Day Is the Same.

This affair was arranged by a hostess
always on the "qui-vive" for something
new. And 1t all came about by a friend
remarking: my birthday is on the same
day as Queen Alexandra's," and Mine II
on Queen Victoria's," said another. So
the young hostess evolved a plan which
resulted in her asking "a Of her friends
to spend the evening with her and she
asked each n to represent in some
way a person whose birthday fell ON
the same date as his OF her own.
In the assembly on the night appoint
ed was found a most illustrious COM
pany. There was Jenny Lind" Mar
tina Washington" Mozart" "Longfel-
low" "Alice Roosevelt" miles Stand
ish," "Mrs. Cleveland" etc. Each per-
son told some story or anecdote of the
person she represented.
A hugh birthday cake was the table
centerpiece and toasts were given and
healths drank by this very lively com
pany and all pronounced the occasion
most enjoyable.

PRETTY cHILD's r r
Games Played, Good old-Fashioned
Ones, a Jardieniere of Treasures,
Kindergarten Chairs Used.

Ali mothers are interested In parties
for children, and the wee tots seem
to be entering the social whirl mt q
very tender age, or this description Of
a three-year-old's birthday celebration
may not come amiss.
The invitations were issued on the
attractive stationery prepared for
children, some of the designs being es-
pecially good. After the IL guests had
assembled, the fret thing on the pro-
gramme was simple games, such as
London Bridge" "Ths Farmer" and
Here We go Round the Mulberry
Bush," played to music, with a young
lady to assist in the leading.
Then a circle was formed and a
large jardIniere flied with all sorts
Of odd-shaped parcels was placed In
the center. Ono child at a time was
blindfolded and allowed to take q
package from the jar. The opening
of these packages caused much joy.
There were toys of all kinds and q
ball for the youngest guest. The
hours were from three to five, and
promptly at four the dining-room
doors were opened, revealing a low,
round table (made from one of the
tops" TO the mothers dining-tablel
and IL red kindergarten chairs. Theirs
were large Chinese lanterns hanging
from the ceiling, making a beautifully
soft light. The birthday cake with
three candles was the centerpiece.
Plain bread and butter sandwiches,
with small cups of cocoa, were served
first, followed by vanilla ice cream in
ramekins. There were cunning little
rosebud place cards and small red pa
per dishes holding hard little candies,
which were made of pure strip. Each
child received a dainty ~cornucopia Of
paper filed with popcorn to take home.

Not So Far Out of the Way.

During Gov. Rollins administration
a representative to the legislature OF
New Hampshire from one Of the rural
districts in the northern section of tho
state was presented to the governor
for the first time. Being somewhat,
unfamiliar with Estate house ETH
quette," he addressed his Excellency
as most high"
The governor informed the gentle
man from the rural district that there
was but one Most High" HE who had
made everything from nothing"
well governor" replied the coun-
try legislator. 'Tn give you credit
for making q Justice Of the peace out

On the day of a Chinese marriage
unlimited friends and neighbors, or
even perfect strangers, are allowed to
come in and see the bride, and they
may make any remark about her. or
to her, they please. Sometimes things
horribly rude and disgusting are said.
To try her temper a man will say:
Fetch your husband a cup of tea"
If she does SO, all will say jeerinely:
What an obedient vito you are!" II
she sulks and does not do as she 10
told, they remark: "That is a pretty
vixen with which to begin married life.
We cannot congratulate you on that

A Fudge Party.

A correspondent requests SUCCESS
tons for a Fudge party for a crowd
of boys and girls between the ages of
IA and IL.
This can be made the %jolliest sort
OF an evening. There are three vari-
cites of fudge hat are especially good,
nut, maple and chocolate, and three
girls should be appointed to make
these, with a lad 10 assist each cook.
If chatting dishes are used, the candy
could be made in the dining-room, but
they will probably enjoy it more right
out into the kitchen. Provide aprons
for the workers, caps for the boys as
well as the girls. The hostess will
have all she wants to do to superin-
tend this undertaking, and she should
have all the Ingredients ready, but
the nuts may be left for some good
natured lad to crack.
The addition Of marshmallows to the
chocolate fudge will be found an i'm
provement. Have the recipe for each
variety written of and given to the
cook" Provide confectionery boxes,
with waxed paper. SO that each guest
may have a sample to take home.
After all this sweetness, you should
serve a direct opposite for dessert; so
l would suggest potato salad, cheese
sandwiches, olives and coffee or cider.
If you can arrange for it, part of the
company could she'll and pop corn,
and then you would find a very &C
ceptable addition.

When all the loved ones have retur ned,
Their long vacations DER.
How happy the reunion is,
How glad to meet, and greet;
How thankful all are safely back,
The circle still complete.
Sui II. All me on coming home,
When summer days are done,
We miss from the accustomed place
A dear familiar one.
How sorrowful the meeting then,
How full Of grief, and pain.
And longing for the vanished form,
That ne'er will come again.
God pity all such homes that bow
In mourning o'er their dead,
And grant that every wounded heart
BE soothed and comforted.

Is rent for evermore,
Give ZACH a happy coming home
