AN AMUSING PIE PARTY.
After Partners for Evening Dis- tributed Pass Pieces of Paper Plates
 Labeled as to Pie Filling.

Invitations for pie party were sent out on triangular pieces of cardboard to six couples, all intimate friends. When the guests arrived the men were auctioned of by the host. who was ex. ceedingly clever. The Doctor" was introduced on the block in this man ner: "A man often wanted. though much addicted to the bottle" The bid. ding was fast and furious and 25.00e beans brought the man to his purchas. CT. The coal dealer was described aa the man we think about when the snow flies" When all had secured partners the ladies were given pieces of pie made from two pieces of paper pie plates (such as bakers useD. fasten- ed together with ribbon. The filling was a piece of paper bearing the words "Chsrry.' "Mince." Apple" Gus tard." Whatever pie was designated the man had 10 give a recipe for il while the lady made it in pautomims This was most amusing. For refresh ments all kinds of pie were served, with coffee and sandviches.-Madams Merri.

Conn. to the New York Times After the dinner be expressed his views on some public matters in his characteristic manner.
 How much longer shall We be con tent to be the smartest race of alarmed fools that ever existed:" he asked, add ing:
 If this country was administered on business principles. without regard to politics. We would soon own or control everything in the world that is worth owning or controlling. and, that with out firing anything but a commercial shot. The country suffers vastly more from the acts of its lawmakers than the acts of its lawbreakers in impeding commerce, in discriminating in taxa tion and in uncivilizel methods of finance.
 The stock speculators of Wall street have been accused by financial editors of being the cause of high money rates. The statement Is absurd. Wall street is the heart of this cOuntry's financial system. Back of it are the veins and arteries which quicken or retard it's pulsations The fault is with our currency system. Wall street is m mOrn cha-geabIe for tho high rates nf interest than are the hands of clock responsible for the marking of time"

A MoTHER-coosE PARTY.
Guests, Who Are 0rown-Ups, in Cos tune and Everything Suggestive
 of Beloved Childhood Rhymes.

A Mother Goose party for grown ups is very amusing affair, and it's success depends. upon everyone enter ing into the spirit of the occasion. The hostess is the "Oid Woman Wio Lived in the Shoe" and the guests arc her many children.
 The host may be Old King Cole" !" If desirable, masks may be worn for the first part of the evening. The characters are so many in Mother Goose" that there should be no dupli- cates
 For refreshments serve "tarts," and great big pie decorated with black birds, also a smaller pie containing the historic ''plums.' which in this case will be bonbon5
 For room decorations make posters illustrating Mother Goose" subjects; they will be very effective. Of course the Little Boy Blue will come with his white ''woolly sheep" and his horn. The owl" and the pussy cat" who went to sea in the pea green boat" can be done by wearing animal masks. It is not necessary to describe the cos tunes, for a Mother Goose book with colored pictures will be the only guide necessary.
 A prize may be given for the best costume. and may consist of Father Goose book.

Card Party Refreshments.

This very pretty color scheme was carried out in serving the refresh ments at a card party. After the game was finished. the guests retained their seats: dainty lace and em- broidered cloths were spread over, the tables, and candles of either red, green or yellow were placed on each table. according to the color decoration of the room.
 In the green room delicious fruit salad was served in green apple shells; a sandwich of brown bread, cut cres- cent shape. and round sandwich of white bread with two olives were on the plate. In the red room the salad was served; from red apples, while in the yellow room oranges hollowed out held the salad. There were salted nuts and tutti frutti ice cream served in tall glasses.

 No. l has chiffon draped round the top of bodice and puffed out we'll on the top of arm:- the drapery is caught in at each side and in center front by a ring formed of ruches of plaited rib bon edged with the tiniest lace; the color of chiffon and ribbon must, of course, be selected to accord with the dress it is to trim.

 Tn. which case the treasure would remain in the possession of the castle ' -..You speak like a-book of Euclid returned, after a pause. And now, captain, let me ask in my turn what proposition are you making to meT
 He considered for a moment. There are three of you,' he said. But con fess cannot reckon my friend Mont gomery. Let us say two, then. am willing to go halves with you. In which case, as you will see, there is a quarter for yourself"
 You would beuay your associates" i" l said dryly. .-
 Pardon me-. said the captain, we are not here to pass criticisms on mor- als. And, if 1t comes to that. what are we all: I see no pin prick between US. I do not invite your conclusions on my conduct I have the honor to make you proposal"
 The rascal leaned back in his chair and watched me with a curious air of satisfaction. Indeed, bis complacency was well grounded, and could not but admit to myself that he was making me handsome offer. His distrust or his fear of Hood was stronger than his greed, and it was to that we owed this unexpected intercession when fate had turned clean against us. Here was I, a prisoner and with no possibility of escape. The treasure lay at the mercy of these ragabonds. and even at this moment the pieces might be slipping through Hoods loving fingers. Assur- edly l should be fool, I thought, to refuse Sercombe'S compromise. He must certainly have made the proposal in good faith. for all I was invited to do was to surrender the key. key which could be of no possible use to him now that the subterranean en- trance 10 the dungeon had been dis covered. I withdrew it from my pock- ct. He nodded confdentially.
 That is all ask he said.

 If I give it." I replied, you may depend upon it. You will warn my companions:' I asked.
 II will see that they pay a visit to their prisoner" said he, ''and I reckon they will want little warning after that"
 You may take the key" said after pause. But at that moment a slight sound as of soft feet upon the creaking stairway reached us. Sercombe whit ened visibly and looked uneasily at the door.
 It is better that should leave you now" he said hurriedly. We can set tie this tomorrow morning And, showing clear signs of discomposure, he left the barn.

The host wore peruke and a black bow on his white wig; he was, of course, hailed as ''the Father of His Country" The hostess was Martha" !" with powdered hair dressed in smooth bands and high shell comb.

A Tin Wedding.

Ten years brings the tin wedding. and the very jolliest kind of a time may be arranged by the couple who wish to celebrate this anniversary. Invite ten guests or more, but usually the few tried and true. make the most agreeable company tor an informal evening. The invitations are written on cards and envelopes bound with 2 very narrow tin band. Now for the decorations. which are wonderfully ef- fective in the evening when the gas is lighted. Get the tinsmith to save all his tin shavings. and wind these pretty spirals around the chandeliers; hang them as drapery from the grills. over the curtains and every place they will hang.
 At trifiing expense wedding bell can be made of tin under which the couple will stand to receive congratu- lations. A bouquet for the bride, tied with white ribbon, boutonniere for the groom. with hair ornaments, also bracelets and rings. may all be made of tin. Serve refreshments from a tin decorated table.
 This is good menu to serve. and a little out of the ordinary: Creamed fish. or chicken in tin ratty pans. sand wiches. olives and coffee in tin cups: small cakes ornamented with silvered candies; chocolate bonbons and cigars wrapped in tin foil, Cider or a fruit punch may be served from a punch bowl concealed in huge tin pan; use a dipper for a ladle. In choosing partners for supper pass tin stars, dia- monds. squares. etc, which have been cut in half. When the pieces are matched, partners are found.
