The hinge having been completed,
the material is then spread out for the

many of fine earth. Not the least per-

newest and most appropriate cele-
bration is the spoon and bowl fete.'

mer state, just as are the stag and
"dove" parties that come later in life.
For the last time. therefore, the little
hostess or host takes meal entirely
from bowl and spoon.
Although this is, indeed, the occasion
the fete was intended to celebrate, 1t
is not limited to any such narrow
usage but is popular as a merrymak-
ing for very young children and their
mothers.
The menu for the luncheon is not
large, guests of the spoon age being
restricted in diet, and so the table need
not be elaborately set. All it requires
is a bowl, mug and spoon at each
place, and with these 1t resembles so
strongly the bears house in the woods
which the little girl found. that

Even the invitations to this unusual
fete are out Of the ordinary. Nothing
serious would happen if the usual
sheet Of invitation paper were used.

bowl with spoon behind it on stiff
paper, cut it out and write the invita-

little host or hostess on the spoon. Any
one can draw the shape, it is so simple
The writing on the bowl should read.

Among the cushions, scatter all the
toys and picture books in the house.
Set out building blocks in baskets or in
piles. Even for boys there must be
dollies, and stuffed or squeaking ami

THE HAUNTED HOUSE
By Elizabeth kirkpatrick-Age II
Years-CIass B

About a mile from the San Jacinto
Relief Hot Springs there is, on the
road to Massacre canyon, one lone
house, neglected and forsaken. There
Is a queer story connected with the
house. One night the woman living
there killed her husband and disposed
of his body in some mysterious way
She took her two children and fled over
the mountain, never to be seen again.
The Mexicans and various people
around had carried most of the fur
niture away when they found the house
was haunted. Strange noises of the
creepy sort that send chill up ones
back and make ones hair stand on
end were heard.
When we came to stay at the springs
we were of course told of the haunted
house. The people would not admit
they We're superstitious, but all the
same they We're.
One evening a party Of twenty or
thirty from the hotel started for the
house. In the party was a young lady
who said Pooh, there is no such
thing as ghost, am not afraid of
anything but a snake"
"Well, you will hear the strangest
noises you ever heard" some one said,
"if you don't nearly faint I'll give up"
well, now" the young lady replied.
Il will do this to show you I am not
afraid. l will go through every room
in the house alone"

will make up into lively creations for
dolls.
Do you know what the surplice style
is7 Grown-ups are making many OF
their dresses in that way this season
and it's a good style for dolls. 1t is
especially suitable for soft materials.

with this kind of bodice a full skirt
should be worn.
A figured material is pretty finished
only with a deep hem. A plain one
may be made more attractive by three
or four little tucks just above the
hem. Except for very large dolls ruff
fies aren't much of a success, and
they are not easy to make.
Narrow ribbon-baby ribbon-gives
an effect similar to tucks, and 1t is
easier to sew it on than to make tucks.

rows of this ribbon on the skirt and
