SuSsidence of Land.

In recent report made to the United
States Geological Survey n. II. Dsrton,
of the corps, had this to say;
"There can be no doubt that all the
Eastern and New England States as raj
inland as Washington, ID. O., and ss iar
north as the Caroinas are undergoing
Typographical and geological change.
Investigations along the coast from
Maine to South Carolina show that there
is gradual but constant snbsidence oi
land below the sea level, which has been
going on for nm indefinite period. OI
course, II is difficult to ascertain definite
figures because of the great range ol
years necessary to make observations,
aud because we cannot rely upon regis
trstions made 100 years ago. 1t will
require many centuries before the sea
line will encroach upon the cities. Bu'
there is no reason to believe that this
subsistence will not continue"

Paneled papers are quite popular. with
a crown design at the top.
These are sold In lengths that can be
cut TO any height of room. and some
times the panels are eompassed by mere
~ a floral border.
Brown paper painted is having a great
following in halls where dark oak and
dark cornices prevail. and the textile
papers made to resemble silk, wool, or
any other woven fabric in solid colors
can, as often as not, be made TO be ex-
ceedingly effective.
For bedrooms floral and chintZ pat

own way.
Modern and ancient tapestry form a
restful background wherever they can
be had. but this is not within the scope
OF every one.

try houses are being fitted up with land

CHILDREN'S PARTIES
By coRNELIA C. BEDFORD.

When a party is given for young
children the hours should be early, say
from 3 10 c. Children under four or five
years OF age should not stay more than
two hours as they are apt TO grow tired
and fretful when the excitement is pro-
longed. Older children may have later
hours. but where the majority OF the
company are under twelve or fourteen
years, from 5 TO would be quite suit
able.
The character OF the refreshments de-
ponds upon the age OF the guests. but
IN all cases IL Is advisable that thew be
simple. digestible. and daintily served.
Sandwiches OF some kind are a nee,,s-
slty and Ice cream Is always acceptable.

The sandwiches may be made from

lightly, then stamp out IN triangles,

To designate places az the table a
pretty way is TO make some goOd-sized

features OF the occasion, and IL should
