course, everything that has to be done
outside Of regular routine brings ID
Dor. but what Is the difference as long

brighter and happier? There are so
many commonplace days that every
opportunity for keeping special or feS-

tight Invitations which request the
girls as Fairies" will result in a most
charming entertainment.
Dancing is the best amusement with
games played and music. There SHOULD
be an older person TO direct the music,
as well as some one TO preside at the
piano. Songs the children know are
always enjoyable. Provide a generous
supply OF lemonade, TO which access
may be had during the evening, for

be used. The candle shades were all

A CERTAIN GIRLS CLUB.
Clever Custom Observed TO Have Co.'S

A club of girls from l6 to 90 have
q rather clever custom. They meet
once in two weeks and so far they have
worn the costume and had the refresh
ments partake of the character OF The
topic Of the evening. There Is a 90
minute paper, then the balance OF the
time is devoted to soclability and a
good time generally. The dues are ten
cents a member and this sum Is kept
on hand for little charitable acts. A
bouquet Is sent TO hospital for some
charity patient; groceries are delivered
to needy family. They have had a
japanese night, mock wedding, n
ghost party, an Old Maid" evening,
at which all were attired as spinsters,
and the paper gave excellent reasons
why one might be bachelor maid,
and how to be happy though single.
Occasionally the men are asked, as
when the Dutch lunch was given. The
honor is considered very great, as The
girls conduct their meetings with much
secrecy. All live In the neghborhood.

der of infants and adults, by tricky
makers OF food, drink and drugs to go on
