TEDDY BEAR PARTY
Description of Entertainment That
Greatly Pleased Number OF
Small Children.

In spite of the protestations against
the "Teddy" bears, they seem to be
Just as popular as ever. At a party
for small children between the ages OF
six and ten that was given recently,
the girls were asked to bring their
dolls and the boys their Teddy bears.
And such a merry crowd. All the
dolls had on their best bibs and tuck
ers and the bears were adorned by
huge neck ribbons, and in some in
stances were dressed in funny little
coats and trousers.
1t was only the other day that 1 dis
covered some funny diminutive gar
ments at a shop and exclaimed,
what cute pajamas for doll1es,
when the salesman said, Madam,
those are clothes for Teddy bears"
1 thought to myself, Madame Merri,
you'll have to get up much earlier in
the morning if you are going to keep
up with this generation of children"
Well, to go back to the party. The
children played house" come to
see" and "store." The hostess was
wise in asking two young misses
about Is to assist at this affair, their
childhood not being so very far back
in the dim, distant past; they were
cup" on childish games and entered
enthusiastically into make believe"
and "just pretending" The refresh
ments were served at small tables,
there was a chair for each dolly and
bear, much to the delight of the re-
spective owners. Tiny round moulds
of jellied chicken were served with
round sandwiches cut out with the
cover of baking powder box. There
were sailed nuts and vanilla ice cream
with hot chocolate sauce and delicious
sunshine cakes ornamented with
blanched almonds and cherries.
The souvenirs were candy boxes in
shape of various fruits filled with
sugar peppermints.
The dolls and bears had small bask-
cts filled with opera sticks and each
had quaint cap of tissue paper. the
folded Japanese napkins were used.

LAYING A CEMENT WALK.
How the Farmer Can Do the Work for
Himself.

Farmers requiring walks about their
homes will find nothing so practical
as cement walks-hygienic, because
beautiful, because uni
form and artistic in finish; durable,
because harder than stone; and at the
same time cheaper than sawed stone
or any other good sidewalk material
In many cities ordinances require that
in the better quarters nothing but &C.
ment walks can be laid.
What has been found true in the
city will prove equally true in the
country. Like everything else, the
quality of the walk will depend large
ly on the skill used in the selection
of materials and laying the walk.
The farmer who can find sand and
gravel near, which he can often get
for the hauling, and who could do his
own work at some not over busy time,
would be at no money outlay for the
walk but the cost of cement, which
would not exceed 21a cents per square
foot of first-class four-inch thick
walk, as one barrel of Portland cement

SUGGESTIONS FOR FARMERS.

When you make potato crates, OF
buy them, see to it that the Stats are
not so far apart that small potatoes
will slip through.
Where there is a spot of quack
grass on your farm, cover it with
straw and burn 1t. This will do much
toward killing the roots Of the grass.
Portland cement is good for stop
ping leaks in a water pipe when the
latter is under the ground. Shut off
the pressure, pour grout over the leak,
let it harden, and all is well.
If tooth is out of a rake, or If any
other tool needs mending when its
work is finished for the season, make
it a business to replace the missing
part before you put the tool away.
Then it will be ready when next you
need it.
A narrow strap tackled to the handle
of the corn knife in the form of
loop, will relieve the hand greatly
when you are cutting corn. 1t is pref
ty hard work to grip bare handle all
day. Hurts the wrist and makes it
lame for days and days.
Some things that every farmer
should have: Old fashioned glue; a
soldering iron and good solder; few
small cans of paint of different colors;
a good pair of pinchers; a sharp
knife; some sewing thread and
needles, together with bit of sewing
wax; and last but not least, the dispo-
sition to learn to use these things.
Did you try cultivating part of your
corn shallow and part deep? If SO, you
nave found out that shallow cultiva-
ton pays best. The big folks of the
experiment stations agree with you in
that. But your Investigations are
worth much, because they are yours;
and what we dig out ouselves we
know and have faith in.-Farm

The Use of CoIoqne.

The most inveterate hater Of per-
fumes could not overlook the real use
fitness of cologne or some good toilet
water. The beauties of ancient times
who reveled in aromatic baths, knew,
better than many moderns, the re-
freshment to tired nerves to be found
in this practice. If you have not yet
been educated quite up to the stand
ard of an entire aromatic bath, the
next time you come in hot and tired
from a days shopping try spraying
yourself with cologne after a hot bath.
You will be absolutely astonished TIC
find how completely your fatigue has
flown.

THE NEW GIRDLES =
Garments Demand Care in Their Sc.
lection and Proper Attention
to the Fit.

The rule of colors applies equally
well to girdles. Every woman may at
tempt a girdle if she but know which
one is possible to her figure and then
see that it is carefully boned and
fitted. The secret of trim figure lies
principally in studying the waist lines
and correctly frightening or shorten
ing the space between the bust and
the hips. Tall women take kindly to
the draped girdles which terminate in
a modified point just below the bust
in front, slope slightly beneath the
arm size and curve upward toward the
middle of the back. These are the
most difficult of all girdles to under
take, as everything depends upon their
fit and the ability to determine pre-
cisely how much draping they re-
quire.
A narrow girdle that is exceedingly
pretty with the fichu draped waists
has rounded points back and front and
slopes very slightly beneath the arms.
Shaped, undraped girdles that disap-
pear beneath the waist trimmings may
be made to lend almost a princesse eff
feet to a gown, and these are greatly
liked with the long, smoothly fitting
sheathlike skirts now being made up

Suede Belts in Vogue.

Each season brings forth something
new in seude articles, either gloves,
shoes, belts or handbags. Just now the
belts attract considerable attention,
for they are deserving Of it, since they
are neatly made, not too wide, and are
finished with beautiful oval buckles,
rather flashy, it is true, yet nicely
adapted for a shirtwaist costume. The
colors are numerous, so one has no diff
ficulty in selecting a shade to match
exactly or harmonic nicely with the
