How to Keep Friends.

home. The lady who was left In the lurch
managed as best she could, but felt little
incensed that her affair was overlooked
and that chair of honor stood empty that
many would have delighted to ILL.,
There were all the materials for a breach
OF friendship, particularly as the lady who
failed to appear was reported as out walk
ing on the street. But being person not
given to quick Judgment the offended lady
waited In the early morning came ring
at the telephone, at the other end of the
wire a woman full of frankness and apol-
ogy. What excuse did she offer? None, ac-
tualiy none, but with honesty confessed
thar she had forgotten the engagement en-
tirely, told her distress, offered eager apol-
.cgses. begged the favor OF drive, and In
every way possible made amends The re-
suit is that the two women are dearer to
each other than before. for each feels she
has discovered good qualities Of friendship
in the other.

Novelties for Lawn Fetes.

Whether not the Japanese are to be re-
garded as the yellow peril of the coming
day, they certainly supply US with good
many artistic inspirations for the present
one What the garden party would be with
out Japanese decorations and accessories
one cannot imagine. they have become SO
indispensable to the American hostess.
In planning lawn party for these mid
summer days the hostess turns naturally to
the land of the Towering almond for sug-
gestions. If she aims at novelty the whole
affair is given a Japanese aspect through
out even to the costumes of those present.
What could be more appropriate for hot
weather wear than the comfy" flowing XII
monos of silk crepe that the little yellow
people wear so effectively? OF course, the
men might raise something of a fuss, for
there is nothing the masculine hates more
fervently than dressing up" but perhaps
even mere man would prove amenable to
persuasion il the party were held under the
protecting shades of evening.
For the Japanese lawn party the piazza
generally provides a basis for the decora-s
tive scheme Japanese mating covers the
floor and an ARRANGEMENT of Japanese um-
bretlag combined with American and Jap
anesa flags. in paper, ornaments the ceiling

poses. and when a quantity Is bought spe-
cial rates may be obtained.

expensive for the ordinary purse, with So
many other claims upon II, that the average
woman tries to get along with few when
she actually needs a goodly number.
If she have the time and ingenuity. how
ever. Il is possible TO make at least three at

than the lingerie ones. A very Freuchy lit

sists simply of a strip of picot-edged Valen-
cienneS insertion. fastened al two-inch In
tervals TO vertical supports of featherbone.
Sewn over each of these SO as to conceal
them are sprays of tiny roses made of pink
baby ribbon with simulated leaves of pale
green The price of this collar is $3.50, Yet
1t could be made by any clever needle
woman for fifty cents at the outside.
The question of neck trinkets is insepara-
BILE from that of collars. 1t is not in good
taste to wear pins or necklaces with man
nish linen stock having bow ties, but jew
eled neckets provide pretty finish for lace
stocks and stickplns or clasps are required
for collars which fasten at the back. The
most attractive of the latter those OF
Etruscan gold set with amethyst. sapphires
or tourmalines. For hot weather wear these
transparent stones are preferred to the
opaque ones, such as turquoise, malachites
and agates.

1t is a pretty custom, to present each
guest on arriving with a japanese fan--or at
an afternoon party with both fan and UNI

costing anywhere from five 10 fifty cents
apiece. which may be given away as souy-

Should the hostess prefer to emulate the
noble red man instead of the suave oriental,
the lawn may be temporarily transformed
into a miniature Indian encampment- A
near-Indian tepee looking enough like the

can be purchased already for setting up;

may be served. Navajo blankets, Indian
