How a Hallowe’en Play Resulted

“Our Hallowe’en cabbage play," explained Trixie to her friend Paula, 5 “la intended to reunite two fond hearts. You will be doubly interested because you were somewhat to blame tor the falling out of Jack and Laura.” “Oh. Jack Is the nice boy whom Laura Introduced to me as Be-rastus Brown! But what have Ito do with their unfortunate estrangement," as the newspapers say?” “It’s mostly on account of Jack’s name—with a little jealousy added,” explained Trixie. “For some strange reason, which Jack Joesn’t think at all reasonable, his parents DID name him Erastus —after some ftmny old uncle, I believe. Of course, Jack hates the name; he never signs -himself anything but ‘E. Brown.’ and all of us call him ‘Jack.’ Now, when Jack first saw you it was at the Lorimers’ lawn party, if you remember —he was very much impressed, though I can’t imagine why.” “Never mind about that,” interrupted Paula, with mock indignation. “Go on with the story.” “Just as I was saying,” continued Trixie, "he was impressed by you, curiously enough. And he didn’t have any more tact than to sound your praises to his very especial friend, Laura. That is why, when he demanded an introduction, she, with malice aforethought (how’s that for legal terms?)introduced him as Eerastus. Jack couldn’t quite forgive her for that—didn’t see that she had any provocation for it, and so on — and they haven’t spoken since. Everybody knows that you’re trying your best at Longport to capture Philip Dunn, and that it isn’t right for you to be interested In Jack. Now you know why the, fond and loving hearts must be united.” "What if I didn’t want them x .ted?” mischievously questioned

Paula. Then she laughed ant said: “Unite ’em, by all means.” Jack and Laura were still “not speaking” when they arrived at Trixie’s Hallowe’en party, but there were present such a large number of girls and boys that they had no difficulty In avoiding each other. Indeed, their hostess had planned so many funny tricks, based upon Hallowe’en superstitions, that any coldness between Jack and Laura' was hardly noticeable. Then there was “bobbing" for apples in a tub and dodging for apples which were swung from the ceiling. One way of “bobbing,” suggested by Trixie, was to have contestants kneel upon chairs placed with the back to the tub. Each player dropped a fork, first held in the mouth, and the fork which stuck In the apple gained its owner the prize. Two hazel nuts —one for Joe Cardigan and the other for Elsie Jamison were placed by the fire. They hopped away together, whereupon the embarrassed couple were much congratulated. Grains of popcorn and apple pips were used In the same way for other girls and boys. “Let me bllndfold you, Mary,” said Ttlxie to Mary Stuart. “Now I’m going to lead you toward the table yonder, whera are three glasses. If you put your finger Into one that holds clear water you will be happily married. If you dip into the one that contains muddy water your wedded life will not be happy, put your finger in the one that isempty, and you’ll surely die an old maid.”

“Not If I can help It!” piped Tommy Walford, amid great applause. Waen Mary had timidly pot her finger into the glass containing clear water, and the spectators had given enthusiastic approval, Trixie announced the cabbage play. The boys and girls were blindfolded. Then Trixie marched them (or “stumbled” them, rather) out to the garden, where she directed each person to pluck a cabbage stalk. They returned to the house with their stalks. IX a stalk tasted sweet, the owner's marriage would be happy; If bitter, it would be the contrary. A straight or crooked stalk was prophetic of the size and shape of the person to be taken in marriage. “Now I shall tack the stalks above the lintel of the door. The Christian name of the first person who enters wilibe the Christian name of the person who will be married to the person whose stalk I tack up first, and so an."

“Whew, what a Chinese pussiet” (aspect Roy Norton. “For Instance,” explained Trixie, somewhat more dearly, aa she tackad Laura’s cabbage stalk above the door, “the person whom Laura marries wIB bear the Christian name of the masculine person who first oxters this door. Now I tack up George’s •talk, and the first feminine person who enters will bear the Christian name oX George’s flancee-soon-to-be.” Trixie fastened no more stalks, •or jnst then appeared ok) Brestas, the gardener, carrying in his arm a Mg basket of nuts which Trixie bed slyly instruced him to bring at tUe ttme. / “And so Laura will marry Brestas,” solemnly announced the hostess. All-looked at Jack. He could not help laughing. Laura smiled sweetly, the others roared. “You've united 'em,” whispered Panls to Trixie. And she had. — -New lock Press.

Apricot Plum Marmalade

> -'>Waßh three pounds of apricots with boiling water and slip off the skins. Put to cook with one pint of water, cook to a pulp, and strain through a colander. Add one pound of pineapple; the raw grated pineapple may be used or the canned. In the latter case chop fine and add also the Juloe from the can. * Cook 20 minutes. Add to this amount of pulp two pounds of sugar and two tablespoonfuls of finely chopped blanched apricot kernels. Cook 16 minutes more and pour Into glasses. When cold cover with paraffin.

Canning Hints

In the operation of canning and preserving, as In almost every other function of housekeeping, the “getting ready”* is the most important thing and begins far in advanoe of the actual canning day. Some notes made last season will give knowledge as to when fruits and vegetables are to be expected, so # that time and provision may be made for them. As the various cans and glasses have been emptied, if they have been washed and covers carefully fitted before putting away, much annoyance and expense will be spared. If the appetites of the family have been observed it will not be advisable to put up much of the unpopular varieties. Kettles —which have never been ÜBed for any other purpose than preserving—spoons, forks, knives, skimmers, dippers, funnels, jelly bags, fruit press, strainers, scales, measures are all necessary implements (others will be individually required) and should be in a state of perfect order and cleanliness. Have enough suitable jars, cans, glasses, et cetera with rubbers, tops and covers at band; plenty of paraffin, tables, cloths for wiping and handling utensilß, and the labors of the preserving season will not plunge you Into nervous prostration. Procure the best fruitß and vegetables, each at the,crest of its season. Prices are lowest then and there is less waste. Overripe fruits never make good preserves or jellies. A wise cook never tries a strange recipe If she has one which she has tested and found satisfactory. Tastes differ an dan untried recipe may prove disastrous. Use granulated sugar for all preserves, jellies, and jams; light brown sugar for spiced fruits. Heat the sugar for Jellies in the oven before adding to the fruit® juice. Do not cover while cooking unless you want trouble. Have receptacles standing in hot water when the hot mixtures are put Into them. Seal perfectly. Leave standing where you can observe them for a few days.

Hand Embroidery

Everybody embroiders a lingerie waist this time of year, or gets somebody else to do it for her. If it Is a kimono blouse that one is making, then the cross-stitching or French knot design or solid embroidery goes around over the shoulder to the back of the waist without a break, and perhaps branches down into the sleeves as well, for the watat is seamless over the shoulders. But if one has embroidered a front only, then one can make one’s blouse with deep Gibson tucks over the shoulders and sewedln sleeves. The Gibson tucks hide the armhole seam, and a new elbow sleeve they are using with them is plain at the top and rather wide at the bottom, so that one does get precisely the effect of a kimono blouse.

LIVER AIND BACON.—Have the liver out in thin slices, cover with boiling water for a moment or two, then ‘drain and dry. Cover the bottom of the pan with thin slices of bacon and set at the side of the fire where the fat will slowly fry out, pouring It off once or twice, then draw the pan forward until the bacon Is very lightly colored. Transfer it to a hot dish and keep warm. Dust each slice of liver with salt, pepper and flour, put the pan over the hotter part of the fire and quickly cook the meat; the slices should be done through but not hard. Place them in the dish, arrange the bacon round them and serve. If a gravy Is desired sift into the hot pan sufficient dry floqr to abeord the fat, stir until brown and add gradually sufficient boiling water to make a moderately thick gravy. Season, voll for a moment and pour round the liver.

FOR SPEEDING.

Obituary of George D. Mustard.

George D. Mustards child of a family of four children, born to James and Sarapta Mustard, was born in Fayette county, Penn., Aug. 9th, 1830; died at th« home of his daughter, Mrs. Sylvester Gray, in Rensselaer, Ind., Sept. 5, 1913, aged 83 years and 26 days. He was the last survivor in his father’s family and making the third death in Mr. and Mrs: Gray’s home in the last seventeen months. Mr. Mustard resided in Pennsylvania until after his marriage to Miss Elizabeth Frost, which took place at Carmichael, Penn., June 8, 1852, living together for almost 61 years. To this union six children were born, three now living, John Wesley, of Goodland, Ind.; Mrs. Sylvester Gray, of Rensselaer, Ind., and Charles, of St. Anne, 111. The family came to Indiana in January, 1889, settling near Goodland, Tnd. After residing on the farm some years, Mr. and Mrs. Mustard moved to Goodland, living there for a num ber of years, when the failing health of Mr. Mustard caused them to remove to Rensselaer, that they be cared for by their daughter, Mrs. Sylvester Gray. After residing in their own home for some years they gave up housekeeping and for the last five years have lived with their daughter, Mrs. Gray. His wife preceded him some four months. Since that time Mr. Mustard has been lonebr add he has silently grieved muclr for his companion of over sixty years of happy life together. These last days have been lived In longing desire to go and be with the companion of his life, and his Savior whom he devoutly served for over 60 years. Having united with the Methodist church about a year after their marriage, he lived his church and was very faithful in his attendance upon the appointed means of grace. He loved the word of God and was a constant reader of his Bible and a devoted student of the sanie. As a citizen he was upright and patriotic and was admired by his many friends. In his last days he was lovlngjy cared for by his children, and many friends who helped cheer him on In the battle of life. His faith never failed him and to the last he bore testimony to the preciousness of the word of God by quoting many precious promises. One that he quoted so often was; “The Spirit and the bride say. come. And let him that hearest say, come. And let him that to <* %
