The Wedding Breakfast
N EAR Mrs. Post: Will you sug.
- gest good menu for a ten
O'Clock wedding breakfast? There
will be only about two dozen guests.
Answer: At that hour would
make it really a breakfast. Some
thing such as melon and chicken
mince with hashed cream potatoes
or scrambled eggs and sausage, but
tered hot breads, breakfast coffee
(meaning coffee in big cups with
sugar and creamy, and | think that
is enough. Wedding cake and either
champagne or fruit cup or whatever
you are going to use to drink the
brides health are of course part of
every wedding collation..

''tails" for men are absolutely cor
rect at any time after dark, no

Sunday.
Answer: The reason that tails
are never seen on Sunday evening
is that balls and dinners of cere-
mony, which alone require them,
are never given on Sunday.

of excitement when she arrived
at Normandy Farms for dinner,
plus the squirrel and the basket.
Immediately, she ordered small
glass of hot milk and when 1t
came she fed it to the squirrel
from the eye dropper. Then,
she tucked him into his basket
once more, and proceeded with
her own affairs and a converse
ton with her escort.

the Queen Of England is so very

from the way Mrs. Miles de
scribes her, that it is her ex-
quiSite coloring which makes her
so lovely. The Queen, so says
Mrs. Miles, has the most perfect
skin, unbehevably white and
fine, her hair is black and
shining and her eyes are very
blue and-she is the essence Of
gracious charm.

l. small daughter seems at the
moment to be destined for an
acrobatic career. Not so long
ago Mrs. McCracken bought her
young child an outdoor trapeze
set, rings, ropes and what not,
and hoped that she would en-
joy it. She did, at first entirely
alone, while she managed all
the intricate doings and twists
that go with these things. Then
the youngSter invited a few
friends in to see her do these
difficult stunts.
However, it wasn't until last
week that Mrs. McCracken real
lied how expert her child had
become. For, wondering what
on earth could be keeping a
grocery order so long in coming,
Mrs. McCracken just happened
to look out of a back window
and discovered the delivery boy
standing in amazed surprise and
appreciative wonder at young
Miss McCracken going through
her entire acrobatic repertoire.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Nd, June 26.-The
city of Annapolis today withdrew its
petition demanding q referendum on
the 100000 Statewide bond issue,
the committee in charge announced.
The referendum on the bond issue
was started in an effort to block the
fight being made on the bill creating
q bond issue of sl,OOOO00, which is
to be used to erect an Office building
in Annapolis.
The opponents Of the Office building
have filed a petition bearing over TO-
900 names and the case is now before
the Maryland Court Of Appeals.
In announcing the withdrawal of
the referendum petition against the
s9,000,000 bond issue, the committee
in charge, composed Of David S. Jen-
kins, chairman, Mayor Louis N.
Phipps, Clarence E. Tyler and William
U. McCready, said:
The committee in charge of filing
the referendum petition against the
100000 State bond issue has de-
cided not to 90 through with filing
the names necessary to make it i'm
perative for the people OF Maryland
to vote on this issue in November,
1898.
'The committee believes that it
had sufficient reason for starting this
petition for referendum 1t was felt
at the time that such a movement
might cause those responsible for the
petition on the Office building bill to
withhold their attack.
The committee does not desire to
cause the counties and the State OF
Maryland any further embarrassment
in view Of the State hospitals, insti-
tutions for the insane, the demands
of the State prison labor program, the
apparent need of the University of
Maryland and the roads funds needed
to match Federal appropriations"
