A luncheon was given by Mrs. H. R. Benda of 250 Clark terrace, CIWT side, on Tuesday, with Mrs. Braddon as the guest of honor. Assembled to meet her, were Mrs. William Heaton of Elizabeth, Mrs. J. A.

All enjoyed the social time and reminiscences, then about three o’clock came the surpirse to the guest of hon or when fellow members of the Con gregational Ladies’ Aid Society came in for the afternoon tea with her. The feature the afternoon was the presentation of a handsome under the arm purse to Mrs. Braddon from the Ladies’ Aid, through its president, Mrs. Kaelin, who in her bright little speech, dwelt on the value of Mrs. Braddon’s connection with the church society as a devoted member, a hard worker, and a social asset with whom it had been always a pleasure to work and she recommended the services of the Ladies’ Aid, in case of need for them at the Hollywood studios, prom ising that when the call came they would as always be ready to respond with aid. Mrs. Braddon, although very much surprised, gracefully res ponded in her usual delightful man ner, expressing her Borrow at part ing, and her affection for those with whom she had worked and played. It was a touching scene when the good byes were finally said, and this long time resident, together with her family, will be greatly missed in the social, church and club circles of the town for they have been actively iden tified with these, doing'their part and more at all times.

Kester, Home demonstration Agents of Bergen County. HINTS FOR FALL JOBS Fall renovation of the home for win ter comfort, is in the mind of many men and women at this time. We are including a word to those who plan to have painting done in one or more rooms of the home. Radiators, whether for steam or hot water heat, should be painted to match in color, cither the wall paper or woodwork in the i-oom in order to make them as incon spicuous as possible. Then too, they will radiate more heat into the room when painted with a non-metallic paint, than a metallic paint such as has been used so frequently in the past. The old saying “To be forewarned is to be forearmed’’ when applied to housekeeping, means that the business manager of the home has in her pur chasing, gotten on hand the supplies needed for the many “odd jobs’’ that are to be done in order to be ready for winter when it arrives. A set of casters to use in arising the kitchen table to a comfortable height; a can of good oil outdoor paint for use on the porch chairs before they are put away for the winter; an umbrella and overshoes for the kiddies who must go to school on rainy days as well as sunshiny ones; etc. That ache in your back and the height of your sink may be closely related. Do you stoop when working at the sink? If so it needs to be raised. It should not cost you much to have this work done. It may be that moving it to another place in the kitchen would save the woman who works there many steps in a year. Have this done at the time as the added expense will be money well spent. Call upon your Home Demonstra tion Agent for information if you are plannig new lights for your kit chen. Days are coming when we wish to build the furnace fire, in order to have the house comfortably warm. Before doing this the furinture should have special care, says the State extension specialist in home management. If furniture is not given the proper treatment it will dry out too much during the winter. A meeting which will demonstrate the best methods of taking care of furinture is planned for Bergen County on Friday, September 24. If you were among those unfortunate ones who did not see the furniture demonstration at Areola last July, put a nice black ring around this date on your calendar and plan to come into Hackensack to get some pointers on furniture cleaning and renovation. Further detailed notice of this meet ing will be given later. i HOW OLD IS YOUR SEWING MACHINE?
