Dawn Club Party
Mrs. W.P. Morris and Mrs. Henderson Martin entertained the Dawn Club Wednesday afternoon with a most enjoyable party at Mrs. Morris' home.
The key-note of the occasion was fun. If any one had a serious thought they left it at home. One lady borrowed her boy's marbles and brought them along. She gave a practical demonstration of the truth which many mothers strive to impress on their boys, that you do not have to play "keeps" to have fun. Each lady brought a gift for some friends there. It was something which she had never succeeded in either selling or giving away. The gifts were both "useful and ornamental." Among the most cherished were the following: A hair switch and slightly worn hair brush, a last year's bird nest, a night cap and a silk hat, a hat box which served the orchestra as a drum, and two tooth brushes which were used as drum sticks, a wooden whistle, a comb covered with tissue paper, which articles completed the orchestra. Popular and patriotic airs were rendered by this orchestra and the ladies often joined in the chorus.
Most of the ladies brought their fancy work but one practical housewife brought her darning.
The ladies of the club, in their regular meetings, keep themselves so closely at work that they made Wednesday afternoon's party as informal as possible as an innovation in their usual routine.
Refreshments were served in pink and green, the club colors, and the favors were pink carnations.
It was quite unnecessary for the ladies to tell their hostesses that they enjoyed the afternoon. That was a self-evident fact.
Those present besides the club members were Mesdames Carpenter, Hauser and Homer Hoch.

Concerning the Recipes
As announced last week, we have begun the publication of a number of cooking recipes — furnished by ladies right here at home. Cut them out of the paper each week, and paste them in a book.
We will be glad to have any of the RECORD'S Marion county lady readers send us one or more of the recipes which they have found from experience to be especially good. If we can't publish them in the next issue after they are received, will do so as soon as possible. Don't forget to sign your name.

Place in another dish, the milk, adding the powdered crackers and let it come to a boil. When ready to serve, pour contents of both dishes in the soup tureen and take to the table.
