PAPER-TEARING PARTY
Tor nm Evenings Entertainment OF
Young Folks of the Neighbour
hood n Good Scheme.

For the neighborhood club. try the
progressive paper-tear, advises the
Washington Star.
The hostess who wants to give her
friends merry evening at slight cost
could not find a better idea. Best of
all, the progressive tear does not re-
quire moments preparation. While
preparation is often interesting and
delightful, it occasionally happens
that there is no time for it, as, for
example, when guests come in unex-
pectedly and an impromptu contest is
required.
Before beginning the game the
hostess should announce the different
classes of objects to be torn. The first
round could be animals, the second
flowers, the third kitchen utensils, the
fourth any objects in the room where
the party is being held, the fifth
profiles of famous personages. There
may be from five to ten classifications,
according to the time allotted.
Each player is given sheet of white
paper of similar size and texture.
Half sheets of white note paper are
best. The player having received his
sheet draws his chair TO the table,
which must be large enough to seat
the entire company. All players hold
their paper under the table so that
they cannot watch their handiwork,
and tear out any object of the class
given. Thus, under animals" any,
thing from a hedgehog to a giraffe
may be designed. Under furniture"
anything from footstool to side
board; under flowers such antip-
odes as the violet and the magnolia.
Trickery of the right sort is entire
ly permissible. At the original paper
tear one "artist" tore an animal which
all persons in the party failed to
guess. He announced it whale,
which he insisted was not a fish, but
warm-blooded marine animal.
When everyone has torn his or her
object he writes a number given by
the hostess upon one side of the art
product. Pencils and penny note
books are then distributed, and the
torn-out objects are passed from hand
to hand. Each. player examines the
representation as it passes and writes
down the nature of it rs nearly as
he can discover. The papers are then
collected by the hostess and each
player is called upon to declare the
subject of his work of art.
The tearer having the greatest num-
Der Of correct guesses as to the other
players productions gains one point.
The artist whose tearing out is pro-
nounced cleverest is also given point
The respective merits of the various
pieces of work are passed upon by the
hostess, and each round is carried out

in precisely the same way; that is, by
tearing. guessing and awarding points.
The profile feature is productive of
so much fun that it should never be
omitted. At the original party .
hearty laugh resulted when the play
ers discovered that four President
Roosevelts, two Gen. Grants, two Sit
ting Bulls. three Abraham Lincolns
and six Napoleons figured among the
portraits, no two of which bore any
discernible resemblance to each other
When all classifications have been
torn and guessed, at least two good
hours will have taken unto them
selves wings. The hostess now counts
up the points ard awards the prize.
If desired. the points won by tearing
and guessing can be kept separately
and two prizes awarded.
A pretty paper knife might be pre-
scented with the explanation that, al
though the prize winner has been re.
markably successful in tearing pa
per, he or she may some time in the
future prefer to cut it. A smart leath-
er portfolio for holding note-paper il
another appropriate prize.
To carry out the paper motif still
further the supper table may be
daintily tricked out in tissue paper.
The centerpiece could be Towering
pink primrose, its pot covered in pink
tissue. Bon-bon dishes of crinkled pa
per in the same pretty tint and filed
with pink bon-bons stand at the four
corners. japanese paper napkins are
folded daintily at each cover. Ice
cream is served in tissue paper boxes
and the charming scheme carried out
in a variety of little ways.

LIE ON THE LEFT SIDE.
suggestion Which May BE Fol-
lowed with benefit In Case.
of In dixestion.

Undoubtedly for sound, healthful
sleep the best position is to lie on
the right side. 1t is a curious fac..
however, that to roll over on the left
side is quite a relief in case of in
digestion, says Medical Talk for the
Home.
Let US suppose person has gone
to bed. He is either living on his
right side or on his back. He feels
q certain amount of fullness in the
stomach and perhaps distress. If he
Is in the habit of taking a dope he
thinks at once of his dope. Some
stomachic or perhaps a cup of hot
water or may be a hot sling is
thought of.
Instead of doing any of these
things, if he will just simply roll
over on his left side he will be sur
prised how quickly belching of wind
will occur and almost complete re-
lief from the distress.
The explanation is that living on
the left side crowds the stomach.
This lessons the capacity of the
stomach and forces the gas up
through the esophagus. This will
frequently bring much relief. A
more natural and lasting relief than
any drug could have done.
Try it the next time you have any
of the throes of indigestion after &C.
ing to bed. Lie on the left side for
Is or 90 minutes and see if it does
not disappear. 1t is a very effective
remedy. 1t is a remedy that the
osteopaths would especially approve
of, as it is of a mechanical nature
and applied directly to the disease.
After the gas has been all forced
out of the stomach in this way the
sleeper can generally roll over on
his back or right side and go to sleep

FRILLS AND FANCIES.
A Few of the Attractive Features Of
the Coming Seasons
Costumes.

Pastel shades will be much worn
during the spring months, the fash
ion oracles say, and although the
pouched bolero will not be altogether
abandoned there Will be many other
styles of equal popularity to prove
formidable rivals, reports the Brook
Ign Eagle.
The princess model continues in high
favor with those who can wear this
somewhat trying type of gown, and
some exquisite evening gowns and re-
eeption costumes are being fashioned
in this style by modistes. One prin-
cess robe OF soft green velvet was re-
lieved by trimming of knotted silk

list, couturieres endeayoring to add a

Ribbon, which has occupied so con-
spicuous place in dress and millinery
garnlture during the present season,
Will continue in favor in the spring.
In addition to the standard and pastel
colorings somber effects are expected
to be much in evidence.
Examines and veilings will be the
leaders in spring fabrics. In the for
mer fancy effects and noticeably an
openwork weave resembling a check
are expected to be more in demand
than the plain materials.
Belts of gold ribbon fastened with
antique buckles of scme dull metal. set
with Persian coral, are smart and not
very costly.

TRADE REVIEW.
Prevalence Of Strikes the ONLY c,eua
ON Horizon Of Commercial and
Industrial Activity.

y
New York, April 1s.-R. G. Dun & Cos
Weekly Review Of Trade says: aside
from the prevalence Of strikes and
possibility Of further interruption to
industrial activity next month on this
account, the business outlook is most
gratifying. Late frosts caused some
damage early in the week, but low
temperature did not continue, and in
most sections agricultural products
had not advanced sufficiently to suffer
materially, while the prospects are
bright for large crops, and heavy sales
OF fertilizers testify to extensive oper-
atoms. Despite some unfavorable
weather, eastern retail trade has been
heavy, and jobbing activity in summer
fabrics indicates expectation of Wig
orous consumption as the season adj
vances. There is less complaint re-
garding deliveries due to better traffic
facilities. Railway earnings in March
increased 1873 per cent. compared with
last year, and PAL per cent. compared
with 1901.
Failures this week numbered 1917
in the United States, against 1913 last
year, and Is in Canada, compared with
10 a year ago."

The
Problem of a
Tired Mother

One of the marvels of our time
is the way in which the average
mother carries all the burdens of
social, benevolent, church and
family life.
It's no wonder that nerve
troubles attack the mother ~ how
can she help being nervous,
especially while the little ones are
so troublesome!
No woman can endure the
strain of her housework and two
or three little ones unless her
digestive powers are unusually
good. She can't manufacture force
enough to stand the strain.
We can suggest one thing that
will surely help her, and it isn't a
drug poison either. 1t is Vinol,
made by a new process from that
wonderful remedy, cod liver oil ;
it's a true tonic.
Vinol is pleasant to taste, "goes
right to the spot" nourishes and
helps the food to nourish, is splen-
did for nursing mothers and all
tired out home helpers. ! have
found it safe and good for ailing
children. With Vinlax to correct
the constipation, it has put whole
families in this place on the road
to health. Used in time, it saves
nervous breakdown. Your money
