 Far be it from me to set myself up as the apostle of any move ment to make the food at parties. less luscious. Nobody enjoys q big feed more than I. Only 1t really is rather silly, isn't it, to serve heavy teas to your bridge club late in the afternoon or such a substantial luncheon before the play starts that the foursome can scarcely lift card?
 It's possible to have satisfying refreshments without working yourself to death, too.
 The ieda of the dessert bridge appeals to me because it's easier for the hostess to have everything ready before the guests arrive and get it over with the first thing.
 Serve Crisp Cookies With Wine
 The old-fashioned custom of serving wine and cakes late in the afternoon is charming. Or if you have @ pure fruit punch with tray of macaroons and crisp cook les. D
 Cookies to serve with fruit juice or with wine should be deli- cately favored and crisp. The Victorians served sponge and pound cake with light wines such as Catawba and Scuppernong. These went equally well with un- fermented juices.
 The following recipe for almond cookies is one that my great aunt, Nancy. used for special occa- sions. It was dated 1868 and written in her Book of Receipts" in fine, lady-like penmanship.
 Almond Cookies
 One cup butter. 2 cups sifted pastry flour, l cup fine granuated sugar, 2 eggs, 2 cups shelled almonds, 1-2 lemon.
 Blanch almonds and put them through fine knife of food chop per. Cream butter and sugar and stir in flour. Add eggs, unbeaten, one at time beating each one into mixture thoroughly. Add grated rind and juice of lemon and almonds. Mix well. Cover closely and let stand over night in the ice-box. Roll on lightly floured board into a thin sheet and cut with cookie cutter. Bake ten minutes in @ moderate oven (350 degrees F.).
 Tiny kisses are easy to make and ice to serve.
 Kisses
 Four egg whites, IA cups powdered sugar, 1-2 teaspoon va. nilla, IA teaspoon salt.
 Beat whites of eggs until stiff, adding very gradually all but 2 tablespoonfuls of sugar. Beat in with flavoring. Fold in remain ing sugar. Shape with small spoon or pastry bag and tube on cooky sheet covered with foolscap paper. Bake fifty minutes in very slow oven (257 degrees F.). [

CHAPTER XIV.

'Tm sleepy, too," Puth said Good night" MT. Hunter"
 She was not surprised when he drowsily kissed her forehead Good night, little friend.'
 Worthwhile was proud of its train service. Long ago Silas Hunter had routed his trains through the town and built an imposing depot. One could reach the little city on through trains without hardship.
 Stepping from a Pullman coach at o'clock Tuesday morning, q beautiful girl, wearing expensive ly simple travel clothes and an and looked around for a taxi When a driver presented himself she indicated half a dozen bags at her feet and directed crisply "The Silas Hunter house on Gar field avenue!" She had had nc breakfast and was feeling rather like a martyr who has undertaken a pilgrimage of great hardship fol the good of the world.
 Thus Elaine Chalmers arrived for her campaign to win John Nc eilPs heart.
 When the taxi turned in at the Hunter gateway the appearance of the place dismayed her. She had not been quite prepared for such unkept grounds, such a look ot neglect and desolation. The old house was peeling paint, its porct was sagging, and it's front door of all things.-Was covered with fresh blue paint!
 She got out and the driver piled her bags around her on the porcf and left her there. Almost before her knocking had died away. the door opened a crack and wrin- kled old face peered out.
 Elaine exclaimed, Penny"
 "Eh?" said old Bertha in sur prise.
 "It's me, Penny! It's Elaine Chalmers. I wrote you was com ing and here I am! Come help me get these bags in. Aren't there any other servants here at all?"
 It was the girls imperious man. ner that brought memories floor ing back to old Bertha Gibbs. Eight years rolled away like mist and she saw and heard again an impatient 12-year-old girl with yellow curls and flashing dark eyes demanding warmer water for her bath.
 The old woman said in perplex@ ity, Stand still and let me look at you" She drew the girl into a patch of pale autumn sunlight and peered at her intently. Would you mind speaking again?" she asked then.
 Not at all," Elaine Chalmers laughed. I've every intention of speaking. want to come in and have a bath. I want breakfast I've just gotten off the train and I feel perfectly rocky" She be- gan to gather up some the bags and move toward the door with them.
 "Wait. I'll help you," Bertha said. When they had them inside Bertha urged pantingly, Will you

day and any day for the joy of standing by while the COW Is being milked and then quaff1ng a deep dipperful of the warm milk, with the aroma and all that's how I feel about milk. While that is necessarily a rare treat, do want my milk raw, at least, and the fresher the better. Oh, I'll not spurn the par-boiled article if there is no pure raw milk to be had. But ed milk compares at all favorably with pure raw milk in taste. I think, too, that few connoisseurs who know the flavor of Grade A Raw milk and especially Certified milk will be disposed to differ about this. Incidentally, there are many undernourished young per- sons who should have at least quart of good pure milk daily but do not get 1t because they imagine they don't like milk-they base this notion on their dislike for pasteur- ized milk. They scarcely know what pure raw milk tastes like.
 One reason why I can't feel en- thusiastic about the attempt to make pasteurization compulsory is that the Montreal typhoid epidemic a few years ago was traced to what purported to be "Pasteurized" milk which proves you can't rely on the human factor and milk official ly marked "pasteurized" is not al- ways "safe" as some politicians would have the public think.
 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 No More DentOrs
 Looks as though or Doc Brady's idea is right. The first half of the University of Buffalo, is taken by students along with students in the School of Medicine. As this is rec ognized as one of the best medico- dental schools, you should derive considerable satisfaction from such confirmation of your teaching. CT. s. O.
 Answer-Gbod. My teaching had nothing to do with it, probably. I just saw 1t coming. Won't be long now. Every dentist should be a doctor first.
 Poisoning Rats and Mice
 If ---- Is used on buttered bread to kill mice will the mice die in the walls of the house or will they come out where they can be disposed of? (Mrs. w.. K.)
 Answer-Usually they come out in search of water and die in the open. Details in booklet ''Unbid- den Guests'-send ten cents coin and stamped addressed envelope for copy. |.
 Bad Food
 What to do if one gets sick from eating canned food, like lobster or chicken? (K. P.)
 Answer--If the illness occurs within an hour or two after eating. 1t is probably not g serious illness. or 1t is not due te the food just eat en. In cases of botulism the symp- toms come on many hours after the food containing the toxin was talk en, and are usually not of the ''in- digestion" type. The only sensible course in such sickness is to have medical advice immediately. Copyright 1895, John F. Dille Co.)

LEVEL
STILL BEHIND
Gold Buying And Talks
or Initiation Bring
Little Results

WASHINGTON, NOV. l-R-The
adminlstration's two-year-od drive
to raise the price level was still
far short Friday Of the original
goal-the 1895 Level.
TWO years ago President Roose-
welt inaugurated his nov 10 dep
reciate the dollar by purchasing
gold through the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation. The Labor de-
partmentis wholesale commodity
index was then 70.e per cent Of the
1925 level. IL Is now sos.
IN August, 1888, before the pres
ident announced his monetary
plans, the 1925 dollar would buy
Sl.44 cents worth OF wholesale
commodities. Friday, despite the
depreciation moves and talk OF In
flation, 1t will still buy s1.24 cents
worth OF goods.
For the man on the street, that
means that he can today get "a
per cent more goods at wholesale
for his money than he could In
1925. The same Is substantially true
OF the retail purchasing power OF
the dollar, though not exactly.
Before the president started out
on the monetary program, however
the 1925 dollar would buy almosI
a dollar and u half's worth OF
wholesale commodities.
There have been no recent i'd
minlstration statements to indicate
whether the campaign to raise the
price level will continue. When
Secretary Morgenthau recently re-
turned from Europe, however, n
told newSpapermen America wa!
ready to do its part" in stabilizinI
world ~currencies when other ma
tons were disposed to do theirs.
