The surprise took the form of a Congregational Social. Games and contests occupied the first part of the evening. Just before the tea hour, two tiny maidens dressed to represent roses, drew in a beautifully rose decorated waggon, which was bountifully filled with gifts, testifying to the esteem in which Miss Tabor is held by her friends. A sumptu- out tea prepared by the Ladies of the Church and served by the Young Girls Club was enjoyed by all. The guests included Mr. and Mrs. P. Webb, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Ford, Mr. and Mrs. P.

Whimsical Review She: "You brute, you broke my heart." He: "Thank goodness! I thought it was a rib." Tough on Pn The fond mother was showing the baby to the visitor. "Isn't baby the image of his father?" "Absolutely," replied the visitor. "Same lack of expression, same red nose, no teeth to speak of, and, by George! prematurely bald, too!" Poet--Daphne, be mine! Marry me you are the well from which I draw all my inspiration. Daphne--No, Reginald; but I don't mind being a cistern to you! An insurance agent, upon arriving a t a country home saw a little boy in front of the place and asked if his father was around. The little boy said: "Yeah, he's here, he's out in the pig pen, you'll know dad cause he's got a hat on." Can you stand on your head? asked a patronizing visitor of the youngest boy of the family. No, was the reply. It's too high up. A man rushed into a tobacco store. "This cigar you sold me," he said, "it's--it's simply frightful." "Well, you needn't complain," said the tobacconist. "You've only got one. I 've got thousands of them." "So sorry to hear of your mot­ oring accident." "Oh, thanks, it's nothing! Ex­ pect to live through many more." "Oh, I hope not!" Ted: "Have you a good situation?" Ned: "I t's hardly a situation; more like a predicament." "I want the wages of a man; that's' all I am asking," said the "Votes for Women" orator. "Then," said a man as he a- rose to speak, "I contend it is'nt a vote that the lady wants. All she has to do is to get married." "I proposed to Ella, and she laughed at me!" "Oh, she laughs a t the most stupid things." How long have you been work­ ing for the Swivel Company ?" "Ever since old Swivel threat­ ened to discharge me." "My niece is quite theatrical," re­ marked old Mrs. Blunderby. "Next week she is taking part in a Shakes­ peare play a t college." "Which of his plays is it? " her caller asked. "Edith mentioned the name of it, but I'm not sure whether it's 'If You Like It That Way' or 'Nothing Much Doing'." "What steps would you take if you saw a dangerous lion ?" "Long ones." Father: "Now that you have finish­ ed college, my boy, hadn't you better be looking out for a job?" Young Man: "Not on your life, old thing. Let the beggars scramble for me." Voice Over Telephone: "John, come home right away. I've mixed the plugs in some way, the radio is all covered with frost and the electric ice box is sing­ ing "Schultz Is Back Again!" A RAZORBACK "Rastus, you-all am de most narrow­ minded pusson Ah know." "Say, bo, if yo' was a little more narrow-minded yo' ears would be on the wrong side of yo' haid." "I heard a new one the other day. I wonder if I told it to you." "Is it funny?" "Yes." "Then you haven't." MAKING ROOM FOR MORE Driver (in tho wee hours of the a. m.): "This cab won't hold any more; there's six of you in there already."

Cut a hole in top, take out seeds and pulp, put pulp in a saucepan, sprinkle inside of tomatoes with salt; cut up one-half tablespoon onion fine, half cup bread crumbs. Add to tomato pulp, salt and pepper to taste; boil five minutes, break in an egg, beat, boil one minute more, put this mixture in tomato shells, put a few crumbs on top and a small piece butter. Cook in a hot oven till soft, about ten min­ utes. Chocolate Cake Two-thirds cup butter, one and a half cups sugar, three eggs, one cup milk, two and one-half cups flour, one quarter teaspoon salt, three teaspoons baking powder, one teaspoon vanilla ex­ tract, three ounces chocolate. Cream butter thoroughly; add sugar, a little at a time. Separ­ ate eggs, beat yolks until thick. Add to creamed butter and sugar mix thoroughly. Add milk and the flour which has ben sifted with baking powder and salt, al­ ternately, a little at a time. Add vanilla and melted chocolate. Fold in stiffly beaten egg white. Put into three greased and flour­ ed cake tins and bake twenty-five to thirty minutes in moderate oven. Candied Citron-Melon Peel The commercial product known as candied citron peel is made from the citron fruit grown in Europe, and not from the citron melon. A very good substitute, however, may be produced from the citron melon rind by the fol­ lowing method. Divide the rinds into quarters, remove some of the pith, and lay in salt and water for three days, then boil in cold fresh water and simmer till they feel tender on the inser­ tion of a pin. Drain off the water and cover the rinds with syrup made in the proportion of half a pint of cane cugar to a pint of water; boil them in this for half an hour. Again strain and cover with a syrup of double strength, allowing them to boil down slowly in this till the sugar candies. It only remains now to drain the peels and dry them in a cool oven on oiled dishes. Mock Caramel Pudding Put one pint of milk on to heat. In a separate dish mix dry, one cup brown sugar, two rounded tablespoons flour, one teaspoon salt. Stir in to the milk when it comes to a scald and let cook a minute or so. Add small lump of butter. One tea­ spoon flavoring (vanilla, nutmeg almond or lemon). This is also GARDENING by Old Country Gard­ ener with Canadian experience. Rock, gardening special. By day or contract. Terms moderate. P.

It may be served with whipped cream, or apple jelly, etc., or alone, cold. The above amounts make four good sized helpings. By adding yolk of one egg to above remov­ ing from stove, and using the white for meringue, it makes an inexpensive pie filling. Never plunge a saucepan in which potatoes have been cook­ ed into hot water. If it is first soaked in cold water, rinsed out, and then washed in the usual way, you will have no difficulty in removing the starchy parti­ cles that adhere to the sides.
