The senior class of South Bend high school gave a New Year's dance in the gymnasium last night at which 75 couples were present. Morris Goodman, who was chairmann of th entertainment committee, introduced several novel stunts during the course of the evening. The dance was made more enjoyable by the fact that it number of South Bend high school hoys were there who had seen overseas service. The hall was appropriately decorated for the occasion by a number of miniature drawings depicting old Father Time. Souvenir programs of an artistic style were given out, the idea of this nowlty originating with the committee in charge of the dance.

REVELATIONS OF A WIFE

WHAT HAPPENED WHEN MOTHER GRAHAM AND MADGE HAD EVERYTHING PREPARED FOR THE FEAST. "Richard, did you bring that rosewater with you?" Mother Graham fired the inquiry at Dicky before he had fairly gotten through the outer door. He gave the quick little start which experience has taught me means that he has forgotten the errand intrusted to him, and flashed a rueful look at me. "Gee! Mother, I forgot everything about it!" he said. "But what's the big idea of bringing it from the city? I'll bet you can get it out here, whatever it is, or what in the world you want it for."

Mother? Soul- more of that linner dope?" "The manner in which you couch your question does not deserve an answer, Richard," his mother returned severely, "but 1 will tell you once more something which you ought to know, that no other flavor but rosewater is permissible in mince meat." 'Glad to know it." said Dicky flippantly. 'I infer we are going to have some old-fashioned home-made mince pies for my birthday," "You are, my son." his mother returned, beaming, "and pumpkin pies as well." "That will be bully," Dicky rejoined enthusiastically, then mickly added loyally, "But they'll have to go some if they're better than the mince pie Madge made out of a can the first week we kept house. 'Member, Madge?" "You Have Sadly Changed?" "Did I remember? Would I ever forget the day I made that pie, when Dicky wrestled with a broken can opener, while 1 anxiously read and reread my mother's recipe for pie crust in her old cook book. Dicky had mischievously insisted upon my kidding him when I was preparing the pie, with the result that we were both liberally besprinkled with flour. But how I wished that he had chosen any other time for his reminiscences, for his mother had stiffened perceptibly at his words. 'Out of a can?" she said scornfully, 'To compare a pie made of stuff taken from a tin can with one made from mince meat such as I have prepared today! But I need not have expected anything else from you, Richard. You have sadly changed nowadays. Hut at least Elizabeth and William and the children will appreciate real mince pies." 1 did not miss the little pin prick concerning the change in Dicky since his marriage. It was a familiar one to me, for his mother always used it In one form or another when she was displeased with me.Mother Graham Is Disappointed. And of course I knew that secretly she Mill angrily resented my ultimatum that she gave no more orders to Katie concerning the household routine. Outwardly, however, she gave no hint that she ever had been a participant in the stormy scone when Katie swept her cake bowl and batter to the tloor and announced that she would leave "dls mlnnlt.' I was quite proud of my powers as a diplomat when I reviewed the way in which I had managed the belligerent opponents. Katie, remorseful and eager to atone for her tit of temper, had worked like a beaver all the week, while my mother-in-law, calmly majestic, had busied herself with her birthday dinner cookery. For we were in the midst of the preparations for the visit of Dicky's sister and her family. I had managed to satisfy Mother Graham's demands that a general house cleaning precede the holiday, and at the same time placate Katie's very natural resentment at fo much extra work, by At Wheelock's

engaging a strong colored woman for several days to work under Ka-

tie's direction. As a result every nook and corner of the old house was as spic and span as skillful hands and soap and water could make them. And packed away in big stone Jars were stores of cookies and doughnuts ready for the onslaught of four hungry' children. By playing the part of a scullery maid to my mother-in-law during her cooking operations I had accomplished three objects, kept her and Katie from clashing, grlven her the impression that I was tremendously impressed with her culinary skill. which in reality 1 was. and gained for myself the training in making the toothsome dainties, of which, to do my mother-in-law justice, she was a As the clock struck 3 a boy came up the path on a bicycle, bearing a special delivery letter addressed to my mother-in-law.
