process of going throiigh a meat
grinder. The seventh-term octet,
dressed in Japanese costumes, sang
"The Japanese Sandman." The eighth
termers gave a very touching panto

After the stunts had been presented

MOVIE CABARET IS NICEST
PARTY AND NOT EXPENSIVE
Wonderful Affair, and Spiffy, Too, for Honor Guest of Newlyweds,.
Young Mr. Paxton Discovers.
BY MARGARET NEWCOMBE". -
YOUNQ Mr. and Mrs. Paxton were
just finishing breakfast In
their pretty little yellow and
white dining room, which was fairly
gleam with the shiny newness of the
wedding silver and mahogany. Claire very nicest party that had ever been
party for Polly that will knock the
spots off ot any theater party any
one ever gave with the best cabaret
in town thrown in, you see if I can't.
You finish your cakes and trust your
wife." And that was the beginning
of, the germ that developed into the
Paxton disconnected the toaster, fold
ed up her napkin and brought her
chair around the table beside her
husband, who was just attacking his
third pile of hot cakes.
"I do wish we could have a real
epiffy party for Polly when she
comes next week. John.' she said.
"She always has such wonderful af
fairs for me whenever I have visited
her. And really. It is to be our
first big party, too."
"What sort of a party do you mean,
Clairs?" asked John, flooding his
plate with sirup.
-"Oh, a theater party and then sup
per at some hotel afterward where
we -could dance," but she laughed at
the audacity of such a wish.
. John pushed back his plate and
turned in his chair to face his pretty
little wife with a cloud on his face.
"I guess that's a little too. much for
us to . tackle yet, Claire dear. It
would cost an awful lot of money,
wouldn't It? Some day I hope to be
able " but he got no further.
"Don't you talk that way, John
Paxton. You give me everything- I
want right now. Why, I can glv a
given In the gay young crowd Into
which John Paxton had brought his
pretty little wife not much more than
a year before. Claire Owens had al
ways been on the entertainment com
mittees when she was in college, and
she fairly exuded- original ideas when
she got her keen ittle mind at work.
A wee!c later 20 young people in
town received In the mail one morn
ing invitations to a movie cabaret at
the Paxtons' to meet Miss Polly El
liott. Claire had drawn on black
cardboard and then cut out little
oblong boxes looking for all the world
like cameras, with a tiny hole In the
front .or the lens. On the back was
pasted white paper for the invitation.
This was left free at one end and a
ticket to the best movie bouse in the
neighborhood, not far from the house,
was slipped into this like a plate.
The invitation stated that the crowd
was to meet at the movie for the 7
o'clock performance and then go on
to a chafing dish supper and cabaret.
"So cat lightly on that night," was
appended to the bottom of the Invi
tation. When ther arrived at the Paxton
house five small card tables were laid
for supper, and It 'took only Jhe few
minutes that they were removing
their wraps upstairs to put the fruit
cocktails in place. Three chafing dishes
with creamed chicken were on the
dining room table, all ready to be
lighted. Everything had been gotten
ready, before the Paxtons had left "for
the movie. When .the guests got
downstairs John passed a tray.. of
small stars cut from silver paper to
the men, and Claire to the girls. Those
for the men had the names of well
known movie stars written qn them,
and on those for the girls were past
ed little pictures cut from some old
movie magazines. For instance, there
was Charlie Chaplin's feet, Doug's
smile. Bill Hart's piebald pony, Will
Rogers' lariat. Harold Lloyd's glasses,
Ben Turpin's eyes and so on. and they
matched up for partners for the first
course. 'While this was going on John
was getting the chicken under-way,
so when the frutt was eaten It was
all ready to serve, -piping hot. The
tables were arranged as much out of
the way as possible to leave the floor
space clear for dancing. One was
laid on the landing in the hall. The
phonograph played for the dancing.
This arrangement was especially
suited for such an affair! because it
gave Claire and one of her younger
friends plenty of time to get the
serving' done, with the heipof the
colored girl who came in to work in
the kitchen. On each table was a
card with a stunt written -On It. One
was a song and . dance; another an
exhibition dance and a third a piano
solo. ach table had to select one of
their crowd to do this stunt between
dances. When the chicken was ready
to serve two persons from every table
moved on and changed partners. The
last course was ice cream, cake and
coffee. Ginger ale and grape juice
were served throughout the, supper.
"Nicest party I have ever been to,"
was the verdict of the guest of honor
as she went upstairs that night after
they had all left.
"And I think she meant it, too,
John," said Claire,, happily, as she
made ready for bed.
