and Negroes Are as welcome as
Church Members.
XXX
Pittsburgh, Pa.-Plans are being
made by the Roman Catholics of this
section to organize the Knights of the
Flaming Circle, declared by it's organ
izers to be the foe of the Ku Klux
Khan. The new secret organization
does not confine it's membership to
Irish Roman Catholics or even to Ro-
man Catholics, but also welcomes
Jews and negroes as members. Mem
bers of Protestant churches are not
eligible for membership. The Flam-
ing Circle Knights is an avowed anti
Khan organization and countenances
violence only as means of self-de-
Tense.
All of the societies composed of for
eigners have been invited to join the
new organization. It is understood
the Knights of Columbus are giving
the attempt to found the new order
every encouragement.
During their initiation ceremonies
the Knights of the Flaming Circle
wear only masks. Each knight has
a flaming circle over his heart, SYM
bolic, the organizers say, of truth. AS
officers of the new order wear robes,
the name "Red Knights" has been
adopted in making the distinction be-
tween societies where white robes are
worn.

CONTRASTS

1t was an inspiring sight and at the same time a depress-
ing sight. 1t was just a frail, Towering, geranium in a rusty,
bent TIN can that sat on the back window sill of a tenement
house IN the heart Of the tenement section of a large city.
1t was inspiring-why? Because it showed that amid
all the squalor, poverty and depression of such an atmosphere
the soul of some one living there was poisoning. Though
forced by circumstances to live amid sordid and poverty
stricken surroundings, this soul had not lost its love OF beauty
and its joy in the fnenesses of life.
1t was depressng-why Because it was so pathetic. Here
was a soul craving beauty, with an innate love for it. A soul
with a just estimate of the real values of life and a longing
for the real beauties of life Gagged in a dark, dingy sunless ten
ement. A soul that. was starved for beauty.
In another section of the city there was a mansion, per-
feet in its architecture and beautiful in its surroundings.
Green houses filled with flowers, and gardens Astounding IN
%shrubbery and fruit trees surrounded the house. But what
did it all mean to the occupants of that house?
Living there were a young couple whose souls were not
starved but shrivelled. Living in an endless social whirl,
they had no time to enjoy the real beauties OF life. Their
home was a magnificent place to entertain it, but the real
beauty of it never appealed to their souls. Why? Because
their souls had never blossomed, but had withered and
died.
n
It is hard to understand the reason for such strange set
tings in life, isn't it?

Sister Mary Gives
Quantity Rules for
Serving of Guests

Many times a hostess is puzzled
as to how much to prepare for her
guests. OF u the sort of oc-
easion enters into this very largely.
For instance, a smaller portion of
salad will be served with sand
witches at an afternoon tea than
the same salad served with lettuce
At a luncheon.
These calculations may help you:
One quart of whipping cream will
whip to serve twenty-five persons
with one large spoonful. Whipped
cream for chocolate would serve
thirty cups.
One-half pound cocoa will make
twenty-five serving cups of choeo-
late. This will require about four
quarts of milk.
One quart of ice cream is calcu-
lated to serve from six to eight per-
sons. A brick cuts ordinarily into
six portions, but lever or eight can
be made II served with cake.
Sandwiches. made from sandwich
loaf, 48 slices to a loaf. These are
cut in thirds or halves. One pound
of butter will spread sixty whole
sandwiches. Three pints of filing
will make sixty sandwiches.
Weights and Measures
One large layer cake Is calculated
to serve from twelve to sixteen per-
sons. II several kinds of cake are
served the cakes should be cut in
small portions.
One quart of salad serves six to
eight persons, varying with the SER
vice and occasion.
-Four pounds of chicken after
stewing make one quart of salad.
Three ponds fresh salmon are
calculated to make salad for TWEEN
ty-five persons.
Three one-pound cans of shrimps
make salad for twenty-five.
One quart hot boulllon serves
eight persons.
One pound of coffee serves thirty
persons.
Three pints of chopped meat are
calculated to make ~croquettes for
twenty-five persons.
OYSTERS-By number for stew
four to a person; raw, four to six 10
q person; in cream combined
with mushrooms, $50 for twenty
five; chopped in made dishes, two
and one-half to three quarts with
the liquor.
Averages Only
III must be remembered that these
are rough estimates for the average
occasion, They may serve 70 help
you compute the quantities needed
for your own special needs.
In planning for a large dinner, II
the cook calculates on the basis of
her needs for her own family, she
can arrive at a fair conclusion.
In making over recipes be sure to
keep the proportions the same, dou-
BILE every ingredient IL you are max
ing twice the rule. In the matter of
cakes it is better to make two or
binary ones than one extra large
one. This is true of any dish that
requires a large amount OF beat
ing.
In the case of chafing-dish cook
cry, two chatting dishes normally
filled are preferable to n overfilled.
The length of time required to
cook large quantities is increased
to some extent. but not in proportion
to the increase in the rule.

Answer:
The only way to overcome self-consciousness Is just to
quit thinking about yourself. Self-consctousness is nothing
but morbid vanity. the quintessence of egotism. Your mind
is occupied with yourself, how you look, what people are
thinking of you, what impression you are going to make.
Just keep saying to yourself, over and over again, No
body is looking at me; nobody is noticing what 1 have on:
nobody is expecting me to be witty or brilliant" And you
will soon cease to be conscious of yourself. Concentrate your
attention on other people. Talk to people about themselves,
and you will never fail to interest them.
