Moran, sang and took part in the initiation procedure. Following the initiation, the daughters joined the Knights of Columbus in a banquet held in the school hall of St.

Margaret's church. Mrs. Mary Mervine, grand regent of the newly organized court, was in charge of the general arrangements. Household Hints TASTY SAUCES In making chicken a la king or other dishes that demand a tasty sauce, it is a good idea to finish the sauce, thoroughly seasoned, long enough before serving to let it steam through for a while. It has a much richer flavor than when served immediately.

CLEANING RUGS In pinning a rug or anything else that is heavy to a line, throw it over the line and pin the two sides together below the line, not to it. This prevents bulgings from the pins. STICKING CAKE be A cake loosened that sticks to the tin may by placing a tin over a bowl of boiling water or turning the cake upside down on the table and placing a rag dipped in hot water over the bottom of the pan. BLOOMER TAPE If you put a little loop of tape at the middle front of the waistbands of children's bloomers, gives you something to hang them up by and also shows little ones at a glance which is front and which back. FLOOR KNEELER An old hot water bottle, when filled with bran makes a splendid kneeling pad, when scrubbing or polishing floors.

HAT SACHETS I Every hat should be aired nightly and then freshened by having a little lavender sachet put inside its lining. Spraying with one's favorite perfume is another dainty way to keep it fresh. LASTING TULIPS If you melt a little bit of wax into the calix of tulips or lilies, it will prolong their life and freshness. PAINTING SCREENS Screens, window boxes, garden furniture and all other summery things should be painted freshly and put in perfect order before the first spring zephyr arrives. BIRTHS Mr.

and Mrs. John Miller, 617 N. Ninth announce the arrival of a baby boy, Roswell John Miller, at the Forest Street Lyingin hospital. Mrs. Miller was formerly Miss Mary Vollmar.

NEWCOMERS Mrs. Raphael A. Bendrick and son, Roy, two and a half years of age, and Joseph, who is four. The Bendricks have been residing in Schuylkill county during the past four years, but will now make their home in Reading. Mrs.

Bendrick was formerly Miss Alva M. Kutz. THE WOMAN'S DAY By ALLENE SUMNER swim the English channel, rapidly Gertrude Ederle, first female, to becoming stone deaf. She blames her channel swim. Here's a pretty sample of the law of compensation.

Here's wagering that deaf or not deaf, Trudy would prefer to be Gertrude Ederle with bum ears than just any unknown Trudy with two good aural orifices. Or would she? And how about any ordinary Trudy with two good ears? Would she change places with the deaf but famous Trudy? Yes, I imagine she would. Fame somehow seems more important than all the ordinary faculties. TEMPERAMENT When Mary Garden was told that a Texas editor said she'd better try paperhanging instead of singing because she was so old she tottered, she was reported, first, as saying that it was the funniest thing she ever heard of, but the next day when asked again to comment, she seemed a bit more riled and called the editor "a damned swine." Which explains why Mary is the great and famous lady she is. Only the bovine commonplace mortals react the same way twice in succession.

HOMELIEST WOMAN The picture of Mrs. Mary A. Bevan, famed as the homeliest woman in the world, who just arrived from England to fill her spring engagement with a circus, is infinitely more alluring to me than the picture of Florenz's best. The latter Alls any feminine breast with woe because she, too. was not born with the good fairy of beauty around her cradle.

Mrs. Bevan brings a mellow. glow as one reflects that, after all, one cannot equal her, at least. And yet her very homeliness has brought her fame. But here's wagering that, fame or no fame, money or no money, if Mrs.

Bevan could be reincarnated she would choose a comely face and no fame or fortune. Women can stand most anything except utter horror of countenance. DEBS. ARISE! New York debs seem all steamed up about the fact that men are getting scarcer and scarcer at their parties, and that the stag line at most any old party nowadays is about as brief as the lineup of husky males before a soda fountain. They explain that it's because men can't stand the late hours of the average party, with dinner beginning at 10 p.

dancing at midnight, and no prospect of the party breaking up till cold gray dawn. For most of the men invited to deb parties are plain working men, college boys trying to make their mark in the world, et al. So the Independent Group of Debutantes has been organized to Insist that parties begin early and break up late--at night-not early in the morning, 'S' FUNNY! And yet they're still talking about this wild and wasteful modern generation! In the days of the 400 there was no agitation about the evils of late parties because young men had to be to work on time the next morning. The young men weren't working -they were, living on papa! Perhaps, though, the truth compels us to comment that society was much more exclusive in those days, and that the greater number of girls than young men did not necessitate the inclusion of "poor working boys" in the invitation list if any men were present at all. Backache Disheartening exhausting.

Miss Dorothy M. Dundore and Miss Helen I. Marberger are directing the play. not quite so cobwebby as the $6 pair we got for Christmas, etc. What of the Future? Where is it all going to end? What is there ahead for the petulant, discontented Betty Lous when they are their mothers' age? Every theatre that is built, every movie house, every church, every art museum, every hotel, every restaurant, every library, every barbecue, every wayside hot dog stand, goes the last one "one better." Opulence and expense and color a and intricate architecture glass mosaic and panelings clutter this and that till one wonders what can be done next.

FLATTERY LINES Animated hem-lines are flattering to the legs and should be worn by every woman whose legs are not models of beauty. Even one wide pleat helps a little, a circular skirt is better, the pleated all-around skirt is best of all. This means more money for pressing. But it is worth it for those with legs too thin, tro fat or too muscular. The straight definite hem-line of a coat emphasizes the defects in leg contours.

An inch or two of soft lively skirt below the coat is better. Robert James, of Mt. Penn. Wesley, a Reading school WEDDING ANNOUNCED AT CARD PARTY Announcement of the wedding of Miss Kathryn E. DeLong of this city and Harold F.

Forgetful that to walk or ride third is the of continental working person's only way getting from one spot to another--oh, yes, the bicycle--we wail can't turn in last year's car for this year's new model. Is there such a thing as a nation having too high a standard of material comfort for the happiness of its own people? The kid cousin was over the other night enthusing over the sorority dance of the night before. No, she wasn't "enthusing" at all; that's just the trouble. She was bored and ennuied and blased and fatigued and just too utterly bothered for words by the fact that the dance was held in what she characterized as "the world's worst dump." Now we happened to know that the hotel wherein the dance was held has something of a reputation with its best orchestra, best decorator, best florist, best chef, and we tried to have Betty Lou analyze her reaction as to what was SO "awful" about the "dump." But Betty Lou couldn't. And we thought of Betty Lou's mother, her pretty permanent-waved, sweet-sixteen figure of a mother, who clings to the pose that nothing is quite right.

that the whole world is pretty much a bore, and that this business of being forced to partake of daily imperfection is just too awful for words. We Live High Betty Lou's mother and Betty Lou herself are natural products of an age and a world which gives too much. We talk a great deal about the American standard of living SO much relatively higher than in any other country in the world. But the fact never comes home to any of us. We go blithely on our way living lives which only the rich or at least very well-to-do can live in any other country.

Our "working girls" take their weekly trips to the beauty parlor, have their matinees and taxis and perfumes silken things and order suits and coats as a matter of course. We dance and dine in the best hotels, order our meals with no or little attention to the price column next the breast of chicken under glass or the squab on toast, and think that nobody ever goes afoot for any reason except that he or she must. But in spite of luxurious living that the Continental simply cannot imagine as the privilege of "the working we carp and carp and carp. Luxury of the most sybaritic sort, even if we can have it only occasionally and in small doses. gives us our standard with which we compare smaller houses and thinner-napped carpets and a cheaper cut of steak and silk hose Come MONDAY ONLY Longcloths Sale Muslins Fine This Sheetings 36 WIDE INCHES Yds.
