You Lave birthday parties, Christ
mas parties. surprise parties ard
parties cf various other kinds; now.
why not have a lef-hand party? Try
it; you will find il lots of fun.
Just before the time for the arrival
of your guests. put your right hand
in a sling and receive them in that
way. Have a sling ready for each
guest. SO that his or her right hand
may be imprisoned on arrival. A strip
of any kind of soft cloth will do for
the sling. but it would add much TO
the effect if you would select bright
colors
When all your guests have arrived
you begin your left-hand amuscments
These amusements may be of various
kinds. First, provide a sheet of paper
and a pencil for each guest, and havo
him write a certain sentence with his
left hand. They snould all write the
same sentence, and when ii is done
gather the papers and award prize
to the one that has done the best.
Then tack a broad sheet of white
paper to the wall. and have each
guest draw picture of an animal on
it, using colored crayons. For this
a prize may be offered. too.
If your party is held in the day.
time you may have mich amusement
by playing outdoor games with the
left hand. say, croquet or throwing
balls at mark or pitching Quoits.
There are mary ways in which the
sport may be varied and the awkward
efforts made with the left hand will
give the players more enjoyment than
any game played in the ordinary way.
When the sport is over ask your
guests to the reircsiment table, and
there the fun will be renewed, for
they must rely wholly on the left
hand to help them in eating.

Embroidered Gowns.

The fad for embroidered gowns
brings many pretty fancies to the fore
and a woman who has an artistic sense
and is clever with her neea.c can beau
tify her cotton gowns in any number
of effective ways.
Here, for instance is suggestion
for wash cambric that is simple. and
yet has a wonderfully pretty effect:
Make shirt waist costume of white
linen cambric, plating both the waist
and skirt. and then over the plaits
around the neck, across the bust, and
just below the hips place three gar
lands of colored flowers. Make them
in this way:
u Take wash ginghams OF the cclors
reqnired-say pale green and pale
pink-cut five petaled flowers of the
latter and heart shaped leaves of the
former. then, apart from the dress,
buttonhole stitch the edges with
coarse wash silk. This will make a
substantial trimming which may then
be sewed on the material in the way
suggested. connecting stems and ten
drills can be put in running stitch
afterward with the green embroidery
silk.

Wells for the Country.

Wells of white chiffon set off with a
narrow border of black chiffon are
among the novelties. The wells are
wide enough to cover the entire face
and descend below the chin. This is
necessary to prevent the branded
look which soiled black veil border
produces when the line passes across
the mouth or chin, a positive distigure-
ment to the wearer. These affairs are
styled "Broadwalli Neils,' but they
may be worn at country villages and
at springs" and mountain resorts far
from the coast.
