LET'S SERVE A BUFFET SUPPER

The most attractive refreshment for an evening party Is the buffet supper. This allows the hostess to make the most of her dining room where she may use a definite color scheme in decorating her table.
 The supper may or may not have a hot dish such as a timbale or patty it should have a salad, sandwiches salted nuts, little cakes. an ice and hot chocolate or coffee. The hot dish adds to the elaborateness but makes a lot more work and almost neces- sitates a competent cook in the kitch- en. The supper of just salad may be prepared by the hostess before the party comes and requires no maid in the dining room.

THE DOUBLE STANDARD

Talk with any girl who has lived a year in college dormitory. and sne discovers that she does not expect romantic love to last forever as her female forbears have done
 rhaps she will quote for you this from Edna St. Vincent Millay: T would indeed that love were longer
 lived.
 And vows were not sn brittle as
 as they are.
 But so it is, and Nature has con-
 trived
 To struggle on without break thus Whether or not we find what we are
 seeking

 This heresy, which shocks an older generation of lovers. seems to be characteristic of the younger. When applied to the conduct of life. it is like a bomb planted under woman's ancient foe, the double moral stan dard.
 And now consider statement made by the statistician of an insurance company:
 "A great racial loss results from the fact that women with higher edu- cation often remain unmarried" And ito look on matrimony as a career with great and inspiring possibilities There can be no argument as to whether a normal woman wishes to marry and to be mother: nor about

Little Stories For Bedtime
SAMMY JAY AND FARMER
 BROWNS BOY
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS

Ever since he had found the strange pond, and the dam which had made it, deep in the Green Forest, Farmer Browns boy studied and studied. and thought and thought about it and who could have made it. It puzzled him. It seemed as if some other boy or man must have done it. It certainly did seem so. He didn't know of any little forest or meadow ~eE!- who could have done it, and yet-well, the stumps of those trees which had been cut looked IS if teeth, very big and wonderful teeth, but teeth and not tools, had done the work Farmer Browns boy didn't say a word to any one about what he had found. It was his very own se- cret-his and Bowser the Hounds. So he waited and watched for a chance to get up there again, but he couldn't get away until the very day that Paddy the Beaver finished har- vesting his food supply.
 Now Farmer Browns boy had learned a great deal about the little people of the Green borest and the Green Meadows. He had learned how very sharp their eyes are and how very keen their noses are, and how very wide open their ears are. He knew that if he wanted to see what was going on about that new pond he would have to be very, very still and careful in getting to it, and when he got there he would have to keep well hidden. So he left Bowser the Hound at home, and Bowser actually cried when he was left behind. Yes, sir Bowser actually cried. Then Farmer Browns boy stole up through the Green Forest until he was near the pond of Paddy the Beaver. The truth is he had begun to suspect who had built that dam and made that pond. He had never seen Beaver, but he had read about them, and he just couldn't think of any one else who could have done such big and wogderful piece of work.
 He was very much excited, was Farmer Browns boy. He wanted to see for himself just what was going on And so when he drew near to the new pond he got down on his hands and knees and crawled slowly oh. so slowly, taking the greatest care not to rustic a leaf or snap a twig or make the least little sound Now 1t is quite likely that Farmer Browns boy would have succeeded in surprising Paddy the Beaver at work had it not been for Sammy Jay. You know Sammy was in the top of a tall pine tree keeping watch, ana Sammys eyes are so sharp that very little escapes them. He saw some thing creeping through tfR Green Forest, and without waiting to see what it was he gave the alarm and Paddy dived into his pond. At first Sammy had thought it was Old Man Coyote creeping up, but as soon as he flew over nearer he knew who it was, and my, my, how he did scream and scoldl
 Farmer Browns boy looked up and scowled angrily. Then he shook his fist at Sammy Jay. "You mischief maker." he growled. ''IIl bring my gun and shoot you one of these days! Yes, sir, that's just what I'll dol"
 But Sammy didn't mind this at all. He knew that Farmer Browns boy had no gun with him this time, and so he flew right down just over his head and screamed at him and called him names to his hearts content. Farmer Browns boy jumped to his feet, for he knew that it was no

ENGLISH AS IT SOUNDS

 Said MT. B.: "No, no. They were talking about going away and she said to him, Find out about the train, dear
 Said Mrs. C.: T think you are both wrong. It seemed to me they were discussing music, for she said "A trained ear very distinctly"
 A few minutes later the woman herself appeared and they told her of their disagreement

NEW YORK-The basque is back.
 No less person than Paul Poiret is ascentuating this fashion from the Pyrenees-taken up and discarded by many generations of fashion de- voices.
 The basque, of course. requires courage-and corsets-for unless one is svelte and youthful the support ing confines of corsets are very nec- essary.
 The basque of today is of silver. worn over green tissue skirt.
 It is edged in fur.
 Being sleeveless and low-necked. it is, when. combined with an artistic skirt, an exceptionally striking din her or theater costume.
 Basque effects are developed. also in many of the Poiret street gowns where the waistline is accenuated.
 It has now been many years since the basque held sway. Long has the cry been: We will not wear them"
 But when they are developed in fascinating material by an artistic hand-of course every woman will be basking in fashions favor in a basque.

longer of the least bit of use to try to steal up to the pond. He threw pine cone at Sammy, and. of course this made Sammy angrier than eTer. He told everybody within hearing just what he thought of Farmer Browns boy and there wasn't a thing that Farmer Browns boy could do about it. So he shrugged his shoulders and walked over to Paddys dam. Then he gave a low whistle of surprise. There out in the pond was Paddy's pew housel It hadn't been there when Farmer Browns boy had found the pond. And there was Pad dy's canal and the stumps of all the trees Paddy had cut. Farmer Browns boy no longer wondered who had made the pond. He knew.
 T think I'll have Beaver skin one of these fine days!"
 You'll have to be smarter than you've ever been yeti" screamed Sammy Jay. But Farmer Browns boy took no notice. You see he didn't understand what Sammy said.
