second best in the United States.
to note the progress made Bt the
plant. 1 am not sure that 1 will wait
a year to return, for I like the drift
of things here."
As to the packing plant, Mr. Morris
said:
'•Practically all bulding material for
the plant has been purchased and will
be shipped to the grounds as rapidly
as it can be placed together and the
packing plant will be in operation
within ten months and the number of
men who will be given employment
when the plant becomes operative will
depend altogether upon file number of
cattle, hogs and sheep we will be able
to secure for slaughtering. We will
employ Just so many men as will be
required to handle the supply from
the outset.
"The thing that worries me most Is
what will you do with all the em-
ployes of the plant who will soon be
damorin>g for homes? I understand
there are few houses lo rent in Okla-
homa City and .there Is not an avail-
able home in Industrial addition. In
a short time 500 or 000 workmen will
be on the job and must have living
quarters. It puzzles me lo know
where they are going to live."

Sunday Night Supper3.
A supper on Sunday evening should j
be a light one, as it follows the late
heavy dinner. If the night is cool, a
bowl of cream soup or an oyster stew
Is always acceptable, then a sand- [
wich and salad with a cup of tea or j
cocoa, or instead of the salad a dish
of preserves makes a meal sufficiently
hearty for the average person.
A bowl of freshly popped corn and ;
milk makes a supper very satisfying j
to many.
A chafing dish supper Is an ideal
one for Sunday nights, as one never i
tires of seeing things done, and help- !
ing in the preparation. There are j
many dainty, digestible and appetizing
dishes that one may prepare in the :
chafing dish. Creamed eggs served on
toast are one of these. Fried oysters, j
or if one cares to risjt the lobster a
la Neuburg, and spend the night sit- j
ting up with it and a hot water bag. j
Milk toast and a cup of hot well- |
made tea lias a heartening quality for j
a light meal, and there are any num- J
ber of sandwiches which are good,
two favorites which will follow:
Onion Sandwiches.
Chop a mild onion, add salt, red pep- |
per and a dash of mustard, spread on j
buttered bread and serve very cold, j
If one likes onions, these sandwiches
are prime.
Spanish Sandwiches.
Cream a oako of cream cheese with
a wooden spoon until soft, adding a j
little cream. Season with salt, pep- I
per and one lanall chopped onion. Cut
sandwich bread in thin slices, butter
both sides and spread with the mix-
ture and put together, making four or
live layers. The top and bottom lay- |
ors are buttered on one side only.
Wrap In a damp cloth and press un-
der a weight. Serve cut in thin slices. |
Celery Salad.
"Cut tender celery into fine shreds
when well dried, mix with mayon-
naise and decorate with hard cooked
eggs cut into eights lengthwise, and
the white celery leaves. Chill and
send to the table.

OUR SUCCESSI
For the Past Five Years

w i.<> nad no strength for the strife.
The world's highway Is cumbered to-day;
They make up the item of life.
"But Die virtue that conquers passion.
And tho sorrow that hides in a smile-
It Is these that are worth the homage of

Some Timely Hints Which May Be
Valuable.
For autumn dinners or luncheons
there are many beautiful centerpieces,
favors and place cards that may be
made at home with little expense.
If one wanted to give a little din-
ner with a shower for a bride-to-be. it
unique and pleasing decoration for th*
table is a large ripe pumpkin, hollowed
out. the shape of a basket, and lined
well with paper, and the gifts placed i
inside, each with a small ribbon by
which it may be removed. Autumn
leaves, vines, grapes and apples may
surround the centerpiece, to add to
its attractiveness. Place cards with
Japanese lanterns, brownies or au-
tumn fruits may be easily painted by
one, with a little of the artistic gift.
The favors may be anything that ap-
peals to Ihe taste. Small pumpkin
Jack o'Lanterns lighted by candles,
are especially appropriate.
For a candle light supper, fill a
large glass punchbowl with water and
then pour over it a small quantity of
olive oil, place it in the center of the
table and on it float 15 or 20 tiny ta-
pers.
A yellow straw basket with corn col-
ored ribbons, may be made a beauty
I and a joy forever, by filling it with au-
tumn leaves, plums, grapes, pears and
apples, as a center piece. Candle
shades with autumn tinted leaves
done in cut work and lined with the
colored tissue, are beautiful in their
soft tints, when lighted.
A daintier or more fairylike candle-
holder can not be imagined than one
made of a calla lily with the center or
pistil removed and a yellow candle
placed in its place.
Oyster Omelet.
