“Dainty” Vies With “Comic” Vogue
For Parties on Valentine’s Day
Valentine parties, as the radio come-
dian opines, “are going to be different”
this year. Weary of too many bright-
red hearts, too much gilt and ribbon,
and tired of too much ‘“heart-y” food
smart hostesses
have originated two new kinds of par-
ties for our St. Valentine festivities.
One is the “dainty” party suitable for
your dinner or luncheon or bridge; and
the other is the “comic” party, for a
large get-together.
THE “DAINTY” PARTY
The ‘“daintiness” faction harks back
for its inspiration to the era when ro-
mance was a thing of scented handker-
chiefs and billetdouxs sealed with
doves. Here's a typical setting for this
type of party.that will give you the

Use pastel colors in candles, flowers or

viands luxurious.
THE COMIC KIND
“Comic” parties take their inSpira-
tion from the comic. valentines that
provide decoration and entertainment.
(do have a Valentine box). Rough lin-

or paper plates, a general manner of
slap-dash pervades this kind of party,
and food must be sturdy and filling.

Reuf of the Horticultural Extension
Department of Pennsylvania State Col-

FOR THE COW STABLE
Superphosphate can be used in the
cow stable, It absorbs ammonia and
other stable odors. The greatest value
of using superphosphate in the stable,
however, is that it supplements the
manure with needed plant food, mak-
ing it much more valuable on the land.
CHEAP LIME AVAILABLE
One of the remarkable improvements
in the agricultural lime situation of
the state has come with the increase
of local sources of low-prices lime.
‘Small kilns and stack burning have
made lime available at low cost.
MAINTAIN EGG QUALITY
Eggs should never be held in the
kitchen for the temperature is too high
and the humidity too low for main-
|taining egg quality. Eggs will not
freeze unless the temperature goes be-
low 29 degrees F, but the ideal tem-
prature for holding eggs is between 40
and 55 degrees.
CROWN GALL IS SEVERE
One of the severest diseases of rasp-
berries in Pennsylvania is crown gall,
To avoid it only disease-free plants
should be used. They should be ob-
tained from patches absolutely free,
from the crown gall organism. |
PLAN FAMILY GARDEN
In planning the home garden, four
groups of vegetables should be in-
cluded to have a balanced garden.
These include edible seeds, root crops,
greens and salad plants, and the vege-
table fruits, such as tomatoes, cucum-
bers, and melons.
PROTECT FRUIT TREES
Tree trunks will escape damage from
rabbits if some of the succulent ter-
minal branches are cut off and dropped
to the ground for their dies, say Penn
State fruit specialists.
KEEP FARM ACCOUNTS
More and more farmers are learning
that account books help them to know
which operations are paying and which
are losing money. Someone has said
that a farm without records is like a
clock without hands.
LEARN POULTRY DRESSING
Club members are learning to dress
the poultry grown in their projects,
thus increasing the returns obtalnea
when the birds are marketed.

COASTING ACCIDENT
Attempting to avoid a collision with
a boy who was coming down the hill
on a sled, Lewis Jones of Evergreen

to the Shavertown grade school fence

thinking, probably saved the boy seri-
