down at the top to form a pivot for the hole in the center of a piece of timber, which extended out five feet on either side of the stump, with up. right pegs set in the timber, to which riders might cling in the dizzy whirl' ing motion caused by the human mo- tor power.
 By one united effort the four old ladies gave Mrs. vandegriff a boost which landed her between two of the pegs, and she clung to them to keep from falling as they started the ma chine to revolving swiftly.
 What are you going to do?" she screamed. Are you trying to kill mel"
 "Oh, mo-" panted Mrs. Jones. plod. ding around bit faster. We want you to have fresh air and exercise"
 Mrs. vandegriff stormed and plead. but when Mrs. Jones dropped down exhausted, Mrs. Bernstein started on the path, keeping the merry-go-round in rapid motion, until at last Mrs. vandegriff sobbed out If you'll only let me down I'll promise to do any. thing you want me to do while I'm down here"
 Do you think we are all low-down trash?" queried Mrs. Jones. A
 "N-n.no," was the quavering an- swer.
 Do you live on College avenoo?" asked Mrs. Bernstein, giving the mer. ry.go-round an extra turn.
 "No; live in Factory Row." Mrs. vandegriff groaned.
 What kind of mission is this, fresh air or hot air?" asked Mrs. Bar ton. as the machine gave a creak. dipping toward the ground for lack of ballast on the other end. Mrs. vandegriff clutched desperately at the peg from which her hand had slipped, while she gasped. "F-fresh air"
 Well, how many ladies are there staying at the cottage?' Mrs. Barton asked. And do you intend to ever mention this occurrence, or ever give Mrs. Birch any more troubleT'

Anyway. l tell you I didn't mean any harm"
 They stopped the whirring machine and helped Mrs. vandegrif to her feet. but she tumbled down at their feet in an abject pile. for her poor old head was whirling 90 that she could not stand.
 When Mrs. vandegrif could stand up. her companions brushed the dust from her silk dress. helped her ten deriy down the hill and put her in the hammock. Mrs. Bernstein brought her a cup of cool water, and the oth- CTS chatted away as if nothing had ever disturbed their afternoon rest It was a restored and rejuyenated Mrs. vandegriff who finally emerged from the chaotic state into which she had been thrown by her companions

FOR THE SUNDAY AFTERNOON,
Easy to Make Day the Children Will
 Look Forward To

Much depends upon how Sunday is observed whether child looks forward with pleasure or dread to the seventh day. It should be such dear, happy time that the little ones welcome its advent with delight.
 In the first place, after the usual duties are attended to and church serv- ices over, there should be an hour in the afternoon-more, if the time can be given-that belongs to the children alone. It may mean giving up nap. a walk, or call, but do it faithfully Then use part of this time for hold ing little court of appeals" encour- age each child to tell all the troubles and grievances of the week, condole when necessary and smooth out knotty problems in the fairest manner possi- ble. After things have been satisfac- torily adjusted, have chapter in some interesting book known as the Sun day book" and never used on any other day.
 To induce Bible reading, let each child spell his name with verses from this holy book, making acrostics and memorizing those especial verses. Illuminating favorite texts with a box of water colors is another Sunday pleasure.
 A never failingSsource of amusement for young children is a .good-sized Noah's ark. Tell the story of the flood and give little history of the ani- mals, their homes and habits. Then at the end pair the animals and put them away in the ark
 It is the exceptional child who does not enjoy music, and the earlier the singing habit is cultivated the better. Teach the good old hymns which will never be forgotten. The melodies learned on Sunday afternoon will echo through the busiest day and soothe the darkest hour in the years to come.
 So few parents stop to think that it is in the earliest years that the mem ories are being made which will be most vivid in the later days of their children's lives.
 One mother of sound sense and far. sightedness in bringing up her chill dren makes it rule to permit each child turn in planning the Sunday night luncheon, giving the order on Saturday so ample preparations may be made.

ANSWER TO CORRESPONDENTS.
For the Bride-Elect.

I am soon to be married and the serving of refreshments is one thing that bothers me. This is a small town and too far away. from the cities to obtain any extras.
 l should prefer morning wedding, but there is not room enough to seat all the guests for breakfast" Is there any other form of serving suit able for a morning affair? If so, what would it be called, what served and how? SUNNY SOUTH"
 Certainly you can have the morning ceremony and refreshments all right, too. Do not try to seat the guests at the table. Have coffee, sandwiches, olives, salted nuts, chicken patties or croquettes, a salad, ice cream and wedding cake.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-06-29

The correct way to serve dinner is to begin with soup, then if an infor. nal affair. the host may carve the roast, chicken or turkey. The potatoes and other vegetables are passed, each one serving himself. The plates are removed and the salad is separate course with waters or cheese straws. The dessert follows with coffee. Salad Is often served at evening parties ac- companied by sandwiches.
