motifs or scrawls.

Another Snack to Eat
At the Midnight Hour

There are lots of things to serve for
parties. Dolled up things. And fancy
things. And sweet things. And snappy
things. But what shall we serve when
couple come in for rubber or two
Of bridge and talk before the open
fire?
Perhaps you didn't even know very
early that they were coming. You
know they don't expect, don't even
want you to fuss at all. But they viii
want coffee-or chocolate, perhaps, If
coffee keeps them awake-and snack,
because one does get hungry by mid
night.
Here are a couple of suggestions for
that bite, that may be new note for
| you:
Bridge double dsckers-The vogue for
toasted sandwiches grows apace.
Though one would now expect 1t to die
down altogether. Here is good one:
Three slices of toast per person.
One slice Of cold roast pork per per-
son.
One slice Of imported Swiss cheese
per person.
Toast the bread on both sides.
Spread with softened butter and a wee
taste of mustard. For one layer use
the pork, for the other the cheese.
Add lettuce leaf with the meat If you
like. Serve on large plates with slices
of pickle and a whole uuartered tomato
with a splash Of mayonnaise in the
middle. You might serve mustard and
mayonnaiSe separately also. for your
guests who like little more Of that
sort Of thing.
Mushrooms and poached eggs-You
will need four large mushrooms for
every person, well-at least two inches
across before they are broiled. And
toast.
Broil the mushrooms, topside down,
with Q piece Of butter in the top. The
caps only are used for this. Or fry
them in butter II you prefer them that
way. Peach the eggs and put them on
buttered toast. Put mushroom in
each corner Of the toast and q small
sprig Of parsley In the middle of the
egg. Garnish with pickles, small toma-
toes or small beets stuffed with hard
cooked egg.
Now you still have the mushroom
stems left. Don't throw them away.
The next evening you can have cream
OF mushroom soup or mushrooms Ia
king. Slice the stems and cook them
IN little water. They are then ready
for:
Cream Of mushroom soup-Melt two
tablespoonfuls butter In q double boiler.
Blend in two level tablespoonfuIs Of
flour. Add one pint Of milk and the
mushroom stems as well as the liquid
In which they were cooked. II this Is
q thicker soup than you care for, add
little more hot milk. And next time
use a little less -four.
OF course this soup Is q little more
of q luxury IL you use the whole mush-
rooms sliced, but 1t is also an excellent
way to use up stems when you have
used caps for other dishes.

LEAGUE LAUNCHED
SHOP EARLY DRIVE
Stores Responded to Plea
That Children Not Be
Sacrificed to Rush.
BY JULIA BLANSHARD
NEA Service Writer

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-When you
spare yourself and salespeople strain
this Yuletide by needing those hui
name signs, do your Christmas
shopping early" at least one little
thought of gratitude should go to
the Consumers League, because that
organization originated the move
ment.
It was an outgrowth Of the New
york Consumers Leagues war
against the inhuman hiring OF
children for the Christmas rush.
The National Consumers League
took up the fight when Florence
Kelley came from Hull House in
1899 to head that organization.
This year, celebrating her thirtleth
wear of service to the National Con-
s,1ners' League, Mrs. Kelly recalls
those dark days of the COS when
child labor, sweat shops and low
wages made industry thing the
nation should have been ashamed OF.
Stores Hired Children
.In the 9os," Mrs. Kelley re-
called the beginning Of her thirty
years service, the Broadway stores
hired tiny children to help with the
Christmas rush.
For doornen there were wee boys
wearing olive broadcloth suits with
monkey Jackets buttoned from their
waists to their chins with shiny but
tons.
For cash and bundle boys the
smaller the children and the more
nirnble their feet the better they
could dash through the crowded
store aisles. These children often
worked ten hours a day.
1T was no wonde rthat the first
two weeks of January found hos
pital wards so crowded they had to
turn sick children away.
Boy Worked SO Hours
"One of our members had little
boy who worked ninety-nine hours
during Christmas week. He came
down sick with double pneumonia.
The firm sent him his pay. 1t was
81 for the week, just l cent an hour!

Unusually Large Orders of
Imported Goods Will

In anticipation of increased buy

stores have imported unusually
large stocks this year, local GUS

Christmas stocks from other
countries are imported principally
during August and September. This
year imports continued to be re-

ing to George M. Hawkins, assistant
collector of customs.
Importations of toys and other
Christmas gifts has slumped some
what since pre-war-days, Hawkins
said. At that time, most of the
toys were imported from Germany.
The war and the present tariff act,
which increased duty on toys from
35 to 10 per cent, have resulted in
manufacture In this country of a
large part Of the toys given at
Christmas.
Most Of the toys and Christmas
gifts imported come from Germany,
Italy and France, with a lesser
amount from England and Japan,
Hawkins said.
Most Of the Japanese imports are
