Some Ways to Amuse
and Entertain Guests.
An Advertisement Party.

Now don't say. "Ohl that kind OF q
party is old" for this is a new version
and lots OF fun. In the invitations
request the guests 10 come represent
Ing the advertisement which Is en-
closed. OF course only such "ads" muse
be selected as are capable of clever
portrayal. and they are legion. When
all have arrived present each with
number TO be pinned on and a pro-
gram containing the same numbers.
Allow a half hour or longer for ascer-
tanning what Is what" and who Is
who" then the hostess may read the
correct list. For prizes give some OF
the articles represented by the guests.
Have the dining room decorated
with advertisements great and small.
the walls fairly covered. and the table
cloth may be ornamented with small
designs The refreshments may be
entirely OF advertised products the
menu made out and the guests asked
60 give their orders.
Any magazine devoted 10 house
keeping interests will furnish an
abundant field for this part of the en-.
tertainment The pisee cards may be
white. with a small lad" pasted on H.
Illustrating the fad or liking Of the
guest for some special thing. There
is but little expense attached to an af'
fair OF this kind.

This party will delight the children.
and n careful supervision Is given
they may prepare the invitations in
imitation of paper Noah's arks. These
receptacles for the notes should be
made from light cardboard. about
four ar Ave inches long. Ask each
little guest to come wearing some
thing to represent one Of the animals
In the ark: In fact. as these wooden
animals are so inexpensive one might
be sent In the paper ark and the tiny
guest would know exactly what she
or be was To be.
A huge run and n good big roar
would be Zion" without doubt. and
a 10; OF white spots on a dark suit. or
visa versa, would be the zebra: an
elephant could be indicated by wear
ing n small trunk. and the rabbit by
abnormally long ears. or perhaps that
would best be the donkey. A game
may be played like stage coach"
substituting the names of the animals
for the parts OF the coach. and then
each child may be asked TO name
flowers that have the name or part OF
the name OF an animal. for instance.
dandelion. foxglove. horseradish. etc.
Give a small prize TO the one who
names the most The places at the
table may be marked by spelling the
names with animal crackers and the
centerpiece a large Noah's ark with
animals In n procession. Animal cook
les will delight the children.

Frenchmen ealk AZ Checks.

Frenchmen have never cared for
checks. They do not understand them.
A few days ago French journalist
who had received a check on a well
known London bank showed Il TO me
and asked me what he ought to do
with Il.
Has II any vaiue?" he asked.
why. certainly" I said. you sim
ply indorse II on the back. take Il 10
your banker and he will give you the
amount written on a."
But he seemed somewhat skeptical
and ! could SEQ that he would much
have preferred a postal order. But at
last a serious attempt Is to be made
by parliament 20 teach the Frenchman
how 10 make use OF the check. II will.
however. require the sanction OF spe
cial law before the masses will believe
that there Is any real good In the sys.

check with the assistance OF the post

In these days when 30 much ousi.
ness Is done by means OF checks ana
when these little slips OF paper as
charge most of the obligations DO

seem almost unnecessary 10 suggest IN
a general way the adyisabIlity oil CASH

the Utica Press. That Is what busi

Il often happens. howoser. that losses

this important procese. compara'

amples OF this sort. Men OF limited
means held checks. which we're good

scented for payment they were worth
less. The holder. looking ut them'

only way 90 have II IN that good bank

A man may give n check that 10

with the business sometimes look on

A paper Party.

Request the guests 10 come attired
IN costumes made from crepe tissue

surprising TO see what really artistic
and durable gowns may be evolved.

Tailor Styles Also
for the Small Girl

Even the girl OF IL may have her
little suit smartly tailored and with
the emphasis OF style laid upon the
buttons. which. though plain. as be-
comes everything In tailor fashion.
are often very rich. Buttons. by the
way. figure very largely upon the
clothes that girls of all ages wear.
from the tiny tot. with great fur but
tors set upon her coat. to her de-
butante sister. whose suit has Its
greatest beauty spot In them
Plaids are even better liked for the
small girls suits than they are for her
older sisters. Often she wears a plaid
dress. with a thoroughly boyish top
coat OF covert cloth or OF melton. But
the little plaid suits are most girlish
and attractive and. best Of all. from q
mothers standpoint. are preferable TO
plain cloth In that they seem not TO
spot or soil so readily.
Like her older sister again. the lit
tie girls gored skirts are carefully
shaped-gored and made to fare. Cir
cular models. for obvious reasons. are
tabooed for her.
As To jackets. they are loose. or. ut
the highest. are little blouse coats.
belted In and clasped with a plain
buckle.
Few OF them are trimmed. braiding
being TIE usual thing where trimming
Is used at all: or. following older fash
ions again. the collar and cuffs may
be OF velvet-usually OF a good. strong
shade; even bright shade Is good.
A favorite jacket for a i2year-old Is
very like the pony Jackets which were
so popular last spring. and Norfolk
styles are as perennial with her AZ 10

Both double and single-breasted ef-
fects are good. only II she's a chunky
little mortal. don't have a short.
double breasted coat for he.. II will
emphasize the "chunkiness" to a most
unpleasant degree.
For separate coats. box coats. full or
three-quarter length. are usually worn
made OF slightly rougher material than
were worn by even the young girls
last year.

DAIRY NOTES.

Not all COW keepers deserve the
title dairyman.
The milking shorthorn was not
much In evidence at the large fairs
this fall.
After the milk Is once contaminated
no amount OF "doctoring" will restore
II 10 its pristine purity.
In Cuba the COWS are driven from
house 10 house and the desired quaint
" OF milk is drawn In the presence OF
the purchaser.
Pure. wholesome milk Is a food rel
ished alike by infants. invalids. and
strong men. The impuiity OF tho
product is what men most object to.
Many farmers living close to cities.

able business In supplying fresh milk
to the townspec3le. Try II and DO
convinced.
A cooperative creamery run on .
large scale Is a money maker for its
patrons. Dairymen should pay more
attention to the principles OF co-opera'
ton. Cooperative creameries and
cheese factories are excellent indica.
tons OF tho superior intelligence OF
the communities in which they are
found.
We are glad we do not live In city
and be compelled TO take chalk and
water as n substitute for real milk.
On the farm we can have the real
article in any desired degree OF rich
ness. One reason more milk Is not
consumed In large cities e because
people cannot get the unadulterated
article.

In colors there are many shades OF
gray. castor and brown. II may safely
be said that. so far as the writer has
observed. there are more gowns worn
OF these colors In different shades than
OF any sother. save black. Green Is
worn In great moderation. there Is no
more blue In evidence than usual. for
blue Is a staple color. and. as for
mauve. exquisite as Il Is. Il Is trying
and less OF II Is worn just now.
Some Of the most beautiful panne
cloth costumes are In rich cerise pinks
and.a warm yellow: the latter sounds
odd. TO say the least. but that is the
color, a soft dull shade. not apricot.
not lemon. and one that blends admir-.
ably with certain browns.

The gown was topped by a pelerine,
and she carried n nun 20 match.
The hat worn was moderately
large, almost Dat. oyalshaped affair,
with a low crown. II was sort OF
castor brown. with n knot Of blue or

checks In the costume. From this
knot a white aigrette streamed up and

DEATH MAY RESULT
Looks on at Riot and Is
Attacked Without Any
Provocation

1t developed yesterday that the man
who fired the bullet that seriously
wounded John Ellard, a young team
ster, at Twenty-fourth street and p
trero avenue early Sunday morning
was Policeman Edward Foley. Ellard
is in a critical condition at the city
and county hospital and yesterday his
brother and sister called at the bond
and warrant clerks office at the Hall
of Justice to swear out a warrant for
Policeman Foley's arrest on a charge
of assault to murder. They were
finally persuaded to await the result of
their brothers wound before lodging
a complaint.
Ellard was shot during a riot said 10
have been caused by strike breakers at
the barns at Twenty-fourth and Utah
streets. The Calhoun employees are al
legged to have attacked the pickets of
the Garments union living in tents near
the barns. Several shots were fired in
the battle A crowd of young men was
attracted to the scene. Ellard being
among them.
1t appears that Policeman Foley had
been knocked down earlier in the
morning and his club taken from him.
While trying to disperse the crowd he
struck Ellard on the head with the
butt end of his revolver, which ex-
pleded and the bullet entered Ellard's
neck. If Ellard dies Foley will be
charged with murder
Ellard lives at 1912 Hampshire street
with his parents and it is said that he
took no part in the riot, but was
quietly looking on with two friends
when Foley struck him with the re-
