Fruit Punch.

A good fruit punch for evening re-
freshment ought not to be too sweet
For usually the rooms are rather warm
and the punch is needed really to
quench the thirst. So remember that
1t is better to have it little too tart
for those with a sweet tooth than too
sweet for most of the guests
Lemon juice is the foundation of most
fruit punches. 1t should be strained
Orange juice may be added. Grape
juice should be added moderately, for il
quickly obliterates other favors just
before serving you can, If you like the
favor, add ginger ale. 1t gives little
tang and sparkle to the beverage.
And the juice of canned pineapple
and the liquid from maraschino cher
ries may also be added. All of them
give pleasant flavor.
Think of the color as we'll as the
flavor. If you want to keep clear
light punch. then don't add grape
juice, If you want dark punch, use
the grape juice with more lavish
hand.

The Chrysanthemum.

The name Is from the Greek chrysos,
meaning gold, and anthemom meaning
flower In Christian tradition, this
flower is supposed to have been born
on the first Christmas, being the token
to the three wise men that they had
reached the spot whittier the star had
hidden them
1t is in reality, however, of Chinese
origin. and was made the official flower
of Japan as early as the fourteenth
century. 1t symbolized perfection. 1t
is now grown in more than 5000 varie-
ties, and it is so popular in this coun-
try that men have paid $4,000 for a
fresh form of the Japanese flower.

The Lily.

Since the twelfth century the lily has
had precedence over every other grow
ing thing in Christian art, and has
symbolized purity. The lily of sacred
art Is sometimes called the Madonna
Lily. It is said to be a native of the
Levant, but was spread with the
spread of Roman civilization through
out Europe.
1t is easy to understand why the lily
stands for purity. with its straight and
upright stalk. its plain, narrow, almost
severe leaves, It's simple and noble
form, and the remarkably pure and
luminous whiteness of its firm petals.

New gloves, although not as ornate
as the gloves of last Winter, are quite
as interesting.
Many of them are quite simple pull

Some have bracelets of matching kid,

Sometimes the glove is made to har-

dozens of them could be seen flying over

Fireflies are found in dark crevices
or underground during the day. In the
evening. when ii is still light enough TO
read, they come out. The females climb
to the tips of the grass stalks or on
other objects and remain quiet. The
males fly about and glow at Intervals
of about five seconds. The females do
not glow unless light from the males or
from some other source is flashed upon
them.
In many species the illumination pro-
duced BIZ the male differs from that pro-
duced by the female In some the glow
of the male Is much more intense than
that of the female. In others there Is
. marked difference in the duration OF
