from those whom, say, ten minutes
have not guessed the word: but, on the
other hand, If all have guessed It in ten
minute the officers must pay the for
feits. Another more complex game, wnich
requires some preparation, is one where
the hostess has ready numbered cards
with painted or pasted signs, scenes.
small articles. and clippings TO distribute
among her guests; every n is allowed
a few minutes to guess the meaning of
each card, and 10 write the answer on
small score cards provided for the pur-
pose. A prize is given at the end Of the
evening to the one who has the greatest
number of correct Here are
some suggestions for the cards.-A large
bow of hay Indicates Hayti, a red c is
the Red Sea, the names of two States
Joined together is the United States, and
an eye and a tally card is Italy. Any
number of combinations will readily sug-
gest themselves, and this game is always
taking with young people. Perhaps not
less amusing than these newer games is
an old-time spelling bee, where the COM
pany are equally divided into two por-
tons and stand in lines opposite each
other; a word is given out first to the
person at the end of the line vino may
spell it correctly, when another word is
given out to the opposite line, but if
the word is not correctly spelled it is
passed to the next person opposite, and
so on alternately up the lines until the
one who spells it correctly has the privi-
lege of choosing one of the opponents to
be on his side; the game ends when either
side has won a sufficient majority. To
vary the game evenings. why do you not
have a palmistry evening? Some one
nould dress as a gypsy, and, having
studied on the subject a little, tell for
tunes and read hands; this win be sure
to be popular. A Scotland evening is also
very much THE thing;;n there may be
readings from Scotch authors, and games
where Scotch topics are treated; one
might be a game of quotations. cards
given to the guests with misquoted ex-
tract from Scotch verse written on
them; whoever is able to change the
greatest number of quotations to their
correct form to win a prize. On the same
order 0 be a game of cards with
written questions about Scotch books
and Scotch history. the one who is most
apt in the answers to receive a prize
a book of Scotch verse was a prize.
Have one evening devote to charades.
young people always enjoy these; and
on another a Mother. Goose party. For
the latter the hostess must provide cards
with the name of some Mother Goose
character written in each, and whe all
the company has gathered she must de-
mand of every one the verse to which his
character relates, and demand a forfeit
of him who canno correctly quote it.
Velvets play a conspicuous part this
year. for entire gowns of black, blue or
steel gray are seen. A very elegant one

As are all the reception or carriage
gowns, the skirt was cut with a deni-
train. Like it or not. bustles or hip bus
ties, too, are worn. The bonnet worn
with the purple dress thus was a tiny
poke of delicate rose velvet, jetted and

aigrette.
An exquisite dress of biscuit coIored
.broadcloth was trimmed with turquoise
blue and white. The yoke and top of
the sleeves were of tightly SHRED white
chiffon; while the blouse, cut in deep
points, fastened up on the shoulders with

A simple little gown with such a smart
