Military Reception.
One of the largest social functions
ever held at Camp tuns ton was the
dancing party and reception -given
by the enlisted men of th provost

Monday evening. The affair was
given in honor of the officers and
men of the organization soon 'to be

by the members of the 69th Infantry
orchestra, and a number of cabaret
acts were features of the evening.
The decorations were very elabor
ate, streamers of the tri-color being
used, and shaded lights. Over 800
guests came from the surrounding
towns and Kansas City, special cars
bringing them to the camp.

istic of the different countries were
sold for the benefit of this depart
ment. Many of the girls in charge
were in costume, which added a pic
turesque touch to the assemblage.

There is nothing more acceptable
to convalescents than this easily
prepared dish. An old fowl will do
admirably for this purpose. Clean,
wash and cut up into sections. Cover
with cold water, add a sliced onion,
a sprig of parsley, a teaspoonful of
salt, a dash of red pepper and a few
stalks of .soup celery. Cook slowly
until the meat falls from the bones
then strain through a very fine sieve
and let it stand in a bowl or crock
in a cool place. When the fat hard
ens on top remove it carefully, and
this may be used for frying pota-
toes. The jelly should be clear and
firm when ready for use next day
and will keep well in cold weather,
For variety heat a cupful and serve
to the invalid as chicken broth.

I am painting a picture
A wonderful picture
With a mental brush
And my colors are
Drawn from
A deep fount of
Imagination
From which the last
Color is never
Drawn because
They are always
Filling in
Where I take out.
This painting is
A wonderful picture of
My future and
Life hereafter
And the journey of
My soul and self
And in it is
A glimpse of Heaven
And also a little
Bit of hell
But the picture is
The only thing that
Makes life worth
The living
And yet I know
That the picture will
Never be complete
For that is life
To paint and paint
Upon the same old
Canvas .
And find at the end
Of each day
The same
Old canvas still
But greater than all
The marvelous
Masterpieces
Stands out by itself
My own amateurish
Efforts because they
Speak of future
Days and hope and
Love and song and '
Happiness -
And success.
Crude and unfinished .
My picture stands
With each days'
Efforts added
My little glimpse
Of Heaven and
Hell
And yet I am not
So sure that
Old Omar didn't have
The right idea
For he lived in the
Today
And let
Tomorrow go hang.
Omar never painted a
Picture -Of
his' future
And so he died,
After living long,
Without having to face
His canvas
And without knowing
What
A poor painter he
MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

The Heart of Woman
By Theodosia Garrison.
When down the mud-black Flanders
road
The ranks file by,
You know not that I walk with you,
But there am I.
You limp a little laugh, and do not
care
It is my feet that leave the blood
stains there.
Through all the fury and the flame,
The hate and wrath,
Through all the ways of dread and
pain,
I share your path.
You take it as the day's work un
dismayed, It is my flesh that shrinks and is
afraid.
There is no burden on your strength
I do not bear,
There is no horror that you face
But I am there.
There is no wound that you may
ever know
But that my heart is shattered by
the blow.

America has never appreciated the
afternoon tea habit as our English
cousins have for many generations.
If one ever realizes how delightful
it is to relax at five o'clock and
share a cup of tea with a friend, the
habit will surely grow. Or as a
simple method of entertain
ing, nothing is more agree
able than to have a group
of friends gathered over the
teacups. When more than a few
are assembled, the afternoon tea
loses some of its intimate charm, but
it still is a pleasant function.
Serving the Tea.
The tcaball.is the nicest method of
making tea if only two or three cups
are to be served; but when many
are to be made, some other way
must be employed. A tea service,
from which one may pour in the
serving room, is probably the most
attractive way to serve tea, but all
of us are not the happy owners of
such a service. If the tea is made
"behind the scenes," it is probably
best to brew a small quantity of
very strong tea, say use 2 table
spoons to the cup of water; then put
a small amount of this tea essence
in the cup as needed and fill the
cup with freshly boiling water. An
other way of serving a large num
ber with their varying tastes, is to
tie one teaspoon of tea loosely into
a small square of new thin white
material, and leave one end of the
ribbon, with which the cloth is tied,
long. Place this tiny bag of tea on
the saucer, and fill the cup with
freshly boiling water. Then each
guest brew a cup of tea to suit her
own fancy.
Dainties to Serve With Afternoon
Tea.
A simple wafer or biscuit is always
satisfactory especially as the tea
hour is close to the dinner hour;
but for special one may like to in
clude a fancier titbit. A simple
sandwich is always good, especially
a sweet sandwich. A cooky or
small cake is served in preference
to a slice of a large cake. The usual
candies and nuts are often included
Marshmallow Wafers.

itself in for.
The household may be one where
the child will be given plenty of
room to be himself in, to find a 24-hour-a-day
happiness. Or it may
be one where the grim people in au
thority were themselves born grown
up, and who therefore believe in
suppressing all infancy.
The new born baby may find it
self in the control of . parents who
regard children as a lower and tub
ject race. Or it may alight among
elders who believe that children are
human beings like themselves.
But it's all so uncertain that one
wonders that the little creatures
have the courage to be born at all.
Isn't it time that all parents had
an understanding as to the part chil
dren should play in the homer
We've all heard a great deal about
the old fashioned idea of "keeping
children in their place." This meant
speaking only when they were spok
en too, eating what was set before
them and being whipped if thpy
wandered into any interesting little
y-path of their own discovering.
Being a child in those days must
have been a state that one hurried
to grow out of with all one's might
and main.
Simple friendly New England
households used to say in regard to
a young girl who came to do the
housework that they made her
"one of the family."
It seems to me that this is al
most more than could be said of the
old-fashioned child, trained as he
was to believe himself the inferior
of all adults. They simply didn't
make him one of the family.
Juvenile Despotisms.
On the other hand we have seen
households where the children re
duced their elders to a most unbe
coming, grovelling sort of slavery,
and disagreeably held the position
of tyrants households where par
ents had to plead for a chance to
talk or think or pursue their affairs.
fheres not much happiness tor
anybody in such a state of things
as that.
But there's still another way of
handling the child question and I
think it is the only way that pro
duces a really happy household.
This means treating children as it
they could reason which they can.
It gives them their own tair share
of tne tamny responsioiiuies. n
means running the household, not
like a prison, but like a club.
Try it, and see how it works.
Shall I explain a little?
Parents who. believe in managing
their families on the club principle
resist the temptation of prolonging
the babyhood of their children. And
it is a temptation. When these boys
and girls are six years old they are
not treated as if they were three.
Their intelligence is respected.
Their queer, new little personalities
which probably aren t a bit like tneir
parents', are respected, too, and so
is their right to express themselves.
Another thing these parents 1 am
speaking of try n)t to do is to seize
the whole house for themselves and
keep it unnaturally orderly and oth
erwise impossible to p'.ay in, banish
ing the children to a few untidy
corners.
These people see that the only
infinite and live with you, is to di
vide up your home with them. Does
not that seem 'reasonable? They
give their youngsters just as much
space and sunshine as they have
themselves, and let them do as they
like in it so long as the club rules,
that is the family rules, are follow
ed. . ,
You will probably ask where th
rules come from. That's very im
portant. The parents and children
make, them together. The children
who are old enough, that is. Once
in a while they have a family coun
cil and talk things over and decide
what to do about everything. Some
of the best suggestions come from
the children.
Make Their Own Rules.
When boys and girls make the
household rules themselves, it's not
a great hardship to keep them. And
they're simple rules, anyway.
Then, finally, these parents seri
ously take their children into their
confidence, and I assure you . that
this is a magical thing to' do.
Do you remember how, in your
own childhood, father and mother
were jealqus custodians of all ;'ie
family secrets? and how you felt
that pretty nearly everything that
was interesting was kept from you,
as a matter of course?
Do you remember the blank cur
tain that your elders used to let fall
over their faces when you entered
the room, and the whispering that
went on behind these curtains, and
they used to spell to each other
aloud?
So that if a little sister was com
ing or lather had lost his position
and was hard up these were mat
ters that they took any amount .of
time and trouble to keep from you,
and that you had to ferret out for
yourself and then act as if you were
as ignorant as they supposed you
to be?
And you see now, of course, that
that wasn't the most reasonable way
of conducting a home.
Of course, most children now-a-days
aFf told when little brothers
and sisters are on the way. It saves
unnecessary mystery; it gives them
the pleasure and excitement of an
ticipation, and it leads them to be
more tender and considerate of
mother than they might be other
wise, But why not tell them such othei
things as they are able to under
stand ? If, for instance, Cousin Mar
garet is lonely and you think you
ought to ask her to come live with
you, ask the children to talk this
over and cast their vote.
Let the Children Vote.
Then why not tell them frankly
what the family financial status is?
Let them know if you are hard up.
If you can either have a servant all
the year, or else go to the country
in the summer, get the children t
help you decide which is most im
portant.
You see, children have usually
ever so much more understanding
than their parents give them credit
for. So, if they are forced to pre
tend they are babies while they are
in the house, it's not surprising if
they turn their intelligence to mis
chievous ends when they get out
side. We have all heard parents won
der what they can do to keep their
fast growing boys and girls content
edly at home.

home as well as yours. If thev r
