4 Floral Card Party.

A new idea for progressive card
parties given for charity. is to give
prizes Of potted plants and keep the
score with flowers. either carnations,
roses, or some blossom that Toes not
wilt quickly. Invitations are SEM for
a floral progressive card party" on
cards cut in the shape Of a flower.
JonQuils, tulips, m%arguerites and roses
lend themselves admirably to the
scheme. TO the winners pass vases
containing the score flowers. At the
finish everyone will possess at least
one or more of the fragrant reminders
OF their good luck. The ice cream may
be nodded in floral shapes, and the
small cakes ornamented with candy
roses. crystali2cd violets and rose
leaves may be mixed with the bon
bons. Each guest Is supposed to con
ribute % or 80 cents, whichever sum
Is agreed upon, to the charity for
which the party is given.

The Paper Wedding.

The first anniversary of the we'd
ding day brings the jOlliest kind OF a
celebration, the paper" wedding. Very
pretty tablecloths and napkins come
In paper. so they are Just the thing for
the dining-room table. II these are not
~obtainable, get plain white paper and
make a border OF the lace paper used
for pantry shelves. Use paper flowers
in decorating, and beautiful pOrtieres
and %draperics can be made by cut
ting crepe paper int strips and hang
ing it from grills, doorways and over
the lace curtains. The invitations may
be Enclosed in tiny Japanese lanterns
and delivered by messengers, or they
may be sent by post in the ordinary
way.

NEW RULES OF ARITHMETIC
Queer Difficulties Encountered by
Mathematic!ans Of q Gen.
Grafton Ago.

Parents who undertake to assist
their children in the preparation o
their school lessons encounter some
queer difficulties, says the New YOri
Press. Long division, for instance. pre-
SCENTS stumhlirG blocks that trip up thc
wisest minds Of q generation ago. In
that |benightcd age youthful students OF
arithmetic were taught that in an eX-
ample in long division the divisor was
placed at the left Of the dividend, the
1uotient on the right. while the re-
mainder was written at the end OF the
uuotient. Old fogies who have dropped
hepelessly behind the times now at
tempt TO introduce those a~ntiquated
methods when tutoring their offspring,
but the youngsters scornfully correct
them.
''Oh, that isn't right" they explain.
You mus, put it down this way"
Then. according TO present-day in
struction, they put the quOtient above
the dividend and set the remainder in
The little croOl, on the right formerly
occupied by the luotient. Before these
eccentricities Of modern education the
parent SITS amazed and helpless, trying
to prepare himself for the next innOva'
ton, which will probably be TO make
the figures upside down.

babe them arise. and he told them he
had only done these things to show

over his children. and now he would

go OF the best Indians. and 20 OF the
best squaws. to join our great show,

in two weeks to take the road. The
Indians were delighted, and began to
quarrel about who should go with the
show, and to quiet them pa said he
wanted to shake hands with all or
them, and they lined up, and pa. took
the strongest wire attached to the bat
terry in his pistol pocket. and let IL
run up under his Goa and down his
sleeve. into his right hand, and that
was the way he shook hands with
them. I thought I would die laughing.
Pa took a position, like a president at
a New Years reception, and shook
hands with the tribe one at a time.
The old chief came first. and pa
grasped his hand tight. and the chief
stood on his toe and his knees
knocked together. his teeth chartered,
and he danced \ ran can while pa held
on to- his hand and squeezed, but he
finally let go and the chief wiped his
hand on a dog, and the dog got some

everybody, and they all went through

seemed to get more electricity than the

them all with his magic wand, and
then they prepared q feast and cele-

spurs to his pony and we rode across
the mesa, looking for other worlds to
conquer.
On the way to the ranch where we
were to meet tho cowboys and engage
enough to make the show a success,
the cowboy pa had along told pa that
il might be easy enough to fool Indians
with the freat father dodge, and the
electric battery. and all that. but when
he struck "A mess of cowboys he would
find q different proposition. cause he
couldn't fool cowboys a little bit. He
said II pa was going to hire cowboys.
he had got tc be a cowboy himself, and
ii he couldn't rope steers he would
have to learn, cause cowboys, II they
were to lie led in the show by pa,
would want him to lie prepared to rope
anything that had lou feet. Pa said
while he didn't claim TO be an expert,
he had done some roping, and could
throw a lasso. and while he didn't al
ways catch them by the feet, when he
tried to, he got the rope over them
somewhere, and il the horse he rode
kne" its business he ultimately got
his steer. and he would be willing tn
show the boys what he could do.
We got to the COW camp In time for
dinner. and our cowboy introduced pa
to the cowboys around the chuck wag-
on, and told them pa was an old COW
boy who had Travelled the Texas trail
years ago, and was one OF the best
horsemen in the business, a manager
OF n show that was adding a wild west
department and wanted to hire 40 OF
norc of the best ropers and riders. at

the child was obliged to pactice,

was wooden and spiritless. In
despair, her mother said to her,
What do you expect to be
