Helen had never before had Warren'a whole family to dinner. They had planned for It laat New Tear's, but Warren's father was taken 111. so the dinner had been cancelled. ' Christmas dinner was always wrth his parents, and this year his sister Carrie was to have the family at New tear's. So Thanks giving fall to Helen. With all her heart she dreaded It. For the first time her ability as a housekeeper and hostess would h thoroughly tested by his peo ple. And In so many ways she was at a disadvantage. Her (lining room was very small ten people would crowd It uncomfortably. Also, the service for ten would dtraln the resources of her china closet and pantry. But she must make It a success! She thought of Carrie with her larger apart ment, larger dining loom and better equipped kitchen. Yet, Helen was deter mined that Carrie should have no better dinner.. , ' For days" she had studied the Thanks giving menus In all the November home and housekeeiilng magailncs. 'But they were d!l so elaborate none of them could she follow entire. , , This morning she cleared the dining room table'," and now,' with all the mag azine spread before hr. she began, ioi write out on a large sheet of paper a menu compiled from them all. There was so much to consider In mak ing up this menu the number of people, the cost, the fact that there was no one to serve It but Delia. After much pon-i dering over the magazines, much nib bling of the end of her pencil and much consultation with Delia, Helen finally wrote out this dinner: Grapefruit with Maraschino Cherries. Cream of Tomato Soup. Bread Sticks. (Three at each p.aie. t.td with orange and red ribbon.) Celery. Olives. ba.ted Almonds. Roast Turkey, Chetnut Stuffing. Cranberry Bauce. Blackberry Jelly. Sweet Potatoes. Baked Squash. Asparagus Salad a la Vinaigrette. Plum Pudding. Wine Sauce. Sweet Cider. Coffee. ' Nuts. Fruits. Bonbons. Raisins. The only dish with which Helen was not thoroughly familiar was the salad a i.la vinaigrette. And she had chosen that for the decorative qualities, as shown by the Illustration. She knew that no dish could ever be made to look like a magazine Illustration, but she knew that If she followed the directions very carefully this fancy salad could be made most attractive. On anther piece of paper, Helen now beg ".n to figure up the cost. Warron had said last night, "Now," there's no sense in.splurglng on this dinner. You ouitht to be able to get up a pretty decent meal f jr ten people for $20-that's $2 a plate. You can dine anywhere for that." Twenty dollars could she get It up for that? The turkey alone would be what? Here she began to figure. They had de cided that two small turkles would be bette' than one very large one, as the two would give a greater selection of parts. Everybody always wanted the brsast or the first joint. Two ten-pound turkeys at 90 cents a pound would be 16.00. Then the grape fruit, five at 25 cents apiece, would be II U. Hut she crossed out these figures and began over again. She would write thein down with the prices In the order they tame on the menu, and then add them all uu together: Giape fruit, five at o e.ch $1-25 'iumatoes for soup ceiciy W Oilves baited almonds M 'lurkey. two Impounders at SUc 6.(W Cranberries bwett potatoes hijuaih Akpaiagu baiau i-.um pudding Nuia (mlxeo) Fruit ltautlns Cider And now Helen counted this up. so 26 1W Z.00 i.' .60 .7o ..0 l.W Hh'a was not rapid or accurate at figures, so the had to go over It seveial times be foia she was sure of the result 513.40. Nineteen dollars and forty cents and that was not allowing for any extras. It waa, merely the raw material and on sev eral Items she was not at fill sure that she had allowed enough. And she must buy a dew roasting pan they had nothing large enough to hold the two turkeys. When everything was counted It would be much more than 130. but she would try to keep It M near that a possible. She gathered up her magazines and menus and put them away. It was a week yet until Thanksgiving, snd there was much to be dona before the actual preparations of the dinner. The whole apartment must be thor oughly cleaned and put In perfect order, for Carrie's keen eyey would be every where. There would be nothing she could not see. Carrie herself was an excellent housekeeper, but she kept two maids and worked them almost to death. And Helun resolved to show her that she could keep her apartment Just as clean with only one maid, who was not overworked. "Now, Delia," going out Into the kitchen, "I want to put fresh paper on all these pantry shelves today and clean up the pantry thoroughly. Tomorrow's Sat urdaywe'll polish all the furniture and clean all the silver and braises. Monday we'll clean the sitting room, library and dining room. Tuesdny the bedrooms, bath room and hall. It'll take us all Wednes day to get ready for dinner we don't want to leave any cleaning for that day." Late Monday afternoon Helen hurried downtown to a department store fur the roasting pan, candles and some lace paper mats. On the way home she stopped at a big. fancy grocer's for the nuis, bon-bons, raisins, olives and fruit. The store was crowded with pyramids of oranges, lemons and grape fruit, basket of fruit tied with ribbons, and great cases of fancy canned and attractively packaged goods. Helen bought more than she had In tended. She could not resist a box of crystalized ginger, a jar of stuffed dates and one of especially washed figs. They would make the table no much more at' tractive. Finally she had to tear herself away for fear of buying more. Never had the stores and the goods seemed so alluring. Even the butcher's a place from which she usually shrank--had a festive Thanks giving air. A fat pig With an apple in Its mouth and a paper frilled collar was In the window. The floor was freshly sawdusted, and the decorations of pars ley and paper frills took away some of the horror of the hanging carcasses. On the way home she stopped abruptly as she passed a florist. There must be some flowers .something for a centerpiece. Perhaps she had better leave the order now. She wanted roses, but found they were too expensive, ' eo decided on two dozen pink carnations, as they made the best show for the least money, and with her pink candle shades would be very at tractive. When she reached home she had a con sciousness of having spent a great deal more money than she had Intended. And she found In the next two days that there were still other things to buy. Already the dinner was adding up to much over $20. She found, too, that though she had tried to plan the work so there would be no cleaning left for Wednesday yet there were still many things to be done of which she had not thought. Wednesday night she worked up until IS o'clock and set the alarm for the next morning. Thanksgiving. She knew that she was wearing herself out, and that she would be too tired and too ner vous to enjoy the dinner. But Bhe was only doing what had to be done. As this was the first time she hud ever had all of Warren's family to dinner, she was de termined to have everything "right." So ehe could not spare herself now. "What In thunder have you been doing?" grumbled Warren when she finally came to bed. '"Oh, dear, I know It's late, but there were so many thlnga I had to do-l was afraid to leave them all until tomorrow." "Huh!" as he turned over heavily, "One would think you were getting up a ban quet Instead of an ordinary dinner for ten people." He had been sleeping soundly tvr the last two hours, and now he wa9 snoring again almost before he stopped speaking. But Helen, too tired to sleep, lay awake wondering If everything would "go right" tomorrow. 3 Nubs of Knowledge In 1910 the United States produced two- third of the world's output of petroleum In a month a single caterpillar devours 6,000 times Its own weight In food.

Senseless Ily WIMFUE Last night I went to dinner with three women and three men. This morning, I feel as If I had two heads and four tongues and not an ear to my name. No It wasn't the things we had to drink It was a strictly temperance dinner it was tha things we had to talk about Two of the men were unusually talkers. One of them had Just come back from a long trip to Cen ttal Asia, where he had lived svlth sotrtr queer kind of old being who dyed his beard scarlet and wore a yellow robe and green slippers. And the other man hud Just written, rehearsed and produced an exceedingly successful play. The third man had sense enough to sit and listen to the news about these things. The women? Not they! What did they rare about t'ential Asia, or about the way a man rehearses a play. What the women at dinner wanted to talk about was the weather, and the new hats, and the Bmllhses' mother-in-law, and the Joneses' new cousin come from nobody knows wlvere, my desr, "with the queerest clolheH, full skirts such as they wore two years back," and the sales In gloves, and the maid who waited upon tho table, and the maid who opened the door, and was It true that Mlns Bo and Ho was really engaged, or was it Just newspaper talk? I'ersoiiall tles, peisonallt'.cs, personalities, and the stupidest kind of personalities at that. One of the clevtrt men started, poor thing, to tell a clever story. Just as he was getting to the point, "b-s-t-" his wife whispered In my entrance ear: "Have you seen those new gloves at Ho and So?" and I shall never know how that story ended unlet. I ring up the clover man on the "phono and make him tell me; and If I do that, 1 suppose both he uiol his wife will think 1 am trying to make love to him. They were talking about plays. "I re member," said one clever man " WhuHh," chuttered the clever man's wife, "weren't those dreues frights In that play?" "Hideouts," eagerly assented the first clever man's wife, "and dldn t the lead ing woman look exactly Ilka thst sister-In-law i.f the Hmllhs, who visited them winter before last?" And then we had to hear all about the Hntlths and tnelr sister-in-law and their mother-ln-law-no, It w:ia a step-mother and she'd been married three, times, I remember noth ing pretty about her either, so they said and all about Smith and the way he walked, and the way he talked and what train he came home on at night when he lived out at New rtochelle. And then both of those women com plained bitterly that both of their hus- jjjj , j Ij ;: -3 mm itjfe4i!i1l!:ilH!!il!!S J: It Is farthest from the sun, twenty-ono deirreos, on the 7th.
