When your children are in school, and your husband is at work, you And little pleasure in eating a soli tary meal. And when you are rushed with household duties, you are apt to grab a quick sandwich, or a steaming bowl of soup, and then continue with the tasks that are still before you. But, you can take advantage of the days when the family is away, and the work all finished, to entertain your friends at a one-o'clock lunch eon, a dessert luncheon for the bridge club, or for just a friendly get-together. A good menu and an attractive table will give you the poise and enthusiasm necessary to serve your guests easily and gra ciously. Oftentimes the most easily pre pared food may be the most attrac tively served. A fluted orange cup makes a colorful container for many fruits, which may be varied with the season. The fruit must be cut into pieces of convenient size, free from seeds and skin, except for grapes. It should be thoroughly chilled and combined so that it is a neat arrangement. If a few pieces are crushed or wilted, the whole concoction will look careless and un appetizing. Remember, an appetiz er should not be too sweet, for as the name implies, the first course should sharpen the appetite. For the rest of the menu you might like to serve mock chicken legs, baked potatoes, crisp green salad, crescent rolls, and as an un usual dessert, chocolate mint roll. Fluted Orange Cup. (Serves 6) 3 oranges 1 banana 1 cup grapes 3 tablespoons sugar With a sharp knife pierce to cen ter of orange. Cut the orange in Mhalf, using zig zag strokes that meet to make the points of the scal lops. Separate the 2 orange halves, and remove meat from shells. Cut orange meat into pieces.

Everybody loves a party, from the toddling youngster to the so phisticated adult. A hostess who can entertain her guests with something new in the way of par ty ideas is indeed popular. You do not have to wait for a birth day to warrant a celebration, tor soon there will be many holiday events to bring a group together. Miss Howe, in her book, "Easy Entertaining," gives you many new party ideas and suitable menus with tested recipes. You may secure your copy of her book by writing to "Easy Entertain ing," care of Eleanor Howe, 919 North Michigan Avenue, Chicago, Illinois, and enclosing 10 cents in coin. 1 * (ReleaHd by Waatcrn Nawipnper Union ) IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY I CHOOL Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D. Dean of The Moody Bible institute of Chicago. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for November 24 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. ATTITUDES TOWARD THE GOSPEL MESSAGE LESSON TEXT—Luke 8:415. GOLDEN TEXT—Take heed therefore how ft hear.—Luke 8:18. "Ho that hath ears to hear, let him hear," cried Jesus as He taught the parable of the sower. Thus He reveals the heart of the lesson—that it is the hearing of the Word of God, and the manner in which it is heard that determines the destiny of men. One may hear and yet not hear at all. Some who imagine themselves deaf have perfect hearing, but are so preoccupied with their own thoughts that they do not grasp what they hear. To be in such a state as far as spiritual things are concerned is desperately serious. Jesus cries to you, "If you have ears, hear the Word of God." A parable is an earthly story re lating common things of life to il lustrate and present heavenly truth regarding the spiritual life. Para bles are simple, but profound. A parable does not need interpreta tion, but it does need application. The parable of the sower, or rather of the four kinds of soil, presents the hearers of God's Word as being like four different fields. I. The Wayside (vv. 5 and 12). Through the fields of Palestine raw well-beaten paths, so hard from many footsteps that no seed could find lodgment and grow. The hearts of men are like that, with the world rolling its heavy wheels over the roads of our thinking. Sin and world ly pleasure add their bit, and the din and clatter of unwholesome or nonsensical radio programs cut their paths across our lives. Little wonder that so much of the Word of God which we do hear is picked up by the devil's own birds and carried away. Let's break up the hard ground of our life's way. side. 11. The Rocky Ground (vv. 6 and 13). Here we have the shallow soil on the rocky ledge, where seeds grow as if in a hothouse, but wither when the steady heat of the summer sun comes upon them. Shallow hearers are those who re ceive the word with joy, are car ried away with emotional enthusi asm, and seem to be most promis ing as followers of Christ until the real temptations and trials of life come, and then they are gone. They are like the soldier who enjoys wear ing the uniform and marching in the parade past the reviewing stand with bands playing and flags flying, but who deserts his post when his company goes into battle. Surely none of us wants to be that kind of a hearer of God's Word. 111. The Thorny Ground (vv. 7 and 14). The soil was good, the seed found its place to live and grow, but no one kept down the weeds, and they, as usual, got the best of the good seed. Note carefully in verse 14 what are the destructive thorns and weeds in the spiritual garden. The very things people in our day most seek —riches and pleasure—are the things which choke spirituality. Watch them and root them out. Observe also that the "cares" of this world are the weeds of the dev il. How they do press upon us and hinder our spiritual growth. A man testified that while he had attended church for 20 years he had never heard a sermon because he was always thinking about his business. How about you? IV. The Good Ground (w. 8 and 15). The harvest comes from the good soil, and how it does rejoice the husbandman as it brings forth even up to a hundred fold. The hearers of the Word who are thus fruitful for God are "honest." They listen to really receive help and do something about what they hear. They have "good hearts"—a field plowed, prepared and weeded, ready to bring forth fruit. When they hear the Word they "hold it fast"—they are reverent, thought ful and obedient to the Word. Ther. they have the "patience" to grow spiritually. It takes patient effort and devotion to do that, be sure ol it (read Luke 21:19 in the R. V.). In conclusion, we ask, "What then shall we do—sow only in the good ground?" No, let us ask God tr break up the beaten soil of the way side with the plowshare of His Word Let us deepen the shallow soil, flgh the weeds and thorns by His grace until they give up. Then let us g( right on sowing the seed "in seasoi and out of season" (read II Tim. 4:1-5). In all such labors your heart will sing with Joy because here and there you will be privileged to minister to "an honest and a good heart" which will bring "forth fruit a hun dredfold" to the glory of God and for the encouragement of His faith ful seed-sower. ' • Do -Not Guess .But let every man prove his owa work.—Gal. 6:4.' Henry's Trip to See Thermometer Was Urgent Ho slid his tired feet into a pair of slippers, lit his pipe, sat down in the easy-chair with a sigh of relief, and declared 20,000 wild horses couldn't make him stir from the house. "Henry," said his wife, "you posted that letter I gave you this morning?" "I did, my love," he answered. "I asked mother to postpone her visit for a while," his wife con tinued. "You see—" Henry did so. The tired man jumped from his chair, kicked off his slippers, put on his boots, and slipped out into the murky street. Five minutes later, Henry came back with the tale that he had been to see how the thermometer outside the post office stood. She smiled. > \ I.Tb rellev» htad»eh».
