HARMONY SCHOOL CLUB PLANS PICNIC IN JUNE Harmony, ay 31.--The Harmony Home and School club met last evening in regular session. the absence of the president and vice-president, the meeting was conducted by the past Honorary President, Miss F. E. Baker. The meeting opened with prayer. au reports were read and approved. The proceeds from the home cook- ing sale amounted to more than 20, while the proceeds from the play by Ebenezer were more than $37. It was reported that a ball and bat had been purchased for the girls. It was decided to hold the schoolp icnic on June 25 and committees were appointed for the booth, sports and refreshments. |/ The number of parents present from Miss Williamson's and Mr. Timmon's rooms was equal, which necessitated the prize being divid- ed. An entertaining program wus presented as follows: Piano duet, Misses Helen Hunking and Bea- trice Willson; recitation, Miss Gladys Oke; solo, Miss L. K. Me- Kay. Refreshments were served and the meeting closed with the singing of the National Anthem. Helpful Hints The sensible woman Will see that the heels on all her shoes are the same height. This will save one many an unpleasant hour of pains in the back of the legs or the arch of the feet. The cuban heel is really the sensible height and I would suggest that when you buy shoes that you make certain the arch of the shoe is not lower than the arch of the foot. Flat feet and fallen arches are uncomfort- able and spoil the appearance of shoes entirely. * The buttonholes which the tail- or makes are so much more profes- sional looking than the button- holes made at home. Here is the way they do it, and maybe ours would look as well if we followea their plan. The tailor makes the length of the buttonhole to be worked with beeswax which holds the cut threads together. Ordin- ary soap will do almost as well for heme work. * * * If you like a little stiffening in fine linens asd silks, dissolve two ounces of gum arabic in one pint of hot water. Use in the propor- tion of two tablespoons to two quarts of water. rs % 0» Canned pears seem like some- thing brand new if they are chilled and seryed with a teaspoonful of crystallized ginger finely chopped, sprinkled over each serving. Slic- ed banana with a few tablespoons tf either freshly stewed or can- ned cranberries make an unusual and delicious dessert, and shred- ded cocoanut over sliced orange 1» also very good. £ x 8 Keep the bread container scrup- ulously clean to prevent the bread from: moulding. Scald it fre- quently and set it is the sunshine to dry and air. Leaving scraps of bread in the box is a 'bad habit. These tend to absorb the moisture from the other bread. * % x To do over a room and make it look new with the change of the season is a good way fo make use of new asd gay materials for drap- eries, slip covers and light shades. The same pattern of erétonne or gingham may serve for all, giving harmony to the room It is not an expensive luxury to deck out your room thus for only one sea- son, as the material is not wasted. At the end of the season, you may transform it into comforter tops, aprons, dishtowels, or bags to protect dresses in the closet. * * * BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING One cup brown sugar, one cup sweet milk, yolks of two eggs, two tablespoons butter, one table- spoon flour, one tablespoon wat- er. Method: Scald the milk and pour it over the sugar, flour, but- ter, eggs and water. Beat well and cook slowly in double boiler.

The Women's Corner For Anything of Interest to Homemaker and Laz the Housekeeper Mith the picnic season upon us, the question of "how much' be- comes important. How many sandwiches, how big a cake, how much salad, how much lemonade and coffee, and so on--these quan- tities must be adequate but not lavish for left over picnic food of- ten means just so much awste. Outdoor appetites arc usually above normal, and for service "a la buffet' larger juantities may be needed. But if the cook calcu- lates on the basis of the needs of her own family, she can arrive at { a fair conclusion, The following calculations are estimated for the average occasion but may help in guaging the quantities needed for individual needs: One large cake ten inches in di- ameter will serve 16 persons. One pint of ewdwich filling will fill 24 sandwiches. One four-pound chicken yields about 3 cups of diced meat. One 2% pound lobster will yield when boiled enough meat for one quart of salad in combination with other material. One-half pound of coffee and four quarts of boiling water will make enough of the beverage to serve 15 people. One and one-half dozen lemons will make lemonade to serve 20 to 25 persons, depending largely on the size and juiciness of the fruit. One quart of a frozen miyture will serve 6 to 8 persons. When ice cream means the main part of the refreshments a larger serving is needed. These suggestions are made with a balanced picnic meal in mind, If baked beans, potato salad cold boiled ham, meat loaf, meat sandwiches, cheese sandwiches, pie, cake and cookies are all in evidence with lemonade, ice cream and watermelon for the "grand finale," the quantities needed of each viand should be very small indeed. Time Honored Conventions That Persist For Wedding Ceremony The "where, when and how" eti- quette of weddings now confronts June brides all over the country, writes Julia Blanchard. It took a man and a maid to reach the deci- sion to get married, Together they decided the apnroximate date. But the maid plays a lone hand from then on in making plans. Conven- tion lets her set the hour, choose formal or informal ceremony, plan the reception, breakfast or tea fol- lowing and whether the wedding takes place at church or home. Conventions help her out, how- ever, in making her decisions. There are rather strict rules of eti- quette for weddings which seem to have persisted, in spite of modern informality. When, for instance, are smart weddings held nowadays? Noon, 4 and 8 p. m.--smartest in the or- der given. Invitations are issued from a fortnight to three weeks before a formal ceermony and no reply is necessary to a church wedding but written or verbal invitations to home weddings and to all wedding breakfasts, receptions or high teas should be answered promptiy. Presents are not inevitable upon re- ceipt of an invitation but most folks send them. Announcements are sent out a few days after the ceremony and need not be sent to those Invitea to the wedding. No answers are necessary and no presents required. The stationery, script and wording of invitations and announcements is a personal matter, and good sta- tioners usually have experts to ad- vise on current styles, Acceptances to invitations should be written in much the wording of the invitation. Allotment of Expenses The bride's family bears the brunt of wedding expenses. They pay for the following: Her wed- ding gown, bridesmaid's gifts, of- ten their flowers and sometimes their frocks and hats. They pay, too, for the church decorations, the sexton's fee and music; for refresh- ments, decorations and entertain- ment afterward; for invitations, announcements, conveyances of guests and bridal party. The bridegroom buys the bride's bouquet and may buy the brides- maids', pays for the license, the clergyman, gifts and boutonnieres for ushers, gift for the ushers, girt for the bride and the honeymoon expenses. Fees for the clergymau may be anything from $5 to a small town church or home wedding to $25, $50, or even up to $1,000 in a millionaire's cathedral. A bride may have one sister or friend stand up with her or she may have a formal procession of a maid or matron of honor and eight bridesmaids, a ring bearer and flower girl. Ushers correspond in number. A bride may wear a mil- lion dollar white outfit with trai- ing lace veil at church, or she may be married in her silk ensemble and hat that she has bought for travelling, or in a simple summer frock. Noon and evening church weddings are formal. In church the bridegroom's family is seated in the front row on the right, the bride's on the left. 'The bride's family is the last to enter the church before the wed- ding procession begins, No one should be seated after they are in. At home the same general arrange- ment obtains. The bride enters on her father's, brother's, uncle's, guardian's, or even on her mother's right arm, the hlatter if she has no living male relative. Bridesmaids follow and the bridegroom and his attendants go to the altar from the side and meet the bride there, arriving slightly before she does. After the ceremony the bride and groom lead the procession out, the bridesmaids and ushers following. About the Presents The bride suits herself about showing her wedding presents. Some of the best families do it. ¥ne may exchange duplicate gifts; but should consult the donors, if she feels they might object. The immeidate bridal party of bride, bridegroom and attendants sit at the bride's table at big wed- ding feasts. She cuts the first slice of cake, shares it with the bride- groom and the waiters or guests cut the rest. Only the bridal party gets the bride's cake. Others get small souvenir boxes, at format weddings. At home weddings all guests sit at other tables or are served informally of the bride's cake, At a high noon wedding the wed- A blend of teas fresh 'Fresh from the gardens' ham and egg main dish, patties or any other luncheon menu, without salad. Four o'clock weddings may have sandwiches, salads, coffee and desserts or a hot courge. Evenings have somewhat the same as four o'clock ones, with more elaborate canapes, sandwiches, hot dishes and salads. Newlyweds, starting on their honeymoon, say "goodbye" to their parents, who sneak away froin guests for that purpose. Rice, old shoes and so on are still thrown to speed the departing couple, though it is considered decidedly bad taste, Gifts for Attendants Gifts of the ®ride and bride- groom to their attendants and the bridegroom's gift to his bride are optional. They should have some lasting value, though even small gifts. The groom's gift to his bride may be anything he wishes to give. "All of these are given before ihe ceremony. Stickpins, cuff links, gold pencils and pens, cigarette cases and lighters and articles of that type are excellent bridegroom gifts. Compacts, dressing table equip- ment, boudoir clocks, crystal vases or crystal dressing table bottles with monograms or any piece of jewelry make nice bridesmaids' gifts. If no "At Home" cards have been sent, and nowadays few cou- ples do send them, phone calls, notes or parties given by friends announce to the public that the newlyweds have returned from their honeymoon, 38 SIMCOE ding breakfast may have a de luxe LOCK'S Ladies' Wear MOVING TO LARGER PREMISES THE LATE E.
