All the rest began, they know not when, and grew into power, they know not how. If there had been no Independence Day, Eng- land and America combined would not be so great as each actually is. There is no "Republican," no "Democrat," on the Fourth of July — all are Americans. All feel that their country Is greater than party. — James G. Blaine. Let it not be forgotten that patriotism is one of the positive lessons to be taught In every home. Everything learned should be flavored with a genuine love of country. Every glorious fact in the nation's history should be emphasized. Every person should feel that he is entitled to a share, not only in the blessings conferred by his government, but also in the rich memories and glorious achieve- ments of his country. — Richard Edwards. [Directions for the decoration of a dining-room on the Fourth of July are almost superfluous. Only flags, banners, bunting and flowers, representing the colors of the country are required to make It delightfully attractive.] BREAKFAST Red Raspberries and cream Fried Chicken Sliced Tomatoes Creamed New Potatoes Wheat Muffins Coffee DINNER Bouillon Roast Lamb, mint "sauce New Potatoes, boiled Green Peas Spinach, with eggs Cucumber Salad Red, White and Blue Ice Cream Chocolate Macaroons Strawberries Coffee. 30 SUPPER Chicken Mold Radishes Water-cress Salad Sally Lum White Sponge Cake Blackberries Tea vO*' •^ While the dictionary definition of Halloween Is rather different than thf modern small boy's interpretation of it would indicate, yet we say with all earaeei ness, give the boys a good time occasionally, and why not on Halloween? "Wi' metry songs, and friendly crack, I wat they did na weary ; And unco tales, an' funnie jokes, Their sports were cheap and cheary. — ''Bobbie" Burns. Boys will be far less apt to carry off the clothes-posts, unhinge the gates, and make night hideous, if you give them a party in keeping with the occasion — a party wnere tin horns form the first course at the dinner-table — where colored paper napkins, folded to represent the "jack-be-nimble" and "jack-be-quicks," "toads," "monkeys," and "parrots"; where paper caps adorn the head and where jack-lanterns adorn the room. Such an evening makes glad even the heart of Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben. And so, why not the boys?

Decorate the table with autumn leaves. Corn, husked and tied together, is most effective, suspended here and there from the walls and between the doors, As Thanksgiving is the one day of the year when all America gives praise for pros- perity and freedom, an unusually well-filled board is not only in good taste, but is expected.
