SPICE OF 1925" TO-DAY

In one scene of Spice of s1923," which appears at the Jefferson thea tre for the last two times, matinee and night, today. the girls are garbed in coats of paint and very little else. Some sympathetical soul sent them wool en sweaters during the recent cold spell while playing in a neighboring city
 While this was as regarded as funny, it not suffer from cold while wearing the coats of paint. They figure that it closes the pores and keeps the body at blood heat. Of course, they lose no time in cleaning themselves of the paint once the scene is over. Spice" is highly pointed satire which calls for

LOEW's BIJOU

The Shiek and his colored inferior associate as well as the Berg Sisters aud the other handsome young woman are scoring hit in ''Oh, You Shiek," the miniature musical comedy headliner at Loew's Bijou all of this week, pre- sehted by Clay Crouch and company, this act being given much enthusiastic applause.
 There is also Freeman and Morton in their song hit "Everything's All Right" and other hits, while the mili- tary dance of the Demo Sisters and Thibault is full of pep and ginger. Ad- ding to the diversity is a fine musical act presented by Dorothy Nelson, the Norwegian violinist, with Otto Francis at the piano, and the bill opener fur nishes some thrills, when Bee Jung, ''The Flying Venus of the Air." offers sensational aerial feats' on the trapeze.
 Movie fans also find something ''dif- ferent" in the screen feature, "A Lady of Quality" based on the classic by Frances Hodgson Burnett.

Z ancy Chapter
Card Party Is A
Big Success

Established already as a social event
Of moment, it is not surprising that the
announcement of William L. Yancey
chapter, q. D. c., of a forthcoming
bridge party would have been followed
by an Overwhelming demand for tickets.
No card party of the year is more en-
joyable than this function, given ever
so often by a group. of energetic, pa
tfiotic and capable lociety women.
Thus this springs party matches in
success as we'll as in pleasure the parties
Of other years. 1t took place at the
Southern club yesterday afternoon.
Sixty tables were arranged in the ball
room and while several devotees of nah

new feature in the Yancey card parties,
more than 100 played bridge, just as the
guests at Yancey chapter card parties

Mrs. Alex Cecil, Mrs. W. G. Shaekle-

Of the chapter. they seated the guests
and arranged the SCORING and distribl-
ton Of prizes.
The trophies were especially desir-
abe. Different in design and ranging
from the simple hemstitched squares to
the more elaborate drawn and embroid-
cred motifs, all were handsome all-linen
table covers. Each table had one of
these prizes. A refreshing ice was
served at the conclusion of the games.

"but you know how its is with the serv-

Mrs. Rangle alphabetically. You'll

she comes to me yesterday pretending
she was crying and said her sisters lit

she would like to get away today, and
Of course said, oh, very WELL How
can people be so deceitful and tell an

'sWell, you're very silly to be imposed

'sBut how can II" asked Mrs. Jarr

At the side of the waffle bush there
was a little pool of something which
looked like clear water, but when Rag
gedy Ann tasted it she found it was
syrup. So she took a little stick and
dipped the waffles into the syrup pool
so that Raggedy Andy; and the hobby
horse could have some too.
And it was while they were eating
the lovely waffles dipped in the syrup
pool that an old woman who had been
peeping out of the bushes tiptoed out
and picked up the two magical books.
Then. while the Raggedys and the
hobby horse were busy eating she tip
toed back into the bushes and then
ran as hard as she could.
1t was a long time before the Rag
gedys discovered that the two magical
books were gone, for as every one
knows, waffles dipped in syrup are very
good and anyone can eat a great many /;

Raggedy Andy laid the two magical
books, the large red one and the small
green one, down upon the grass while
he helped Ragsedy Ann and the hobby
horse to waffles. You see, Raggedy
Andy did not wish to hold the magical
books while he ate, for the butter on
the waffles would soil the nice books.

If you have a fondness for celery,
try the new variety called Easy Bleach
ing, which is much more nearly immense
to blight than the older kinds. The
seed should be sown in a cold frame or
in a corner of the garden. The plants
should be ready to set out in July, but
there are always advantages in trans
planting celery several times, because
the tap roots are then kept short, and
better growth is made. Early plants
may be purchased and set out before
the end of the month. Celery is not
