The center of the spacious floor was reserved for dancing and spe cial cabaret features, while all round the hall were tables placed for those wishing to be served sup per by maids in gay costumes.

Commonplace Vegetables for Good Salad There are a number of common place vegetables that with clever manipulation can be made unusually tasty. Cabbage Salad. Make a dressing; of two table- spoonsful of butter, a tablespoonful of flour, a teaspoonful of salt, two tablcspoonsful of sugar, a teaspoon ful of mustard, one egg, one cup of sweet milk or cream, one cup of vine gar; mix thoroughly. Cook in salted water until tender a small head of cabbage and chop it very fine. Drain, add the dressing and cook for five minutes. Potato Salad. Mix and boil together four table- poonsful of butter, eight table- spoonsful of sugar, one tablespoonful of flour, one tablespoonful of salt. one teaspoonful of mustard, one cup of sweet milk or one-half cream and one-half milk, one-half cup of cider vinegar, three beaten eggs. Boil for five minutes, then add four large cold boiled potatoes, cut up small. Boil all together for three minutes at the back of the stove, then take from the fire and set aside until very cold. Put into a cold bowl and garnish with slices of hard boiled eggs. . ' ' Green Pepper Salad. Green nepoers may be made en tirely wholesome and digestible if they are parboiled before being used for salad. They should be chilled after they are taken from the boiling water and left on the ice until need ed. The green will not be so bril liant as that of the fresh peppers, but they will be very much more whole some. If endives are scalded and then chilled before using for salad is said that they are very much more wholesome than when eaten raw. , who was a college friend ot Mr. Turner at Ann Arbor, Mich.

' Father McManus, with a party of Americans, has been touring the foreign lands since Au gust, and will not return to this country until December. While in Rome he was elevated by Pope Bene dict to the dignity of a monsignor. The new blouses are particularly attractive because they are so va ried in style. Some of them slip over the head, others are made sur plice style, and still others fasten at the front. a the harlr their guest last Thursday Mr. Gil-j shouW Good Usage and Meaning of Words Just at present the word party passes in good usage for anything from the hospitality you offer one or two friends in a cooling glass of lemonade or a cup of tea when you invite them to pass an afternoon hour with you to all the complex and elaborate formality of an in. auguration ball or the wedding re' ception that takes place when an American millionaire's daughter marries a European nobleman. The word may lose caste through being overworked, just as lots of other once acceptable words have done be fore it, .but if you want to be on the safe side now use this word rather than such words as "affair,' "function," "gathering" or entertain ment." If you have attended a large dance and wish, on leaving your hostess, to express your apprecia. tion for the pleasure you have had don t tell her that it was an en joyable affair" or that you have en joyed her "ball" immensely. Say rather that you have had a charm ing time at her party. And speaking of this very useful word party," it is not out of place to mention another use of this word that is in rather ill repute. That is the use of party when we mean simply a person. Those who choose their words carefully avoid this use. Sometimes when a young woman wants to refer to a friend and does not want to indicate the sex of the friend she uses this word, as for in stance, "I had dinner last night with a party from New York," or "I am sorry that I can't come, but I am expecting a caller." How much better to have said, "I had dinner last flight with a man from New York," or "an acquaintance of mine has asked to call." Standards of Living By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. f rom whom do you get your ' ndard of living? Do you do the i ungs you imagint the neighbors expect of you? Do you try to run your life in accordance with the methods practiced by some one you know? Do you ape some one a little higher in the scale of society than you are? Or do you figure out where you stand today, where you want to be a year from now, and how you'll have to arrange matters to reach your fioals.' I know two men who have run their lives irt exactly opposite fash' ions. Loren Is a man whose pay has been high for several years. Every time he sot a raise, he changed hi method of living to keep pace or jump a step in advance ot his in creasing fortunes. He advanced from boarding house to a single room in a small apartment hotel, , Then came two rooms in a bigger hotel. Then a suite of rooms and a rar. A little shack in the country. I Loren was popular. There is no question of that. He had a host of friends come to his parties and to invite him to theirs. He had i good time and everyone he knew was delighted to share it with him and folks were glad to contribute to it. for that matter. Then came a slump in fortunes. Loren is back in a boarding house, and he avoids the friends who might stand by him if he gave them a chance. His firm has become con vinced that he's not shrewd enough because he never saved. They see he'll never have anything to invest in their company. They can't feel that he is important enough to keep on these days when so many firms are paring expenses carefully. On the other hand, there's An drew. He has lived simply for years saving a part of his salary and per mitting his friends to do things their way, while he did them in the fash ion he felt he could afford. He never has been in any way influenced by what other folk did. He has held grimly to a standard he set for him self. A few years ago Andrew went into business. He allowed himself but little money, putting back into the business all he could possibly man age to scrape tosether from his prof its. He hasn t indulged himself in half the things permitted themselves by men with half his earning capac ity. His only generosities have been to the folks he cares for. And he has undoubtedly paid for his gener osity by stinting himself to make up for it. Now that times aren t any too pros perous, Andrew's used to simple liv ing. He hasn t ay expensive habits to break. People are used to him and to the fact that he does what he thinks right and not what they tell him "every one's doing." And he's on the high road to success. It seems simple and obvious, doesn't it? But which are you a Loren or an Andrew? A Recent Bride Will Be Liberty , Cleaning Cupboard Aids the Maid Mrs. Mable Reed, who will take the part of Liberty in the pageant, "Nebraska," to be given November 10 at the Brandeis by the pupils of the Omaha public schools, is an actress of unusual ability. The pub 1: schools are fortunate in number ing among their corps of teachers a woman who has played with Min nie Madden Fisk, Francis Wilson, Robert Edson and others of note. The role of Liberty calls for one of the few spoken parts in the pageant, and the only adult part The dignity of the lines demands a speaking voice of unusual beauty and an exceptional stage presence, both of which the committe in charge of the pasreant feel that Mrs. Reed possesses. A cleaning cupboard? By all means. In some of the new houses a cleaning cupboard is as much' a matter of course as is a sun room or a bath at least for every two sleeping rooms. In other words, a cleaning cup board is one of the little luxuries, the little conveniences that go to make the modern house a palace un dreamed of by Louis XIV., who rev elled in his power and luxury at Versailles in its greatest days. What would he and his courtiers have said when they sat at a banquet in a huge salon heated only by open fires and jokingly chipped the ice that filmed across their wine glasses be tween sips what would they have said at the comfort of a modern heated house? What would Dc Maintenon. sitting shivering in her chair, .made especially with a frame work of curtains around it to pro tect her from the draughts of the badly ventilated palace, have said at the comfort of a modern sun parlor? What would the cooks in the royal kitchens, swearing and sweating over their spits and cranes, have said at sight of a modern electric cooking stove? And what would the slavish servants who tried to keep the palace clean have said at a modern clean ing closet? Well, what would they have saidr Imagine for yourself. And the next time vou need a book ot memories just visualize for yourself the immeasurably greater comfort that most of us have nowadays than even kings and their courtiers had in days gone by. Why just the other day a six-room house was advertised for sale a ser- vantless house, it was boasted en tirely equipped for easy work with .every sort of electrical and other labor saving appliance appliances in themselves that would represent the work of three or four servants m houses a century ago. The cleaning closet, of course, is not a luxury every one can possess. But it is really a means of making life for mistress, maid and cleaning woman easier. It should, ideally, be equipped with a window letting in sun, which is the best means of purifying and drying cleaning cloths. It should, of course, be equipped with a low sink at which pails may be filled and emptied without the necessity of lifting them high to the level of the ordinary sink. It should be equipped with a rack for spreading cloths on to 'lry and with shelves for holding ' all sorts of cleaning agents, and a book on cleaning or else printed or typed lists of remedies for removing spots, stains and tarnish from wood and metal, glass, floors, carpets, plas ter, paint and wall paper. Oatmeal Scones To one cupful of cooked oatmeal add one cupful of milk and stir un til well mixed. Then add a pinch of salt, two teaspoonfuls of sugar, one tablespoonful of melted butter and one cupful of flour, mixed with two rounding teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Next stir in enough flour to make a soft dough, roll out an inch thick, cut in rounds or triangles and bake on a hot greased griddle. Serve with butter and orange marmalade. jfjff lit",1'.
