MEXICO CITY.

From E. b. Mount Rainier.)
To Mrs. H. M. S., Bloomington,
ILL.,:
I visited Silver City several years
ago, but my stay was short. 1t was
during the Summer and although it
was excessively hot, it was dry and
bearable. I also spent about a
month in Deming, when my hus-
band was in the service. At the
time we found housing difficult and
it was necessary to resort to a
trailer or the hotel. Food and other
prices were equally as high as other
places. The climate is ideal for
your little girl If she needs dryness.
Although it was September when
We were in Deming, it was warm
enough for summer clothing, but
the minute evening came it was
cold. recall going to, football
game, carrying topcoat and a ter
rifle sandstorm blew up during the
game, which forced everyone to
leave and it became so bitter cold, a
fur coat would have been comfor-
table, SO be prepared to have heavy
clothing during winter months. I
found it always best to get in touch
with the United States Weather
Bureau in Washington for reliable
information as to temperature
changes, ETC., in different cities. I
did this before left for Deming.
I wish to thank the party who,
sometime ago suggested wrapping
corn-in aluminium foil and baking
it in the oven. found this de-
hcious.

EgebIanf Soub

In Athens, some years before the
war, they made a fine soup, the
basis of which was eggplant, believe
it or not. If you want to try your
hand at something new, this is for
you:
Peel and dice a medium sized egg
plant and cook it in u cup of hot
oil until tender. Add 2 cups of
cut-up fresh tomatoes or canned
ones, drained, and 1 cup of cooked
rice. Season freely with salt and
pepper. Cover the pot and cook for
half an hour.
Make up some very small meat
balls. Bind them with egg yolk to
keep them firm. Bring cups of
brown stock or bouillon to the boil
ing point and poach the meat balls
in it. Sprinkle with parsley, COM
bine with the eggplant mixture and
serve very hot with separate dish
of grated Parmesan chees for Sprin-
king.

(From Mrs. M. v. M, Washington. J

am one who, with an invalid
husband and four children. spent
nearly two years in New Mexico.
AS my husband was an officer in the
United States Army. we were sta
toned at the general United States
Army hospital at Fort Bayard. I
believe the name of the place has
since been changed, but it was up
in an altitude of pine trees and as
I remember was about 9 miles from
Silver City. We used to 60 shop
ping there in the Army blackboard
drawn by mules. This was 80 years
ago, and I presume things are very
different now as regards transpor-
tation.
On our journey out there, I re-
member the towns of Deming, Hur-
ley, Central, etc. If you intend to
be in this location, I would say as
regards the climate, that it is much
the same as here. Snow and cold
in winter time, temperatures of
about "a degrees in summer, but
with always cool summer nights.
I would say that the same clothes
you wear here would do there, with
wool or fur coats acceptable in
winter, also heavy bedding. The
days are most always sunshiny and
bright. The atmosphere is like a
wonderful tonic and due to its clear
ness, one can see a great distance
only the mountains, a beautiful
! blue sapphire shade. Seems very
close and at night the heavens are
full of stars which we seldom see.
In March I remember the very
unpleasant wind and dust storms
which started around II am. and
continued until pm, when ones
house would be covered with fine
sand. OF course, the country is
rugged and desert like, with tumble
weed, cactus and yucca. The soil
is very sandy and hard on shoes.
If you are going to an Army post,
your food needs will be taken care
Of at commissary, but I do not
know anything of the present day
prices in the different towns or of
housing conditions. When I went to
Fort Bayard, I though I had really
come to the end of the world for
me. The towns are totally different
from anything like those of North
east or Middle West. If one is a
lover of the great outdoors he will
see much to charm him and the
wonderful air puts new life into
the most jaded.

More power to the mother in

stamina to refuse to let her sons

"beggarS' night" 1t is a most dis

lead some youngsters to believe that
they can blackmail society out of

Mussolini and Hitler used to say to
England, France and the other DEM

want and we won't declare war on
you" Tricks or treats may seem
harmless to some-but they are
usually parents who are too indiffer-

wrong and right in their children.
We have three children-the old

PARTY FOR 2-YEAR-OLD.

(Fr0n Mrs. II. p, Washington
We have found it best to make
birthday celebrations for small chill
dren supper party. Two-year-olds
arrive at S, and after handing over
their gifts are allowed to play few
minutes. Supper may be something
simple: Baby soup with buttered
crackers, or scrambled egg with
potato chips and spinach or green
beans. Milk. Dessert is birthday
cake and ice cream. Favors are
better given after dessert. I used
toy cars as gifts, for a boys party,
and plastic boat whistles at the girls.
Paper hats are always fun. So are
balloons. They do not play games
but will play with the hosts toys.
They take long to eat. Paper cups,
plates and table mats are best, but
regular bibs should be used.

HALLOWEEN GAMES.

HALLOWEEN GAMES.
(From Mrs. E. E. r., Washington. J
Here are a few Halloween games
for Mrs. M. A., Arlington:
l. The Ring in the Goblet-Attach
a string to ring, a wedding ring,
If possible. Hold the end Of the
string in the left hand, so that the
ring itself bangles into a glass be-
low. Repeat the alphabet slowly.
Whenever the rings hit the side of
the goblet 1t indicates the initial of
ones fate.
2. Apple Antics-Lay a broom on
the floor with an apple about 20
inches in front of 1t. Vary this dis
tance according to the size of the
player. The player kneels, putting
both knees and both hands on the
handle. The object then is to stoop
forward without moving either the
hands or the feet and pick up the
apple with the teeth. To the sue
cessful one will come great success
in later life.
8. The Luggies-Three bowls stand
in a row on table; one filled with
clear water, one with muddy water
and the third empty. Each player
in turn is blindfolded, turned three
times and led to the table. A hand
is put out and prophecy made by
the bowl touched. Clear water
shows happy married life, muddy
water misery and divorce and the
empty bowl single blessedness.
4. Collaring the Cat-"Health,
happiness, luck-yes, all of these
come to the one who collars the
cat; but he who fails three times,
they say, forfeit will have to pay"
A toy cat is placed at one end of
the room. Each player in turn
stands eight feet away from the cat
and attempts to collar it, using
three different sized embroidery
hoops. Those who fail pay forfeits.

 It tells of the' anguish and sacri- fees that are hers when she gives up the son born of that love in ord CT to relieve him of the stigma of his illicit birth.
