St. Patrick's day offers ap. opportunity to gve the happy 'springtime tone that is needed to cheer one over the dis mal days of March rains and winds toward the sunny j balmy days that are drawing near. Green plant, shamrocks, i 'green crepe paper trimmings, etc., against a back-ground of white certainly as sure? us that "spring is not far behind." " -If small -tables are to be used, as for a card party or tea, have two different arrangements for decoration and then alternate the tables. For one effect, f use jf!:.a green and white checked gingham table cloth, with paper napkins, or gingham napkins" to match the cloth. 1 Inexpensive glass j candle holders may be purcnased at the ten-cent stores and if place at each corner of the I table with green candles inserted therein will start you on your, decorative way. An inexpensive but attractive cen terpiece, that was used at a church social not long ago, was a child's toy wagon painted green and filled with Irish potatoes. The alternating tables could be covered "with small white cloths .

The center-piece might be a plant of real shamrocks. If care fully arranged lone could use for a centerpiece as many of the tiny pots of shamrocks as there are guests. Tie to each a green rib bon and have the ribbons radiate to each plate, f ;' There is found a tiny metal pig tied . to the end of the ribbon, or possibly a paper potato basket f filled with green candies. Afterwards, each , guset may draw his little plant of sham rocks from the center. ? ; , If a card party is planned, or any party -where partners :. must be chosen, arrange sufficient slips of paper containing-such combina tions as "cornbeef and cabbage," "ham and eggs," , "bread and milk," "Ice cream and cake," etc. Then clip these in halves and dis tribute to thej guests.

There is no doubt that the fash ion of cooking in . casseroles has come to stay in this country; and it is hardly a matter of surprise when the advantages of this form of cookery are considered," The sooner the casserole: utensil be comes an indispensable part of oar kitchen outfit, - the better for it makes In every way for "economy Jeconomy of materials, time and labor. .. : ' J "'; ' These area - fey of the advan tages of cooking in a casserole: First The flavor of the' food cooked is brought out when It is prepared in a casserole. . Second When vegetables- are cooked in a casserole--and nearly all vegetables are ? wonderfully better when cooked by this method a small amount of water. t in many cases seasoned stock, should be used. . ' Third Left-overs, salads ami small entrees of all kinds, may he served in a most - attractive manner In ramequins or individual. casseroles. ' " - ' , : - Fourth, The cooking in casse-" role dishes Is slow but thorough, and all the nutritions elements in the " "viands are preserved. The cover must fit snugly to each uten4 sll to prevent too rapid escaping of the aromas and flavors.: Some times a strip of cloth, spread with a soft paste of flour and water or mashed potatoes, is pressed over the joining of the casserole and th cover, end the heat of the oven finishes the sealing of the dish. .When the dish is ready to serve, the trlp of cloth, and paste is, removed. - , i Fifth Because of the fact that the food is cooked slowly and evenly, lees fuel Is used and once the materials have been started cooking, they require little atten tion. Sixth ' The cleanliness and wholesoineness of a casserole make it especially valuable in preparing food for the invalid and the convalescent, r Seventh- Another advantage of casserole cooking, especially in a family where for some reason or another, meals are irregular, is that the dish can be kept waiting for a considerable time without losing its heat and without deteri oration. Food can be left In a casserole with perfect." safety as! long ,as. desired -A l- : j The next : time you,. ; have a baked dish for ; your dinner, why not utilize the heat of the oven for . casserole ' dessert and think" of the time, energy and dish-washing you ; will save; ? or why "not ' make " your next vege table dinner, supper or luncheon, one of casserole - dishes Bay Curried Vegetables as the prin cipal dish and then have a Cho colate Rice Meringue or Bread Pudding for your Casserole des sert? We seldom think of scalloped fruits, but scalloped apples, apri cots, peaches, etc., make splendid casserole dishes.

BOOSTS M W Jobbing and Retail Show Ex pansion; Buying Declared to Be Only Fair .NE WYORK, March 13. Brad street's tomorrow will say: v '.'A week of spring weather has found reflection in a moderate increase in jobbing and retail trade and some expansion in build ing operations and in buying of construction materials, . Taken as a whole, however,; spring buying is hardly better than fair, and caution still characterizes pur chases. While "mail order and chain store sales showed good ex pansion in February, department store trade as reported by the fed eral reserve bank, shows a smaller movement In that1 month than a year ago, thus repeating the report as to-' January trade. ' -In Febru ary, as in '' June, ' trade "seems to have been best in the northwest and in the south west,? this latter. by the way, despite continued jlry weather in Texas "where rain is needed to put the. soil in condi tion for plowing, planting and crop growth. This week's report indicates the need of rain in Iowa and in Louisiana."

In the end wheat prices were down as much as 15 c a bushel, chief ly as a result of widespread rains which destroyed all" immediate ; likelihood of a crop shortage here. The'" wheat market closed excited. ffc to 15c net lower. May, 41.66 to $1.67. and July at $1.49 to $1.49. with corn off 6 to 7c; oats showing 4c to c decline, and provisions vary ing from 35c setback to 5c ad vance. - (Rushes to sell wheat began as soon as the market opened. The fact that ; this is the traditional time of year when crop complaints are' numerous had been largely re lied upon of late to stimulate buy ing.' ; ;.; :';Y - -"" . . It was with something akin' to despair that friends of higher prices saw reports this' morning of rain from nearly the entire do mestic winter wheat region, tell ing of rains or show that Implied excellent ;' growth conditions in stead of curtailment of yield. Liquidating sales' 6f corn and oats were also of unusual volume and came about chiefly as 4'result Of the ' acute weakness - of wheat. provisions gave way With grain.
