Incidentally, this tour nas made in the winter and he had so few clothes that he was cold most of the time. He returned to Warsaw, determined to be a composer rather than a pianist, and in 1S7! was made professor in the Warsaw Conservatory. He married Hose Hassal, a Polish girl, and their short life together was one of privation and love.

If Padcrewski were not the astonishing pianist that he is his fame would be secure as a composer, for he is one of the few men now writing music who unite originality of thought with technical mastery. The pity Is that he has composed so little. Besides "Manru" he has written two important works for piano and orchestra, a number of works for piano and some

When guests arrive, instead of the usual tally card, each one is furnished with a small, daintily made wicker nest, hung with white and green baby ribbon, and into which tiny candy bird's eggs are dropped, to serve in place of punches. Tho winner is he who has the largest number of eggs at the close of the game. The prevailing colors are green and white, but all the spring flowers are utilized in the scheme of decoration. The luncheon table presents a glistening surface of snowy linen traced over with delicate airy plumose vines and edged with bunches of lilies. In the center rises a miniature mound of moss around which there is a circle of colored eggs; on top of the mound two brown rabbits are seen drawing a diminutive wagon load of egg bon-bons and driven by a pretty little rbick, in whose bill, green and white lines are held. Smaller but similar ornamental receptacles are distributed promiscuously over the board, containing such fancy viands as the hostess desires to serve as fruits, nuts, confections, etc., and other delicacies proper to a light luncheon. A fancy conceit for the ices is to serve a wee chick in a half shall, a rabbit in a candy nest, or an egg in a lily mold. A miniature cardboard church filled wi?h candy eggs stands in front of each cover, and represents ti., tnv,.c of bon bons which the guests take upon leaving the table. . .4 The following is the musical program which will be given at the Reid Memorial church today: Morning Service.

That bead bags keep in fashion is not to be wondered at since the flower dress-borders upon skirts as well as other skirt, trimmings in embossed rows give to the bead bag. In its softly blended variety of colors, its reason for hanging from the belt or being carried gracefully. Both bag and bead-trimmed skirts are revivals of old days. STYLISH SHOES. Shoes also show a great variety of choice and many of the new designs are made up with cloth and suede tops. As all the shades of brown still continue in vogue, many styles iu tan are seen for street wear. v HARMONIOUS COMBINATIONS. Violet goes well with the tan shades and one can wear brown and purple all tho spring and summer. Indeed, it is one of the economical devices of the season to plan two costumes, so that they are Interchangeable; and violet and brown are among the most harmonious of combinations. LACES GOOD TRIMMINGS. Filet and valencienues laces remain fixed trimmings for the coming season, and to be used upon almost everything. Novelties are introduced In the new designs and in the widths of the entredeux on bands.

Pure Maple We are the largest buyers 30 we are told of Vermont Maple Syrup. All our wheat is cooked in it before it is flaked. Our object is that incomparable flavor. To make MapI-FIake the most delicious as it is the most digestible of all cereal foods. Taste is of tremendous importance. With children for instance. The food that is best for them often needs to be forced on them. But they beg for Mapl-Flake. Was there ever a child who did not like maple sugar? The more Mapl-Flake a child eats the less it will eat of food not so good. Wheat is the perfect food. But wheat, in most forms, is only partly digestible. It consists largely of starch. And starch, to be digestible, must be made soluble. The particles must be separated so the digestive juices can get to them. That requires a process of 06 hours, and Mapl-Flake alone employs it. Our wheat is steam-cooked for six hours; then cured. Then flaked so thin that the full heat of our ovens gets to each atom. Then the flakes are toasted for 30 minutes in a heat of 400 degrees.

This process it expensive, but we kaow It to be essential. The result i, every granule of starch i separated. Every atom is made digestible. The food is all tood. That is why Mapl-FlaVe is the most comical food, though a package cos's 15 cents. The cream tosts no more than on 10-cent food, and cream is the main expecse. So please dn't go without the food that you hie best, thinking to save five cents. it' aii rod"
