For a House Party.

This is the season when weekend
parties are enjoyed; this novel amuse-
Inent was provided by clever hostess
for a jolly house party which she en-
tertained from Saturday to Monday.
After the dinner, which was prolonged
beyond the usual time allotted, the men
all being so glad to get away from the
hurry of the city, they went into the
large living room and the six mascu-
line members of the party were given
boxes containing cut calico strips and
told to find the girl whose aprons
matched their material the young
women had worn the aprons at dinner
and greatly excited the curiosity OF
the other sex.
The hostess gave each one thin
BILE, coarse thread and needle, saying
that she was greatly in need of rugs
and the man who first sewed his al
lowance of rags into neat ball should
be rewarded by being made head

following refreshments:

BATHING IN THE DEAD SEA.
BY No Means Pleasure. According
to One Traveller.

mo sooner has one plunged into
the water than one Is whipped of
ones feet and goes bobbing helplessly
about like a wretched cork" says Rev.
Haskell Smith of bathing in the Dead
sea. TN the effort to regain ones
footing and to get back to shore, ones
feet and shins are barked by the
Jagged stones and pebbles, and when
at length one does emerge from its
treacherous bosom, with the lower
limbs bleeding and torn, one becomes
aware of horrible tingling and burn
Ing sensation In eyes, ears, nostrils,
mouth and almost every pore Of the
skin, from the brine and bitumen
which have penetrated everywhere.
UNLESS great care is taken the
bather in the Dead sea is liable to an
eruption, which breaks out all over
his body, and which is commonly
known as the Dead sea rash The
best antidote to this is to hurry across
as quickly as possible to the river Jor-
dan and take second plunge therein.
The soft and muddy waters Of that
sacred but dirty stream will effectual-
ly remove the salt that has incrusted
the body"

In connection with its withdrawal

the new law which requires that 1870
of the reserves on Texas policies shall
be invested in securities of that state,
which securities shall be deposited in
the state and subjected to heavy taxa
ton, in addition to the large tax now
imposed on life insurance premiums.
the Equitable Life Assurance Society
has made public the distribution of it's
assets, at the end of the second year
OF the new management. The EQuit-
able now has $10,95S, 900 invested In
Texas, which is twice as much as the
new law requires, but the manage
ment decided that to submit to the
additional taxation would be an injus-
tice to its policyholders in other
states, which impose no such penalty
on the thrift of their citizens.
The Equitable's report shows that
more than 37To of it's total reserves
are now invested in the southern and
western states, while only $3.50 Of its
total insurance is carried in these
states. It's investments are distributed

BLOUSE AS 1T SHOULD BE.
Little Things to Remember II One
Would Be Correct.

The blouse does not blouse so much
this year. There is less fulness In
front. as there is in all bodice models
this season.
Many afternoon toilettes, especially
when in velvet, have bodices to match
the skirt. Others show the lace
bodice with stray or bretelle like ar
rangement over the lace and then the
coat matching.
The same careful attention to de-
tail. the same perfect fit, and correct
lines required in the most pretentious
creation are exacted of the separate
waist, to be wholly in vogue for the
coming season.
The girdle, too, is an important
factor. It,is generally made of soft.
pliable silk, is about three inches
wide in the back and five in front.

slide of that depth, or else is kept in
shape by two bones set about an inch
