Sho died as she lived, with a smile on hfifllt and a word of cheery comfort fertier loved ones as she assured tiierfat'lMsr happiness in being "called to her fUavenly home. Mildred Welch, daughter of William J. Welch, was born at McHenry on July 16, 1900, where most of her short lifetime was spent. She graduated from the McHenry high school with the class of 1919 and later attended Beloit College, Ohio University, and graduated fir Columbia Shool of Music. After completing her education a* taught in the McHenry grade seh< for several years, having charge f the music for the school and teaching the fifth and sixth grades. On May 5, 1928, she was united in marriage to George Donavin and following the death of her mother she became the home maker and did much towards brightening the long hours of sadness and sorrow in her endeavor to keep the home cheery and comfortable. To her loved ones her character will remain a living memory of loving kindness, companionship and cheerful service and her many friends will treasure the thought of her friendly smile and happy words of greeting. Like a beautiful rose her life unfolded into the fullness of rich, young womanhood when in all its glory it was plucked to bloom forever in God's Garden above, untouched by the worries and trials of this life. Mrs. Donavin was a member of St. Pa^ick's church of this city, where site had been a faithful member of the choir for the past several years and she also belonged to the Altar and Rosary sodality of the church and to Joyce Kilmer Court, Catholic Daughters of America. , She is survived by her father, Wil liam J. Welch, her husband, George J. Donavin, and five sisters, Mrs. Claience Martin of McHenry, Mrs. William Dewey of Newark, New Jersey, Mrs. G. L. Robison of Woodstock, Mrs. : A. I. Froehlich of McHenry and Helen Welch of Chicago. Funeral services were held at St. Patrick's church at 10:30 o'clock Friday morning, January 16, with Father William O'Rourke'and Father P. H. Masterson officiating. In his sermon her pastor, Father CRourke, paid tribute to the good life she had lived and spoke words of counsel and admonition to his listeners, saying that life is a gift sent to W from God which we should strive to return to Him with no stain upon it She was carried to her final resting place In St. Patrick's cemetery by Earl Walsh, Albert Barbian, Edward Bus?, George Kane, John Bolger and Hemy Miller, where the myriads of beauti-. ful flowers gave token of the love and esteeem in which she was held by her many friends. Among .those from out of town who attended thf^Gneral were, Mrs. Jnlia f!la.rVOhio; Edna Foley and fary Foley, N. Olmstead, Ohio; r. and Mrs. A. P.

FOOD SUGGESTION* r A ftrolt cocktail Is liked by such a large majority of people that they are m o s t c o m m o n l y served as a beginner for a luncheon or dinner. Fresh fruit is always-the favorite, but now that canned grapefruit is available in almost any market, It with other canned fruits makes a most tasty cocktail. A canned pear, peach, a bit of pineapple with some of the fruit juice will make a most delectable cocktail. Sometimes the addition of a fresh orange will add to the flavor, with a cherry or two for color. When something different Is wanted for a vegetable try: * Celery au Gratln.---Cttt the celery Into small bits and cook in boiling salted water until tender but not too soft. Drain and place in a baking dish with a rich white sauce, a layer of each and top with the celery, covered with a half-inch top of buttered crumbs. Bake in a hot oven until the crumbs are brown. Add grated cheese for a more nourishing dish, which, if a cupful of cheese is used, will do tor a main dish at luncheon. One of these chill days serve fried salt pork with cream gravy, baked potatoes and onions and apples cooked together in a small amount of sweet fat. If the apples are very tart add a little sugar which will also add to the flavor and color. Cook theonlons until about half done before adding the apples ^sliced. Serve as a vegetable.. The daily serving of lettuce, green vegetables such as cabbage, endive or cooked spinach or chard !s most important for the health of the family._ Dress the lettuce simply with hot bacon fat and a dash of vinegar or lemon juice, or melted butter, hot, if bacon is not liked. Then the old-fashioned way of serving lettuce with just sugar and vinegar is oiie Of which few ever tiret " Of Unknown Origin Bachelor is a word of uncertain origin. It is btflieved to be connected with the Latin baccalarlus, meaning a holder of a small farm. The word seems to have been used at first as a technical law term, and is sometimes explained as# a translation of the equivalent old high Gecjnan hagustalt, meaning the holder of a amall farm, aa wwuarrled man. Instead of Worms Ah angler, declares the office philosopher, is just a fisherman putting on otar"-Altoona Mirror. » ^ Card of Thanks We desire in this manner to express our appreciation aad to thank neighbors and friends for their expressions of sympathy, acts of kindness and for the beautiful floral offerings rendered us during our recent bereavement, also those who donated the use of cars.

ELECTRIC HEATING PADS Guaranteed For Litetiaie .39 •pedal Friday if Saturday Bolger's Drug Store All a person need do to get a liberal education in "rackets" is to walk tip and down such New York streets as Broadway and Sixth, Seventh and Eighth avenues. Somewhere between Thirty-fourth street and Fifty-ninth, you will find most of them. Almost all carry the air 0/ legitimate business. • e • V "»&£'• There are, for example, the "moving sales," and the auctions. The goods in these cheap auction places are often as announced, but the customers do not buy them cheap. Then there are the sidewalk peddlers, although they usually are around the corner on the "side streets. There was one who did business in "a watch, guaranteed to keep going as long as you carried It" That Is Just about what it did. It kept going as long as you kept walking. It was a toy watch. - e • e One frequent stunt Is to hire a vacant store for a week and put on what Is really an old-fashioned medicine show. In these places the flag always Is an Important decoration. Lectures are delivered on the subject of building up the health of the country. Then health books are sold. • • • One of the best park views in New York Is from the office of Charles A. Stoneham, owner of the Giants. The office Is situated high above the center-field gate, with windows fronting on the ball field. Below it stretches the green carpet, carefully smoothed and tended by the ground-keeper, and the heights of Coogan's Bluff rise behind the seemingly distant grandstand. It Is a great situation; especially when there is a football game in progress and snow la the air. But into each life some rain must fall; they «ay the roof leaks. e » e Delia J. Akeley recently. receive*] a letter from the king of northern Uganda. There is nothing remarkable In this, as Mrs. Akeley h on friendly terms with many Afric.ni rulers. The remarkable thing is that the letter was wrijtten on a typewriter. • e e The record for continuous playing on Broadway is held, as .far as I know, by James C. Lane. In the past dozen years, he has played Broadway about fi,600 performances. Lane started with John Golden in "Turn to the Right." After that he played four years In "Lightnin'" and has played in almost all Golden shows since. He never has failed to make good in a part. John Golden claims that, given a character part, Lane becomes the character. He played a bartender and • every time you saw him, you smelt liquor. His last part is that of a doctor and he no sooner comes on the stage than the audience gets a faint odor of iodoform. When Lane Isn't acting, he works around the Golden offices. The first time, years ago, that Golden found Lane fixing up his desk and straightening things In his private office, he asked him what he was doing. "Oh," said Lane, "I Inst like to put things in order." ! '.'How much do you want to do ^ Job?" inquired Golden. s "Nothing," said Lane. . "You're hired," said Golden. And Lane has been keeping things.. In order ever since. Golden says ho plays that part so well that While lie is working around the office he smells of Ink. He is a good a.CtQr, in any character. • -e .' William P. <5ferey, president•of-Mjyi'l ison Square Garden, has, like tha rest of us, his peculiarities. Arapng other things we might mention, he never carries any money in his pocket. There really is no reason he should. He generally travels around in hi* own car and bis ciysdlt is r~^d everywhere, except In the subway and pay telephone booths. For these emergencies I have know him to borrow a nickel. e • e Living near Central park, Carey has a habit of walking through it each morning and having his car meet him at a lower entrance. Then he is driven to his office. The other morning, on his usual waiter he noticed sitting on a bench, one whom he described as the most mournful looking little colored girl he ever saw. So Impressed was he by her woebegone appearance that he turned back, went through his pockets and handed her 22 cents. "Thank you, mister," she said and then added, hopefully, "You couldnt make It half a dollar, could you?" Td like to," said Carey, "and I would; but, honest, that's every last cent I've got" The girl didn't know how lueky she was. She had struck William F. Carey in funds. <e mo.
