also say that he had no idea they took him
seriously; it was only joke. 4
And all this time number six was coming,
Who could it be? All. yes: little Bessie Van
Rensselaer,. He wondered whether she took it
seriously. He even wondered whether she was
in the plot at all. Then he had a sudden idea.
The carriage was yet we'll up the road.
Up he jumped, rushed down the back stairs
to the side door. He was just opening 1t when he
heard sweet voice: "Oh, Mr. Copley! Where
are you going?" 1t was one of the Brookield
girls. sDI aoGT

In an instant he was out. He lodged around
the honse. and rushed down the driveway,
leaving the long line of carriages in the rear.
He reached the cato just at the same timc

"Oh, yes. Thanks 80 much, Mr.. Coplcy. So

Not at ALL" muttered Copley, as he stepped
into the carriage.
Why. what are all those carriages?" asked
Bessie Van Rensselaer,, seeing the line in front
of the house. Some of them were moving, aud
two girls were standing on the steps. IS ong So

Yellow chrysanthemums worn or carried
with white or black gown are very effective.
~
Someone has suggested q way to utilize old
WOODEN blankets that because they are
shrunken and yellow are no longer useful as
blankets The idea is to make lounge rugs out
of them. There are two methodssuggested. One
is to first dye them some soft, dark shade, say
dark brown, then trim them off to make them
a good size for the lounge cover and decorate
them either in long stripes or in borders across
the ends, with little embroidery done with
erewels. A very simple design might be made
out of interlacing circles parts of circles and
these could easily be marked with the aid of an
inverted tumbler. Embroidered in pretty reds,
or browns and yelows, they would make tho
rug very bright. The other method involves
q little more work. 1t is to make stripes of
some soft WOODEN goods; two or three breadths
of dress goods will do. Make these stripes from
nine to l2 Inches wide. Line them with paper
muslin, bastng in the edges, Then draw In
either . simple vine design along the strip or
scattered leaves or flowers. Work these with
crewels, using the outline stitch, or the long
and short Remington. 1t will not take very
much work to embroider them. Basic these
strips lengthwise on blanket that has been
dyed some pretty color, and then applique each
side down with . simple cst.stitch or herring
bone stitch, using black erewels. Finish the
ends with heavy fringe. OF course these are
sometimes very pretty and sometimes they are
very ugiy-these made.over. and "contrived,"
and dyed things. 1t requires great deal Of
pains to make things pretty, but some people
hate to waste time on scraps" therefore they
do this sort of thingin aslouehy way, aud then
the result is much worse than if nothing ut all
had been attempted.

Conversation parties still find favor. They
sre regular boon TO those who neither pIsy
cards nor dance. Some are very bright The
following list Of subjects could scarcely fail
to make one evening exceedingly interesting:
1. What gift as woman would you most pre-
ferf 2 What seems to you the- fun aisst Joke
or story that you have heard lately? 3. The
pisnoforte do its pleasures outweish its
tortures? 4. What city IL the most beautiful
that you have ever seen2 g. What book of
sction have you most enjoyed reading? 6.
Ought women wear their best clothes to
church? If not why not?
These CONVERSATION parties have before
been described jim The Better Half. The pro-
grams for them are made out exactly as for
dancing party,except instead of dances they have
the topics" Partners are engaged for differ
emit subjects From 10 to Is minutes is allowed
for each one. At the end of the evening q vote
