Living Authors.

Give four players the names of
poets, four Of novclists, four of cs-
Sayists, four Of historians, and so
OIL. Each player is told in secret
WHOM he Is to represent. The COM
pietc list is placed upon the black
board. These prcliminarics being
arranged, from four to seven or
eight unnamed persons play the
game. They sit in a circle and
draw tEclr cards by calling in turn
upon the members to stand behind
their chairs. AS each member
reaches the chair he whispers his
name to the player. The game pro-
ceeds as in the we'll known game of
authors, each player calling in turn
tor an author needed to complete
some book Of which he has a part.
After book is formed it is made to
sit down behind the chair of the
fortunate player, and so the game
proceeds until all are seated.

An attractive parasol of white is
covered with black point desprit,
stretched plain over the white.
Gun metal and cut steel make an at
tractive combination in hat ornaments,
and sometimes rhinestones are COM
bined with these.
Some of the spring hats will show
soft silk scarfs Of a, ptrasting color
to the straw thread through inter-
stices cut in the shape, the fat de-
signs especially admitting of this sort
of trimmings.
Pongee parasols have inserts of lace
after the fashion Of so many others.
These inserts are in separate figures,
and are set at intervals around the
edge. A flower effect is given to part
of the lace by raised lace petals.
There were never more pearl orna-
ments for hats. There are buckles of
pearls, cabochons of them, two Of
these cabochons with dropping strings
of pearls connecting them and hat pins
with heads nearly as large as golf
ball of pearls. There are pearl orna-
ments set with rhinestones, but these
| are not as common.
Very dainty is a chilPs frock made
of a pink-striped material in wash
goods, the stripes narrow and formed
on lines of pink dots. The yoke of
this frock is made of the material with
the lines running across Below the
yoke there is a rufIle showing row up
on row Of narrow white lace The
lower part Of the dress hangs straight
from this yoke.
Here is sleeve seen one one OF
the new waists, which is very pretty.
The upper part is tucked to fit the
arm about half the length between
the shoulder and elbow. F-om there
it fulls out into a large puff, and
gradually shapes in again near the
wrist, where the remaining fullness is
held by three rows Of shirring, set a
little way apart. Below the shlrring
J Is a cuff some two inches in width.

The eggplant has two insect enemies
the potato beetle and n very small
black insect. The first is easily de-
stroyed by hand picking, but to kill the
latter the plants must be sprayed sew
eral times during the summer writes
Frank Aiken, in American Agricultur-
list. The first year that these small
black insects appeared the Plants
turned yellow and died before I knew
what allied them. Now l always watch
them, and when they first appear,
spray with weak bordeaux mixture,
using plenty Of lime and adding a little
paris green, though do not think the
poison necessary. A few times 1 have
neglected spraying until plants got so
yellow as to be noticeable several rods
away. l then sprayed them with
knapsack sprayer, and in a few days
the plants would recover and do well.
I usually spray three or four times as
insects appear. Elephants are not al
lowed to ripen, but are cut and sold
when large enough. In my home mar
ket / get from 81 down to forty cents
per dozen, depending upon the time
and the market. They are q profitable
crop with me.

plnntine Truit Trecs.

The planting Of fruit trees should
begin ms early as the weather will
permit and the work should be done
with care and judgment. One o. the
difficulties met with by those ordering
fruit trees is that OF selecting the
proper varieties suitable for the soil
and climate Because a certain variety
succeeds In one section is no guaran-
tee that It will prove successful else
where. AS IT takes time for a tree
to grow and produce fruit any mis-
take made at the beginning may entail
loss in the future Inexperienced per.
sons should consult those who have
met with success In the use OF varieties
and follow their methods. New va
rleties that are given extraordinary
merits may be worthless in some sec.

-Four of the nine skirt cores were cut
up into strips and cores, the latter
being ave inches wide at the foot and
pointed at the top. These alternated
with the three-inch strips, all being set
together with the insertion to form a
knee-deep flounce. The remaining five
cores were enough for the skirt The
insertion edged the founce, as well
as the narrow under-ruffle, which was
made from the coat lining. The roses
were en- applique at the foot of the

A Child NaturnIlv Good

There is something in the heart OF
every natural child that aspires toward
goodness, toward beauty, toward that
which is ever fresh, pure and whole
some Give him the whole earth and
withhold the one drop Of nourishment
on which the health of his heart de-
ponds and you leave him unsatisfed
1t is not pleasure merely, it is some
thing deeper, more extensive than this
which hallows within his memory the
rill that is to run with sweet waters
all his after-life Into the joy of the
moment must enter some tincture Of
virtue, some hint of enduring purpose,
& suggestion Of intimacy toward larger
life, toward which his Cwn is to grow.

that the eggplant requires more time
