The children should. of course, s around the room rather than at the table itself, so that the table need not be spread as for an ordinary meal, but may be adorned with a quantity of flowers, some pretty dishes of candy, and “little boxes filled with sweets which children love to carry home in their pockets. Long wreaths of smi- lax may be draped around the sides of the table, held in place with trailing ends of narrow ribbon. The color of the flowers and ribbons may be pink or red, or yellow For an Autumn party a combination of pink and white asters is pretty. Pink carnations may be used in place f the asier If this centerpiece seems too much trouble to prepare, You may rent or buy from a caterer a large china swan, which is very pret ty when filled with flowers and ferns. With this the table 'nay be lighted with small candles set in low candle sticks. If the party is given on a birthday, the cake, lighted with a number of small candles, may serve as a-centerpiece, or the swan may stand at one end of the table opposite the cake. If the party i given for small chil dren. in the afternoon from to 6 o'clock, very simple refreshments should be served, such as sandwiches and bouillon, with a plain ice cream and some simple cakes. If it is given at a later hour, say from 5 to 8, then the supper should be a more substan. tial meal, with something hot in addi. ton to the simpler things. In the first case, serve the bouillon {n cups, with rolled sandwiches tied with nar how ribbons the color of the flowers on the table. After this, serve either vanilla or peach ice cream with small round cakes iced to match the decora tions, and small cups of cocoa, with some plain candies, or give the chil- dren the filled boxes to take home. Tor 5 or 6 o'clock supper, which should be for older children, you must have something substanti Begin WwWitn a creaq oup, such as one of clam or corn, or oysters, with rolled sandwiches llow this course with creamed chicken, or, if the soup was vegetable, witp creamed oysters and small potato croquettes. After this serve a very plain salad, such as cel ery with mayonnaise, and efther with or without nuts. or have what chil dren will like very much, namely, a pond-lily salad. This fs made by cut- ting the waite of hard-boiled eggs into oblong strips and arranging them in star-shape on a flat leaf of lettuce, Half the yolk of an ezg should be placea in the center, and a very little of the grated volk scattered over it to imitate pollen. French dressing may be lightly sprinkled over the whole without destroying the effect. Tea and coffee are out of place at a children’s party, but chocolate or co coa with whipped cream is appro priate. If a cool drink is wanted, a fruit lemonade will be better than any thing else. The lemonade need not be t0o acid, and shredded bananas and orange juice, which give the flavor, are not disturbing with cream Children’s Rooms. ‘An interesting - feature furnishing today is the so-called nursery furniture. Even in homes where there are no children one or more of the little chalrs are fre- quently found, purchased for the com“ort of occasional tiny visitors. Much of the small furniture is painted wood with bluebirds, flow- ers or Mother Goose pictures for decoration. Small wicker furniture is also used with the gayest of cush- fons. Rubber domes are put on nearly all children's chairs to pre- vent accidental slipping. Back and slde cushions or pads are favored for hard chairs, as they save many a bumped head. Some cushions are made of Japanese grass cloth, either plain or striped, and are decorated with cut-out cretonne flgures or are stenciled. Unbleached muslin is very popular for cushions, as it is a fine materlal to paint or stencil, easy to stitch or couch, and effective for applique work, and it is cheap and easy to obtain. A cheerful, sunshiny expanse windows is of greater value in room where the children play than in any other part of the house. For these windows serviceable curtains are required. Plain net or serim fin- nished wiht a narrow lace edge, then caught back with a cord and tassel loops, are useful and attractive. School Clothes. Handmarked tapes are often sewed onto school garments so that the fol- lowing suggestion will be particularly usetul just now when school outfits are needed. Marking ink is run on tape, but if the tape starched and ironed before the ink is applied it will not only be easfer to write on, but there will be no danger of the ink running and thus making the name difficult to decipher. The most simple and effective way of marking linen when there are a number of garments to be treated Is by means of a stencil bearing the monogram or initlals of the owner. This stencil is placed on the mate- rial to be marked and then. brushed over with a spectal ink. When the stencil is removed a very neat mark- ing is seen, which will not lose lts clearne: fter it h: Mother Precautions. small child sitting on a table even for half a minute| alone.

Never give bables painted toys. They are quite sure to lick off the paint, and do not give them toys covered with fur, as they are quite sure to bite off ome of the fur, which is a dangerous article in the throat or stomach.

Do not allow a child to play and reep around on the floor if a_cold vind blows in under the door. Many kn earache and bad cold is caught In this way. The draft coming in under the door may be easily pre- vented by nailing a_piece of rubber | ereat water into a bath being prepared for a small child and go away to get cold water to add to it. Steam has a| attraction for small children. More than one case of fatal scalding has happened by a curious child fall- ing into the steaming bath while the mother was away. strict rule should be made to pour cold water Into the bath first. Never leave matches or an un- guarded fire or light in the room where children have to be left alone. Lamps or lighted candles should al- ways be placed on a bracket out of reach, especially when there are ven- turesome children in the nursery who will climb on chairs to reach what attracts them. Don't give a child medicine of any kind. If a baby is ill, call a physician. Don't feed a child with a dab of this and a pinch of that and fill his stomach with a mixture of indigestible food. Don’t lock the children in the house while you go to the grocery store, and do not fasten children up in buttoned blankets in Winter be- cause they kick. Both are dangerous practices. Because serlous accidents have sometimes happened to children through their catching hold of the blades’ of sharp instruments, the fol- lowing hint will be useful: Do not try to pull away the instrument, or to force open the child’s hand, but, hold ing the child's hand that is empty, offer to its other hand anything nice or pretty, and it will immediately open and let the dangerous instrument 1.

A warm drink is much more nourishing than bread and butter, cold meat, pie, cake or ainything they may happen to find in the larder. It does not spoil their eve. ning meal as a heavy luncheon would. Alittle castor ofl should be warmed and rubbed into children’s school shoes before they are worn. This oil not only will soften the leather and prevent it from cracking, but it will keep out water. Shoes so treated will not take polish for a few days. An ex cellent plan to make the soles of shoes wear longer is to give them a coat of clear coral varnish, and this should be quite dry before the shoes are worn| | . - | Ginger Pudding. i Mix together thoroughly one and| one-half cups of flour, one teaspoon | each of ginger and soda, one cup mo. lasses, two-thirds cup of boiling water and one beaten egs.

Ham, chicken, veal or any left-over meat may be chopped, fried in fat, sea soned and moistened with cream, then it may be added to a plain omelet be- fore the omelet is cooked. or inserted a filling after the omelet is cooked and before it is folded, or arranged around it when it is ready to be served. Tish may be used, but should Boiled fish would be bet- ter. Cheese grated and sprinkled gen- erously over the omelet before turn- ing or cheese added to a white sauce, using one-half a cuptul of cheese to one cupful of white sauce, and poured around the omelet, makes a tasty varlation. A vegetable omelet is delicious. Chop the vegetables and moisten them with gravy, tomato sauce or cream. Then heat them and add them to the omelet mixture, or spread them over the omelet just be- fore serving it.

C., FRIDAY, Dorothy Dix Men Are Disgusted With, Lack of Daintiness; Shun Temper, Tears and Arguments; Dislike Pose, Vanity and Gold-Digging. How to Make a Hit With Men Gdves Valu- abdle List of Don’ts YOUNG woman asks: “What are some of the things a girl should avold doing i she wants to make a hit with men?” Well, daughter, that depends upon the individual man. Every mother's son of them has his own little private list of “don’ts” for women, but, generally speaking, I should say that chief among the feminine folbles that get on men's nerves are these: Slovenliness. Men put cleanliness next to godliness in women, and nothing disgusts them more than a girl with unkempt hands and frowsy halr, who looks as if her clothes had been thrown at her' with a- pitchfork. 1t is only artists who like women in flowing robes with loose ribbons. The ordinary man llkes a girl who is neat and tidy and trim and taut, whose heels are straight, and who never wears soiled finery. No maiden ever snared a man’s fancy in a neglige, and no wife holds her husband’s love who wears kimonos to breakfust. Men don't like women who argue. Whatever the balance of an unappreciative world may think of his opinions, every man looks forward to being Sir Oracle to his wife. He wants the woman he marries to gasp with awe and wonder at his wisdom as he lays down the law, and so he passes up the girl who challenges his every statement, and is loaded up with facts and statistics to prove him wrong. High temper in a woman disgusts a distorted with fury, and her tongue saying venomous ‘words, is as repulsive a sight to him as Is a drunken woman. Also he is afraid of her. He may be brave enough to face a machine gun, but when it comes to facing a virago, his bones turn to water and his soul quails within him. He doesn't want for a wife a woman who will keep him terrorized, and walking gingerly and speaking softly for fear of rousing the devil within her. 3N don't like morbid women, who are always vivisecting their emotions, they man. A woman with her face . and they flee from a teary woman who s forever telling her grievances as would from the plague. Men want women to listen sympathetic: they don't want to lend an ear to a woman'’s tale of woe. They are willing to help & woman friend in trouble by lending her money, or sending her flowers, but they are not going to spend any evenings mingling their weeps with hers, and the boy who lets a lachrymose lady get past thelr office door loses his job. 1ly to their hard-luck stories, but | Men don't like vain women who expect to be perpetually flattered. When L it comes to incense burning they had rather be the burnee than the burner. They don’t mind offering up a few well deserved tributes to a girl's hair and eyes and boyish figure, but they also have hair and eyes and boyish figures | that are deserving of mention. | And so the girl who is so stuck on herself, as the phrase goes, that she {never notices any one else, makes no killing with men | Men do not lke girls who pose, who pretend. who put on airs. They {loathe the girl who is always teMing about an aristocratic family she came from, and who acts us if she were u queen, condescending to an humble | subject every time she goes out with a man. They admire and respect the poor girl who dresses according to her means, and who makes no bones of telling that she works because she needs the money, and that she makes her own frocks and hats, and helps mother with the cooking, % But they have a contempt for the working girl who pretends to be a blase soclety bud, who has gone into an office for the thrill of the thing, and who lies about her homemude gown being.a cheap little import that she picked up for $175, and who says that the kitchen disgusts her, and that she can't boil water without burning it. M EN don't like dumb donas that they have o work like coal heavers to entertain, and who have never a word to say for themselves, Neither do they like women who monologu ty the hou about themselves, and who never give a man a chance to put in a word edgewise, And they abominate sarcastic women who . are and cynical cracks Men don't like the gold diggers who are out for all they can get, who are always hinting for presents, who invariably order the highest priced | dishes on the menu, and who insist on being taken to the most expensive places to dance. . i Nor do th and who affronts P always making witty like a cheap woman who is always counting the pennies, their vanity by intimating that they can’t afford the things They like a woman who takes what they give without question and enjoys it, and who, whether they offer her a champagne supper or sandwiches and coffee, or whether they take her to ride in a flivver or an expensive car, makes them feel that she is having the time of her life. Men don’t like women who brag about their conquests and who make out that there are dozens of millionaires just dying to marry them. They know that they will be exhibit X in her collection of scalps, and that she will tell the next man all about them. Men like a woman to be appreciative, but not overpleased. Just because they take her out is no reason why she should go around looking like the cat that has eaten the canary. Few men like to have a woman run after them so openly that everybody perceives it and speculates about whether she will be able to catch them or whether they will be foxy enough to outwit her, and the average man feels murderous toward the woman who is always calling him on the telephone. These are the things that men dislike in women. The things any man likes are amiability, good nature, daintiness and the tact that enables a woman to make a man feel pleased with himself, with her and with all the world. _DOROTHY DIX.

For the last two years we have been very lucky in the way of clothes. Long, stralght lines have been the fashion, with all dresses as slim as possible.

Now the inevitable reaction does the trick), so you should_train yourself ‘to [ook for the outside lines of all your, dresses, particularly in combination 'with yout hats.
