UNIQUE Collar Box.

Another useful present is the collar
box. A new style has a tiny box set
in the middle of the top, for the re-
ception of collar buttons and cuff
links. To make one, cover a wide
band of pasteboard with silk and sew
the edges together Make a smaller
band in the same fashion and then
cut circle of cardboard to fit the
bottom of the larger band, cover that
and sew the smaller band to the CEN
ter of the bottom and the larger one to
the edges. The collars fit around one
and the cuffs around the other circle
The cardboard must be stiff enough to
keep it's shape.
A lid is made by cutting a circle a
shade larger than the bottom, cover
ing that and a narrow band to sew
around it's lower edge, and then sink
ing small round or square box in the
middle. A small cover fer this is
made and sewed in one spot and tied
with bow, which forms hinge, and
little brass knob, or fancy button,
tied with a bow, forms handle to the
top.

An ORANGE Party Plan.

Have you ever given an orange
party? 1t is curious and amusing
from the very start, as each guest is
requested to bring an orange, which
request, being accompanied by no ex-
PLANTATION, is quite puzzling, and there
fore gives an added interest right at
the beginning.
Usher each arrival into the dining
room, where they are received by the
orange aid committee" whose first
duty is to aid you in registering -FOUR
orange and tying a ribbon marked By
letter around it, so you may identity
it later.
Then all the guests assemble in the
dining room, while the committee con-
tinues with its work, which is to count
the seeds. Each orange is cut in half,
the seeds are extracted, and, after be-
ing counted and duly credited to the
owner as entered on the register, hey
are put into transparent glass bowl.
Now the guests partake of a repast
composed of every conceivable form
OF orange you can think of-sliced
oranges, orange ice, orangeade, orange
favored candy, etc.-after which you
announce that prize will be offere1
to the one who guesses nearest to the
number of seeds in the bowl, and a
BOBBY prize given to the poorest guess

Sometimes the pressure from one or
at most two prongs is sufficient for
this. The toothpick should be insert
ed from the inside of the v, like a
tongue, between the fork handles. The
other end of the toothpick should then
be lodged in the mouth of a pitcher
which is high enough to allow the
handles Of the dependent forks to
clear the table.
With nothing to hold it, the single
toothpick will then support the two
forks without tipping or breaking. a
feat most puzzling to the ordinary
spectator and most fruitful source
Of speculation and animated discus

most any variety containing a mod

would not advise a watermelon party,
as then the committee would have to
spend week or SO counting the seeds.

How Animals Turn Robbers.

Animals-some Of them--have a
curious way of joining together and
robbing other animals.
A traveller tells good story of a
highway robbery committed on a
heron by three black rogues, aided by
a couple of dishonest followers in
black and white.
The heron had gone a-fishing, ana
had caught and eaten an eel and some
smaller fry. On his way home he
was accosted by a carrion crow and
two hooded crows, and requested to
stand and deliver his hard-earned SUD-
per, the magpies waiting to see if they
could get any profit out of the nefari-
GUS business. They were sleeping
partners in the firm. Driving the
heron to an open space between two
woods, the crows came to close quar-
tiers with their victim. One struck at
his head from above, while another
pecked at his side The third seized
him by the feet, which are thrust out

had fought and one of them was
killed. The body was inferred with
out a post mortem to determine the
cause OF death. A policeman and a
physician were dispatched to. the Koo-
lau district, where the murdered man
had been buried, to ascertain the
cause OF death. The body had been
buried for several days. Efforts were
made to induce some Of the natives
to help disinter the remains, but all
refused.
The superstition attending the
touching Of a bodv,that had once been
buried was too strong. Finally one
OF the men, Ku, was given copious
drinks Of liquor and induced to help
disinter and handle the body during
the post norton.
The natives gaZed in horror on their
former companion and neighbor. AT
ter the officials had left and the body
had been reinterred, Ku discovered
that he had done an awful thing. He
was from that time an outcast. His
