Dear Madam Aealn I come Io ou for

It la a comfort to know of auch an ex

tblnsa one shojld know.
First Kindly advlt me vhat lo neriu for
refreshment (at night) for tnenty.four peo
ple, not expenalve I cannot seat them In
my dining room I do not care for aaladl
Second What kind of sandwlchea do ou
think nice to serve with cocoa, cake, nuta
und cand?
Third, What would sou suggeat to aerva
with Ice cream alao before the lea cream,
lata at nlghiT I do not care to have am
thins: expenilie. yet one geta tired of ice
cream and cake. 1 would Ilka to do aome-i
thing different I
Fourth Also auggeat soma amusement 1
for elderly people (twelve couples) I
Kirst. felnce you do not care for salads,
chlcKen croquettes or patties are nice
to serve as a light supper for evening
parties These need not be expensive
If made at home The pattle shell can
be bought and filled at home. With this
jou would only need coffee and cake for
dessert. I know of a hostess who made
ft huge success of her party by serving
hot waffles and coffee for refreshments
Siie served nothing else, but a great
many wafflles disappeared
Sausages and rolls, coffee and coffee
cake make a change.
Second. With cocoa, etc any of the
following sandwiches would be nice:
Minced ham. nut bread and cheese,
toasted cheese, minced chicken with
chopped olive and mavonnalse or pi
mento cheese.
Third Any of the above sandwiches
could be served before the Ice cream, or
you might serve sometning not. Hiices ot
toast with creamed chicken are very
appetizing. If you care to leave out the
Ice cream, a delicious supper dish can
tie made by melting cheese and con
densed tomato soup together, and serv
ing It on toast. Use the American
deese. You might serve orange water
Ice or just cake and coffee as dessert
with this.
Fourth. Cards or progressive games
(six tables)-would be best. I will mall
games that can be played at these pro
gressive tables

1 don t know what to think, for she la a
rather mean girl and haa the reputation of
being Jealous of others Something like
thla happened onco before with another girl
and tho boy in queatlon said he could not
explain it. aa It would not be gentlemanly
for him to do ao I would like to have lour
advice on tha matter. KDITIf.
Don't jou think, my dear Udlth, that
sixteen Is pretty oung to be worrying
as to whether a voung man Is In love
with you or not?
I think I would tell the voung man
that you are too voung to think of him
In the light of a lover, but ou would
like very much to keep his friendship
(Later that friendship may ripen Into
love, but I would not be serious on the
subject now )
I do not think I would listen to tales
from a girl vou know to be apt to dis
tort the truth and who has not seemed
to keep her friends. It's too bad to have
to say so, but some girls 'cannot bear
to see another attract a man they have

are not civic, but nntl-soclal. Yet when
a tiualnt law breaker of ten holds out a
newspiper or p ukage of chewing gum
while ho glibly sings over again the oft
repeated story of n sick mother and
many brothers and slbtrs, the average
Phlladelphlin slips a coin Into the ex
tended lnnd and passes on to his theatre
or club, happy In the thought that he
has done n virtuous deed
As Mr Dooley said to Hennessey. "If
I'm sick In inn room upstairs er don't
care, but when I begin hollerln' and
Jumpln' on the (lure tin' knockln' the
plasterln' down on vcr head, je'U slnd
for the doctor "
.Since the outbreak of tho war there
has been a great revival of Interest In
nil fields of social servlte. New organ
izations arid committees are springing up
everv where Thc-o Digitizations, for
the most part, are Interested only In
those who are 'knocking tho plastering
down on our heads. .Surely tho war
has so developed our social conscious
ness that we shall no longer view with
Indifference this violation of tho law,
one of tho surest Bourcea of a lt-tei
career of delinquency.
The wnr's great watte should make
us resolve that none of our children shall
be sacrificed through causes within our
control lvery citizen owea It to his
country to take a more active Interest
thn ever before In tho education, rec
reation, vocation and health of the chil
dren of Philadelphia. Let us not forget
the words ot General Baden-Powell:
"The true victory will He not so much
In the actual tactical gains on the bat
tlefield today as In the quality of tho
men who have to carry on the work of
the country after the war. War kills
off the best of u nation's manhood ;
therefore, extra care must bo exercised
Magic
Tho little house Is brown and down
at heel,
Iho casements crumble nnd tho
porches sag;
Complaining; hinges hold a crooked
gato
And from tho chimney sullen
smoko wreaths lag:
But, us I pass, within a window
hung
I sco a aervlco flag with tripled
stars;
And nil nt onco the walls grow tall
and fair,
And not an ugly line their beauty
mars.
Carved, stately pillars welcome at
the door,
A beckoning finger from each
chimney starts,
And, In it moment changed, the
little house
Becomes a palace filled with roal
heai ts.
