A Stork PARTY.

Coming events cast their shadows
before, and the rustling of a stork's
wings gives the up-to-date hostess an
opportunity of giving very novel and
altogether the most attractive affair
imaginable. All the world loves a
baby, and I am sure when the little
strangers arrive, they will be all the
happier on account of the good time
their mothers had at this "stork"
luncheon.
There were four honored guests and
six intimate friends, and they had
conspired with the hostess to make
the party success. On "the" four
chairs at the table bibs were tied;
the favors were dainty celluloid Sattles

in their tills; hut "the" four plates
each bird had IA baby done up in a
small square of linen. The table CEN
terpiece was gilt cardle, with a
canopy of dotted swiss tied with pink
ribbons. Tiny pink rosebuds were
scattered over the table with maiden
hair ferns. The napkins were folded
like doll babies and were pinned with
safety pins. Candles, fairy lamps
and number of little night lamps
gave the illumination, while ADVERTISE
ments of all the baby foods adorned
the walls; these had been cut from
magazines and mounted on cardboard.
There were also numerous ads" of
go-carts, high chairs and cribs. The
menu consisted of celery soup, bread
sticks, chicken outlets, mashed pota-
toes, spaghetti and tomatoes; fruit
salad, ice cream served in round rings.
with tiny bottles labeled "paregoric,

usual accessories of nuts, bonbons and

the guests found large stork, some

were pressed. AS the parcels were
