An autumn bride-elect was the guest

The hostess asked eight of her special
friends for the hours between three. and
six o'clock. At the top OF the invita-

the request for the recipe of a favorite

Two choice cuts Of energy,
And eggs of hard cold caste;
Add freely oil 'diplomacy, .,
With salt of tact a dash.
Bedeck with leaves OF cheer1ulness'
And pepper we'll with nerve;
Behold your salad of success is ready;
Stir and serve.
After all the guests had arrived, eacn
one was ushered separately into the H.

been provided, with good black ink ana

pen and ink drawings of the new house.

For Sweet Charity.

A literary club of 80 members wished
to make some money for special char
ity. so they devised and carried out this
very clever scheme. Thirty baskets
were purchased at wholesale, and each
lady took one and filled it with the most
delicious supper that she could prepare.
Her card was placed inside and the top
covered with tissue paper, then tied
down with ribbon. Invitations were
sent to 80 men, asking them to come to
an auction supper" on such an evening,
giving the address and hour
On arriving each man was required to
bid for basket: on opening it, he was
to find the lady whose card was con-
cealed in the basket. Tea. coffee, choc-
olate and napkins (paper ones) were
provided also small tables and folding
chairs. There were ices and creams
which could be purchased at so much a
plate.
The men entered into the spirit of the
affair, and declared it was the jolliest
charity party they ever attended. There

A Quaker Tea PARTY,

A jolly set of girls were deploring
the dilapidated condition of their
wardrobes, after the summer at various
resorts, and were wondering how they
could get ready for an AFTERNOON" for
a strange girl whom they wished to do
special honor. They solved the prob
lem by issuing invitations for a
Quaker tea party" The guests were
asked to come attired as "Quaker-
esses." All persons we're to be ad-
dressed by their first names and there
would be penalty imposed if the pro-
nouns thee" and thou" were not
used exclusively. 1t is needless to say
that it as most enjoyable afternoon,
and the girls looked so bewitching in
their plain skirts, snowy kerchiefs and
simply dressed hair, that some of the
men who "just dropped in," said they
wished that style might become the
fashion. These wholesome refresh
ments were served, gold banded white
china and perfectly plain silver spoons
being used: Chicken salad, tiny hot
biscuit, custard in old-fashioned
glasses, with brown crusty sponge
cake, tea and coffee.

ing to see what some defect of vision

or some judicious treatment, is pretty
sure to nip it in the bud. Carriage
is most essential in a girl. People
take us at our own valuation. and a
woman who walks and holds herself
like q queen gets the homage which
women love. To some endued wlth
natural grace a good carriage comes
naturally, but they are few and far be-
tween. Direction and care are neces-
sary, and reap their own reward. NO.
house should be without some kind
of exerciser, which, for not too long a.
time, should form part of the daily du-
ties when rising. 1t is criminal Tor
parents and guardians to neglect the
care of the skin, the hands, and the
figure of their children. The young
people can hardly have too much fresh
air or exercise, but they need not let
the skin be burned up by the sun, or
the hands be spread by too much ex-
ercise. Girls should not be allowed to-
eat anything and everything, whether
good for their complexion or not. Too
much better too little cream and milk,
to much meat e1d hot cakes, and quick
eating all initiate against beauty OF
form and face. Over exposure to the;
winds Of heaven should be avoided.

Preside ana the family group by the
simple method Of the scrap-book.

81 i 4 i. <
Cartoon and Caricature.
The cartoon, as q weapon OF war, or
an adjunct to peace, has reached con-
spicuous prominence. With few rap
i'd strokes, by an ingenious and simple
composition, by few strong contrasts
and vivid effects, the cartoonist tells q
story in picture.
He makes men laugh.
He makes men furious.
His pictures are battles or sermons.
He is like the kings jester in motley,
whose sallies were yelled truths, that
lnasquerades as folly, but strikes home.
The fun, the wit. the cleverness, the
guile, the art of the noted cartoonists
and caricaturists are patent to the
most ignorant amateur and delightful
to any unprejudiced critic.
Twenty years hence, scrap-book
devoted to to-day's cartoons will pos
sess an interest and value not to be es'
timated by the men of the present.
Reader. whoever and wherever you
are, begin your art scrap-book to-mor'
row morning.

CHILDREN AND BEAUTY.
From Children's Earliest Years Par.
ents Should See After Appear
ance as Well as Health.

1t happens to all Of us to notice a
failure in good looks, and often in
health, solely due to want of care in
youth. Children are allowed, for ex.
ample, to go about with their hair
hanging over their faces, so that they
lose portion of their eyebrows, or.
at all events, spoil the appearance Of
these aids to beauty, the same re-
suit accruing If the fringe is allowed
to droOp too low. In the case OF
weak eyebrows, their growth can be
greatly encouraged by brushing with
soft brush; this does world of
good. No one under any circum-
stances, young or old, should cut the
eyebrows, but many who boast Of the
prettiest arched ones and of the full
est growth owe this to the excellent
habit of combing them from the side
of the face towards the nose. This
is very good for them, and will often
thicken them. Vaseline and fatty
creams are beneficial for the actual
eyebrows, but the danger is they may
be allowed to go beyond, and so en-
courage the growth of supertluous
hairs.
The parents of the last 30 years have
learned the Importance of seeing that
any undesirable growths in the nose
should not be allowed to strengthen,
but be at once treated by surgeon.
They are the fruitful source of ear,
throat, and even eye trouble if neglect
ed, as they so often have been in days
gone by.
Nowadays no child should be al.
lowed to display q snub nose or a
misshapen one. The cartilage is SO
soft in early youth that massage will

With incredible swiftness in day or

books which preserve for future refer
ence the best in the newspapers and

OF discussion.
Various devices of this kind are sold
at the stationer's: Envelopes that are
labeled for different clippings, books;
that are arranged with appropriate
headings, and properly interleaved,
but, for practical purposes, an ordi-
nary blank-book, and a pair of scis-
sors, with good supply of paste, plus
brains, are all-sufficient.
The most fascinating scrapbooks |
nave ever seen are those of a
friend, who for years has never laid
aside newspaper without cutting out
the poems, the anecdotes, the reports
of discoveries and inventions, the
quips and jests, and the serious arti-
cles that have interested her. With
! out much method, this lady has daily
pasted her store Of selections, culled
from many sources, on the pages Of
school-composition books, or occa-
sionally in diary, with it's dates of
months and days and weeks When
she has secured for herself the cora
of paper, she throws it away, or
leaves it for the cook to kindle the
! kitchen fire. Her net result is charm
ing miscellany. just the chance collec-
tion into which, like the immortal
Jack Horner, you put in your thumb,
and you pull out a plumb.

ure of convalescence, or rainy even

ment, this unsystematic and irregular
