ITO MAKE A SUCCESS
OF THE LAWN PARTY,

During the summer months there is
no form of entertainment so delightful
as garden party. The size of the
party must depend upon the size of the
garden. but even il some garden parties
are given on a magnificent scale there
is no reason why the smaller gardens
of the suburbs and country towns
ties.
The invitations should be sent out on
"at home" cards. and in the corner
should be written or printed whatever
special attraction is offered. such as
tennis, croquet. archery or music. The
invitations should not be issued long
in advance if the weather seems unset
tied. and as soon as the acceptances
come in catering and other arrange
ments can commence.
The reception rooms on the ground
floor should be thrown open to the
guests. The hostess should receive her
guests in the drawing room and lead
them into the garden. The refresh
ments should be arranged on buffet
table in the dining room. although in
usual to hire a marquee for the re-
freshments. Another room should be
set aside as a cloak room unless the
visitors come in their own carriages. in
which case they would leave wraps and
cloaks in the carriages and not re-
quire cloak room.
Tennis Is always popular at garden
party, but the lawn may be too small
for it. Croquet and archery do not re-
quire so much room and are always en-
joyed.
For large party military band
should be engaged, but for a small par
ty it would be ostentatious. Still. mu-
sic gives brightness to party which
nothing else can give. so for small
party it is possible to engage a piano
band or small string band or quar-
tet party.
Chairs and garden seats must be
scattered about the garden and bright
rugs and carpets spread about the
grass for young people to sit on. Alto
gether there should be sitting accom-
mediation for about half the guests, as
most prefer to walk about. and it is
always possible to retire to the draw
ing room for rest and shelter.
The catering can be put into the
hands of confectioner, who will I'M
dertake to supply light refreshments
and to lend all necessary plate. linen.
glass. china, cutlery, urns and Bullets
The refreshments are Of the very light
est kind and include only tea, coffee
lemonade, cake. biscuits, bread and
butter and berries that are in season or
fruit salads and ice cream.
The buffet should have three attend
ants. One should pour out tea, one
coffee and the other should serve the
ices, berries and cream. The remainder
of the refreshments should be arranged
on the buffet, and the gentlemen should
hand the refreshments to the ladies.
From to are the regulation hours.

I. Gigantic Fraud Exposed and .
! Money Orders Intercepted by !.
1. tho Postal Officials.
rLeslie,s Monthly for June.1

rLeslie's Monthly for June.l
One of the most typical Of the frauds
carried out through the malls was one
wherein the receiver Of the circular was
told that he was entitled to prize
which he had won from magazine
called the Mississippi Valley Planter,
published by the Mississippi Valley
Publishing Company.
The real kernel was the statement
that the recipient OF the circular was
entitled to certain prize which would
be shipped on receipt of the freight
charges. In nearly every case the adj
dressee had won premium number
seven. A horse and Lilly buggy ana
harness, valued al two hundred and
seventy five dollars" With equally
remarkable uniformity, the freight
charges were placed at twenty nine
dollars and sixty cents.
Never was bubble blown with less
actual soap. There had never peen
such concern as the Mississippi
Valley Publishing Company or such
a publication as the Mississippi valley
Planter.
The fraud order intercepted six hun
dred money orders and number OF
registered letters All these people,
with the hundreds who had come before
them. were reaching out after valuable
prizes which they, in the nature OF
things, must have known they had
never earned or even competed for.
.He has mistaken me for some one else,
but I'll take the horse and buggy just
the same" must have been the thought
which flashed through those six hun
dred heads, and it Is an unpleasant
commentary on the wickedness OF
human nature. The prime swindler
simply makes victims of men not un-
willing to be his acromplices.

The old mans voice broke. he made
an effort to say something more, but
choked up, and, with his gaze on the
ragged rug in front Of him, he sat quite
motionless except for his heaving
shoulders. George Buckley bent for
ward, his hands tightly clasping each
other. Without word he rose and
went with a steady step out into the
darkness Of the warehouse. Hillyer
heard his crunching tread as he walk
ed back and forth over the jsrain
strewn floor, and he knelt beside the
bed and tried to pray the prayer that
had rung in his old brain for thirty
years, but somehow the worn words
refused to come. George Buckley's 81
lence was against him. His long de-
layed doom lurked in the dark silence
Of the great house, and In moment
George Buckley would calmly bring it
forth and show It to him. Suddenly
from the darkness he heard a stifed
cry as Of pain: then q heavy weight
went down-George Buckley had fall
en-. A cold sweat broke out on the
merchants face. He feared he knew
not what, but he feared. Was his
doom about to show itself in a more
tragic shape than he had ever dreamed
Of its taking? He stood up and slowly
crept rather than walked to the door
Of the room. Standing there, he found
his voice and cried out:
George. are you hurt?"
His voice rang harShly through the

Buckley lying on his side behind a
great pile of corn In bags.
I'm sorry to bother you" the young
man said humbly, "but I've got my
foot caught in hole in the floor, and
can't possibly get 1t out
"Oh. Georgew the merchant gasped,
and, placing the lamp on the floor, he
raised the young man in his arms, and
together they managed to release the
imprisoned member.

of the young man still lay on the old
mans shoulder, and instead of remov-.

heard George Buckley calling to him.
"Mr. Hillyer," came in faint voice,

BALKE'S BIG BLANKET SALE
Values Being Ruthlessly Sacrificed to
 Reduce StOCk.s .-.-.

There was never before offered to the people of Phoenix or any other community such an opportunity to buy Navajo blankets as R. L. Bake, of the Big Curio store, is presenting. His stock one of the largest ever col lected anywhere is being auctiOned off in his blanket room opposite the Hotel Adams. The whole blanket stock is of course not going to be sold at this sale but all that had been kept in that par ticular blanket room is to be sold. It will be remembered that the room was opened under the charge of Theodore Shefiin, the well known Indian trader, early last fall and MT. Sheff1in expect ed to remain here for the winter and until late in the spring But recently it became necessary for him to return to his trading post and MT. Bake be- ing unable to superintend the blanket

loom and his Big Curio store decided to dispose of the blankets which had been kept there.
 In doing this he is not copying the business methods of other people but he finds it necessary to get rid of these blankets and he is doing it at a sacri- fee. This is not a picked over lot of blankets. The variety is large and is made up of many of the handsomest and best blankets ever brought from the reservation. They are being sold at remarkably low prices. Many of them are not bringing more than half their real value.
 So sure is MT. Bake of the values which he is giving his patrons now that he is making an offer that is cal culated to insure them. Who ever buys a blanket and afterward believes that he has paid too much for it will be given his money back. In case it should be discovered that a blanket has been moth eaten or otherwise damaged the purchaser will be refunded his money and also be allowed to keep the blan- ket.

The new table linens from Vienna are indeed an innovation.
 Cloths with napkins to match are woven in various coIors, pink, blue, slate, yellow, red, green and lavender.
 Then the towels, than which no prettier were ever shown, are here in many sizes and qualities, all with beautifully colored borders.
 Perhaps the most unique designs are shown in the bureau covers and doy- lies, which have handsomely coIored designs appiiqued onto the linen net of the natural ecru color. If you are thinking of presenting some one with linens, by all means see these new fancy ones, as they are entirely out of the ordinary and decidedly foreign as well.
