Interesting Tales Of Her Trip; Saw Toreador l, Contest. The pink houses of Toulouse. the narrow streets of Cologne. the cele- bration of the fall of the Bastille. end a toreedor contest in San 8e- Minn are outstanding memories in the mind of lilies Edna Taft of 16 i'lnvilond street. who has Just re- turned home from a summer vaca- tion in Europe.

Miss Taft was not at all im- 9 by the “grand old town." 0n the contrary. her first love in Ingland was the rolling country- side with its queer little towns. She was delighted with Oxford and en- joyed going through the University there. Lenmington next called the atten- tion of the party. from which point. excursions were made to the Shakes- peers country. including Stratford. Bhottery and then on to Warwick and Kenilworth Castle 11ml lbockul Leaving England. the party cross- ed over from Dover to Ostend by means of s. Belgian boat. a skiff which. in the high sea which was running. did not greatly impress the Americans with its worth. Once in Belgium. the first visit was made to Antwerp. and the party was properly touched by this little town of quaint picturesque houses with the atmosphere of "long long ego." Bore. Miss Taft attended mass in one of the cathedrals ' Brussels was the next stop on the tour. and the party found this city to be. in direct contrast to Antwerp. Brussels disappointed them because it seemed ”like any other spacious. well planned cosmopolitan city. not a bit native or typical of the coun- I! From Brussels a short trip was made to Cologne where the big point of interest was the cathedral. Miss ,Taft's party was fortunate in that ' the members were shown through all of the cathedral rooms, including the treasure room and tile Shrine of Magi. Cologne seems untouched by modernism. according to Miss Tait. It in of the “old world" spirit to the loot degree. Streets are little narrow alleys and at every twist and turn. one comes upon quaint Gothic build- ings which look as though they be. longed to the 6th or 6th centuries. The townohali or Rathaus is a su- “\ porb example of medieval art. Saw Castles After Cologne. the party went on it way to Bonn where the University and the house of Beethoven were visited.

TRY TO MAKE THE SCHOOL CHILD’S LUNCH DIFFERENT DAILY, URGES SISTER MARY 3! 8191113! MAR! The mother who must pack a lunch box every school day in the week often finds that pile must plan four meals a day in place of the us- ual three. The planning of the lunch-box menu is most essential. This meal must be a satisfactory supplement to the other two meals of the day and a sandwich and piece of pie wrapped up in a newspaper is not satisfactory from any point of view. Plan the lunch the day before. The busy time in the morning when every minute must count allows lit- tle time for “hunting up" something to put in the lunch-box. Next in importance to the food it- self is the packing of it in the box. Keep plenty of waxed paper. paper napkina tiny covered waxed card- board containers. smell paper baking cups and picnic spoons all in one drawer or cupboard close to the shelf or table where the lunch is packed. Wrap and pack neatly. putting the demert in first and the sandwiches last. If the cookie. fruit or custard is put in the box the lest thing the box must be unpacked in order to reach the sandwiches. Try to keep the lunch interesting for the child. And by doing this you will keep it interesting for yourself. too. A surprise of some sort tucked away in a corner of the box adds much to the luncheon. This surprise may be in the form of one or two pieces of candy. a prune stuffed with peanut butter. a favorite cookie. a specially fine apple or other fruit or snythlng your little luncher consid- ers pertinulsrixslluring. These menus may sue-sect other possibilities toyed: Ladles’ Aid The Ladies' Aid of the lint Bap- tist Church of Divine Heeling met yesterday afternoon.
