A New Game for Summer Evenings

Information parties are the newest form
of amusement. They are designed to In
clude all those persons who usually decline
anything in the way Of a game on the plea
that they "are not Intellectual you know"
and "have only time to read the papers"
To read the papers Is all that is required
In this game. The war information is the
favored branch Of this interrogative game
To begin with, you must have good mem
DRY if you want to take the head prize, and
of course you do, particularly If the-head
prize is a silver belt BUCKLE and you are a
man, or a shaving mug and you are a
woman. No civil service examination is re-
quired to test the said quick memory-its
presence or absence will be divulged later
on. The first person begins by asking some
leading question, as who was the Spanish
admiral at Manila?" ealing upon some
one of the party to answer. If answered,

A BUTTERFLY's DAINTY MEAL

There strolled blithesome maiden
In cool and shady wood
A butterfly came gaily
And kissed her where she stood.
"Forgive me-" prayed the vandal, q.
"Forgive me mine offense.
While | was honey supping
Among the flowers dripping,
Thy red red lips bewitchinS.
Like roses lured me hence"
Then laughing spake the maiden,
For this time. little thing,
Will forgive your SHINING.
But, mark, in the beginning,
These roses do not blossom
For every thief on wing"

A Word About Summer Luncheons

Do not have your flowers too profuse.
Do not oversalt anything, as it induces
thirst; and do not forget that the trickle
of Ice Is sweetest of hot weather music.
Use it, cracked, under olives and around
tomatoes If they be served alone; shave it.
and fill tumblers for tea, grape Juice or
other cold beverages; indeed, introduce 1t

The Return of the Bang
Women have gone mad on the subject
of new coiffures. For young and pretty
women or for those whose proflles can
bear 1t, Is the Greek with its waved tresses
drawn back and held in single projecting
loop as shown in our illustration. But
what is going to be style for the future,
that which all women will adopt? We are
told that the bang is to be that style--the
old-fas hioned, straight or slightly waved
fringe. 1t Is years. land years since We
saw that low-cut fringe of hair, that is off
the heads of little girls, 80 it will be a
change, at any rate. when 1t arrives.
People are wondering what sort of comb
and hair ornaments will go with this type
Of coiffure. Side-combs certainly will, and
the Spanish or Empire comb might be util-
jed st1l above the low set coil instead Of
as now beneath the one dressed high. A
narrow long comb shaped to lie fiat on the
crown of the head will also probably ap-
pear, and slken bands and tulle will be
available also. But the meter of the new
couture Is to show the shape of the head.
to be, in fact, decided contrast to that
with which we are now familiar.

SIXTY YEARS IETTER.CARRlER
Hannah Brewer Equals the Queen In
Years of Service.

Hannah Brewer, the old Bitton post
mistress, who has just joined the ranks
OF the superannuated, has. recently told
a representative of the London Daily
Mail that she has been delivering let
tiers without intermission during the
whole 60 years Of the queens reign.
She began when child Of ~, and dur
ing her many years of service had
walked 100000 miles. Her father was
subpostmaster Of the village, and the
district she covered consisted Of the
scattered hamlets lying between Wick
and Bitton, on the borders Of Glouces-
ter. Her daily round was II miles in
oil weathers, and included many steep
hills. Although the district is sparse
ly populated, the old lady said she had
never been robbed, stopped or molested
in any way. Her travels, apart from
her daily visitations, have never extend
ed beyond Bath or Bristol, and since
1892 she has lived alone, those related
to her being too poor to render her
any assistance. Notwithstanding the
hardships she has undergone, old Han
nah Brewer has enjoyed good health
during her term of Office. Her alb
sences from duty, she said, had been
very few indeed. and now, at the adj
vanced age of 70 years, she has retired
from the service of the postmaster-gen.

JUDGE BEEDE TALKS
And Makes Some Sensible
Suggestions About Roads
and Advocates a 6-Year
Term for County
Commissioners
Riverside, july 5. '98

Riverside, July 5, 1913.
Ed. Free Press:-I noticed the
contention of the commissioner
from the 3rd. district and the edit
or in your last issue. My conclu-
sions are, that while both were
right, neither gave us the correct
remedy. The order of the COM
missioners prohibiting hiring help
was, to a certain extent, right; but
that did not apply to the road su-
pervisors attending to their duties
as supervisors. They should have
had their storm coats on and seen
to it that the spring rains and
melting SHOWS were not running
the full length of the hills in the
wagon ruts and thus destroying
the grades. One days work at
that time would have saved a
week in repairs. Yet l will not
condemn the commissioners, for /
believe they intend to do for the
best. We must consider first, that
our system of electing a new set of
commissioners at each election
places a full board of inexperienced
men to manage our county affairs.
Thus we must naturally look for
mistakes. And then our system
of road supervision is such that
the commissioners look to each
road district to manage it's own
affairs. AS an illustration we will
take the Elk City road, one of the
most essential roads in the county.
The residents Of that district have
neither elected nor petitioned for a
supervisor. We must naturally
expect the commissioners to wait
and see if each road district will
not act for itself, which is time
wasted. Now as it is, on said
road of 40 miles, one supervisor at
the best can only get it in repair
before the fall rains come, which
will destroy his work for the year.
Remedy: Election of one COM
missioner at each election for a
term of six years, and always ex-
perienced men in the office, and
the supervisors required to look
after the grades and the mountain
roads during the storms and when
the SHOWS are going off. An
ounce of prevention to a pound of
cure. j. E. B.
