THEY TALKED VACCINATION.Health Commissioner Ohage of St. Paul

and Dr. P. M. Hall., director of publichealth at Minneapolis, met in Dr. Ohage'soffice yesterday to discuss the smallpox sit-uation. Both agreed that a genera] vac-cination of the people of the twin cities isessential.

Realty in MinneapolisThe real estate men report a satisfactory

week. Although no large deals wereclosed, there was a healthy increase inthe number of sales, all the dealers re-porting an encouraging list. Most of thetransactions covered small properties orvacant lots, but so many of. them occurredduring the week chai the brokers are ontip-toe with expectancy.

An interesting feature of the situationis that every real estate man in the cityhas a number of pending deals, some ofwhich are of considerable magnitude. Thisfact, combined with their ability to makea sufficient number of small trades to keepthem going nicely, affords them abundantencouragement. The inquiry for desirablewarehouse or jobbing properties well downtown continues unabated, every dealerhaving letters from out of town people re-garding good locations in the- heart of thecity. Most of thorn require improvedproperty, but several jobbers are askingfor information regarding building opera-tions, the price of materials, labor, etc.

Walter A. Eggleston of the David C.Bell Investment company, is elated overthe activity in vacant lot inquiries. Dur-ing the week this firm made a number ofsales to people who will build homes thisseason. The generally healthy tone of themarket, Mr. Eggleston says, merits theattention of investors.

Edmund G. Walton has also embarkedextensively in the vacant lot business,

j That part of the eighth ward known asLake Calhoun park is just now concerningMr. Walton's attention. During his east-ern trip he secured sixty lots from oneconcern which have not been on the mar-ket in years. Mr. Walton reports the fol-lowing sales:

House, 909 Fifteenth avenue S.House, 119 Royalston avenue.House, 2212 Snelling avenue.Two lots in Berquist's addition, one lot

in Yon Rustler's addition, one lot inStillman's addition, one lot on Fourteenthstreet near Portland, and one lot in Me-nage's fifth addition.

The Improvement Bulletin has the fol-lowing building notes this week.

OUR DAILY BREADAFTER THEATER SI PPERS

The Uieater and concert season gives onemany opportunities for arranging informallittle parties among their own set or most in-timato friends, for a:i evening of very de-lightful enjoyment. Many frequently hesi-tate to suggest this, on account of the addi-tional expense of a cupper, which is consid-ered the necessary ending to the evening'samusement. The public restaurant beingout of the question at this late hour, particu-larly when young people are of the party,there is no alternative but the expensivehotel supper or the fashionable club restau-rant, and in some towns not even this choiceof two evils. All difficulty in this respectcan be avoided by having their late mealserved in. your own home, where one canenjoy much more freedom than in a publicplace.

A Hume Sapper.Very little trouble and expense Is necessary

in order to serve a dainty little home"spread." The hostess or any lady of theparty, for upon the ladies should fall thispart of the entertainment, may relieve themind of the gentlemen by volunteering toprovide this repast. Let no fear of rook'swrath cr rebellion on the part of the over-taxed maid dismay the woman who if giftedBto can dispense with all attentions fromservants by having everything as nearlyready as possible before she leaves thehouse. The less formal and more impromptu,the more your friends will enjoy the hospi-tality.

The Table Arrangement,

When something more formal than a Bo-hemian supper is desired, the following sug-

gestion may show how easily and withoutundue labor ior worry you may have thingsto your taste. Let your finest linen grace theboard, a vase or cut glass bowl of flowersin the center, giving color and sparkle in the Isoft light from the shaded candles. Thecandk' shades should harmonize with theflowers, pink being the favorite and most de-sirable for (t'cdle-lighi. effect, as the deli-cate glow it casts over faces and costumesis becoming to all. Fill the bonbon basketsfind olive dishes, leaving the latter in therefrigerator to keep fresh and cold. Forthe extra silver and dishes required a littleside table may be placed near the board. Thiswill enable you to dispense with the maid andnot oblige you to set up from the table your-self.

What the Maid Can Do.Instruct the maid as to what she is to do

before retiring. Have thin slices of breadI prepared and buttered and folded in a nap-jkin; this placed in a tin box or refrigerator!to keep moist. The sandwiches preparedand wrapped in waxed paper and kept in acool place. Have all ingredients measuredand ready that are to be used by the hostessjin her cooking. If cocoa is to be served,

| this may be made and left in a double boilerI and reheated when needed, many considering]it much better made in this way. By mlllin?i it when first made no scum will form while

I standing.If oysters are to be served have them in

the refrigerator, in a dish ready to bring tothe table. The white sauce, if they are to becreamed, can be prepared by the maid and

] reheated when needed., It should be keptclosely covered to prevent hardening on top.The oyster liquor should not'be added to thesauce until it is reheated.

The Salad.This is a dish that invariably accompanies

the midnight feast. Have it ready for thedressing, which must not be added until itis to be served. Keep both salad and dress-ing in a cold place, so the former will notlose its crispness or the latter get oily.

A bottle of prepared salad dressing is veryconvenient for such occasions and preferredby many to the other dressings.

Soups are frequently served and generallyof the canned j preparations. .;• These ! simplyrequire reheating. Only the simplest kindsshould be indulged in, and clam broth orbouillon is to be preferred. ; Serve I this ' incups; : a,teaspoonful<of. whipped cream beingadded. Tiny sandwiches, oysters in various'ways, the übiquitous Wei sir rarebit and othercheese dishes, cocoa, '.; Ices, light desserts,cake, bonbons and fruit. Coffee is occasion-ally, served, but should not be for \u25a0:obviousreasons. And do not serve cocoa with Welshrarebit; have some .slight regard for . yourstomach if you desire peaceful slumbers anduntroubled dreams. *- Let the repast impressthe eye 'with . refreshing daintiness, and notfulsomeness; you may have a : very genteelappetite, \u25a0 but you cannot be ravenously hun-gry. \^:r.'^:-'-\u25a0':'.;'\u25a0' "\u25a0. :: "

The Chaffing Dish. ."'-•\u25a0 ,If the hostess ; is skilled in the use of this

convenient litlte utensil, and .in these days ]we find few who are not; and if she has morethan one of these articles, then the troubleof these supeprs is lessened, and it\ may beconducted with considerable more fun andmerriment.
