The new and very delightful -four
leaf clover hunts" may be given by
hostesses who are miles from a green
field and. consequently. a clover bed
The preparations are very simple. the
only expense necessary being that OF
a sheet or two OF c0lored cardboard,
says Dellneator. The cardboard chosen
should be, If possible. Of rich dark
green. but any shade Of green could
be substituted. From these sheets are
cut myriad four-leaf clovers Of natu-
raj size. BY careful clipping and meas
uring to avoid waste, several hundred
can Re prepared from a small quantity

windowsills and book-shelves; tucked
into the folds Of the window curtains.
Under the hearth rug and plano cover.
and among the pillows Of the divan.
Each clover spray is numbered in
gold paint, the numbers ranging from
one to ten. In this way. if 800 sprays
had been prepared, thirty Of them
would have been marked 10; thirty
3; thirty, s; thirty, Z, etc. When all
have been disposed Of the little en-
blems Of good-fortune are everywhere,
but so cannily hidden that it requires
search and a sharp eye to discover
them.
OF course, the idea Of the evening
is for each guest to unearth as many
clovers as possible. AS soon as the
last guest has appeared a bell is rung,
and the lively hunt begins. II the
hostess finds 1t practicable she might
provide, in advance. as many pretty
little linen bags for holding the Glow
ers found as there are to be players.
These bags can be embroidered In
green floss and retained by the play
ers as souvenirs Of the evening.
In the hurry and furry Of hunting
the clovers there is no time to spend
in finding out their value. which is
given by the numbers marked upon
them. All energies are bent to the
work Of securing as many as possible.
But when the boll rings, as a signal
that the hunt is over, the fun Of count
ing begins. If prizes are given-and
simple trophy or two is usually advis-
able-the first awaiA is carried off by
the bag which contains the largest
of clovers. The second goes
to the lucky individual whose num-
bers, added together, give the largest
total.
A pretty touch and one worth con-
sidering would be added to the enter
tainment by introducing the color
scheme OF the evening into table trim
mings and menu. The centerpiece for
the buffet refreshment table might be
a graceful silver dish Of ferns The
could have shades Of green tis-
sue paper. Finger-rolls and sandwich
es might be tied with narrow green
ribbon. and the small side dishes
might contain olives, cress, pistachio-
nuts, almonds and crystallized mint

A movement IS now on in New York
which is being earnestly supported by
prominent architects throughout the
state and Is watched With interest by
members Of that profession In an Of
the larger cities throughout the coun-
try. The scheme. which Is in the
hands OF the Architectural League Of
New York. Is to secure the enactment
Of a law which shall require architects
to pass an examination and register
with a state board before they can
draw plans for the erection Of build
ings. The proposed measure would
prevent self-constituted architects
from drawing plans for buildings inn
properly constructed and dangerous to
the public.

the practice OF medicine. dentistry and
like professions. AS It Is both a sei-
ence and an art, the call for some legal
restraint on its indiscriminate practice
Is insistent. Where art is not con-
cerned at an, as in the construction OF
some manufacturing buildings and
tenement houses. the need Of scientific
ability is more apparent In large
cities there are usually restrictions
which forbid the construction Of such
buildings as would prove a menace to
public safety But these restrictions
can be eluded by unscrupulous per-
sons, backed up by the plans Of so
called architects grossly ignorant or
the laws Of mechanics that limit the
strength and bearing capacity OF
