Recently we received invitations TO
an evening party. At the foot of tht
cards were a few lines conspicuousIs
underscored which read, please send
all the pictures that you have of your
self which were taken during baby
hood days not LATER than the 10Th"
OF course we complied with the re-
quest and were very curious to know
what part our funny, old fashioned
photographs were to take in the enter
tainment.
AS we entered the little drawing
room our host provided us with orders
They were dainty little foldin, affairs
just like cotiilon programmes, with
numerals ranging from / to 80. On
the face of each card the hostess had
sketched an infant in water colors, and
across the top in gilt letters was the
enigmatical inscription, Human Doe
uments."
The mystery was soon cleared. We
learned that 1t was a guessing game.
On the small tables. placed here and
there about the room, were the pic
lQ1CG W HICA We lAetn NOAtl bsf0
days before. and to each, held in place
by an elastic band. was appended a
tag with large number thereon.
We were told that the figures CORE
sponded with those on our orders and
that the purpose of the evening was
to guess the originals Of the photo
graphs. Fully two hours were con
sumed in this way.
One Of the guests was particularly
clever, guessing correctly 20 out of the
80 pictures.
The first prize was porcelain photo
graph frame into which the owners
own infantile likeness was placed, and
the booby prize was a minute magnify
ing glass.
But the fun came when the identity
of the various photographs was an
bounced. Here was a tall, digniied
lady with 2s inch waist who ac-

knowledged as one of her own like
nesses the photograph Of chubby
2-year-old girl who had assumed an
attitude anything but decorous when
the camera had been in operation. a
tintype of freckled faced boy with
hair ..slicked" back and staring eyes
which gazed eagerly for "the bird to
come out of the box" was admitted by
a spectaeled professional man.
There were peals of laughter as the
names which corresponded to the mum
bers were read. and remarks of the
most personal nature, all kindly, OF
course, were exchanged. Then the
guests told most entertaining stories
about events which happened when
| looked like that"
The ice of formality with which the
evening began was soon melted. Ev
erybody joked and laughed and agreed
in voting the human document party"
to be a most unique and entertaining
affair.

A Mlghtier Tribe.

Once upon a time the Rev. Thomas
X. Beecher of Elmira, N. T., brother
to Henry Ward Beecher, got into some
fort of quarrel with a man named
Smith down at Cohoes. Thomas X.
Beecher wrote the presumptuous man
defiant little note, saying eurtly:
"Do you want to get into quarrel
with the Beecher family" 2"
And the man wrote back, with a
snarl:
do you want to fight with the Smith
family2"
And no Beecher could stand that.
Thomas K. laughed and hastened to
make terms.-Los Angeles Times.

NOHs WdhhE HAVE SEEN THAT AID. BE-
FoRE?''
The object is to correctly name each
picture. All identifying marks should
be removed. aud pictures that have
printing suggestive of the title across
the face should not be used. Number
each picture in large figures. About
so clippings form good collection.
Prepare scores with numerals CORE
spending to those on the clippings and
provide each of your guests with one
of them. also pencil. Instruct them
to observe each picture and to place
its name beside the corresponding mum
ber on the score. The person having
the most correct answers wins in the
game.

The late Lady John Scott Spottis-

was often called the ''Sappho of the
North Country" She was an ardent
Conservative. She opposed the substitu-

on her Berwiekshire estate and made her
coachman ride position, regarding box
