INVITATIONS TO AND SERVING
OF LUNCHEON.
Correct Time Is One or Half-Past-

Much the Same.

The invitations for a luncheon are
sent out one or two weeks in advance,
according to the formality of the af-
fair Invitations may be written in
the third person, but the first person
is preferred if the luncheon is to be
formal. To an informal affair the
guests may be invited verbally.
The correct hour for a luncheon is
one or half-past one O'Clock. If this
hour is inconvenient the hostess may
invite her guests to a late break
fast, which differs little from a lunch
con, except that the usual hour is u
or half-past -,
The same menu is used for a
breakfast as one would use at a
luncheon with the exception Of the

MORE LIVES THAN A CAT

Things went smoothly for two weeks. Then
on Sunday Paulo failed to appear. On Tuesday
he showed up. and | asked him for an explain

show of feeling that his mother had died the
previous Saturday night. OF course / was
sympathetic and offered him all the con-

AZ the end of two weeks Paulo again absented
himself without permission for two days, and

and accepted the excuse.
In short while Paulo took his two DAYS off

This time called in a friend to interpret
Paulo admitted that he had deceived me
before. but insisted with so much apparent
grief that he was telling the truth this time

Harry handed It To a boy who sat at the
farther side OF the room.
Then Uncle Bob made the boy who held one
envelop and the girl who held the other stand
up IN front of him. Gazing straight at the
boys envelop Uncle Bob stared at it for a
few moments. and then said. Il can't see
through the envelop with my ewes open. but

slowly. As If reading. ~ What day of the month

Again closing his eyes. Uncle Bob slowly
traced some letters in the air with his finger.
Now. he said. after completing his invisible
writing. " II you will open the envelop Harry

Green sealed. you will find his question written

envelop and take out the card"
''Oh, let me do itl" cried Harry. excitedly.
He tore open the enveloP that he had sealed,
and showed the paper to the rest Then he
tore open the envelOp that the little girl held.
and took from it the card bearing Mrs. BOyn-
tons name The other side was blank.
There's nothing written here" he said turn
ing 70 Uncle Bob.
"Indeedl" said the latter. "Well. Just take
the tip Of your knife blade and split the card
IN two"
They all clustered round as Harry did this.
and behold. after the card was split, Harry's
question was found written on the inside of
one half, and on the inside of the other half
was plainly written the date of the day
Great excitement prevailed. for the children
had never seen such a wonderful feat done
right under their eyes before. Even Lucy and
Fred said that Uncle Bob had fairly Outdone
himself.
They begged him TO do It again. and the good
natured man repeated the trick over and over.
each time with a different question, written
by different person.
But no amount Of COaXing would induce him
to tell how he did it, Mind writing IS a most
difficult science 70 understand he said. and

But after the Others had gone home Lucy
wheedled It out OF him.

~ Fred had persuaded Uncle Bob to do one
of his clever tricks for the entertainment
of their social club one evening.
So after the young people were assembled,
Uncle Bob came into the room. He greeted
them pleasantly. and then announced that
he would give them an exhibition of mind
reading and mind writing
Having taken his place at one end Of the
room, the children all sat facing him, eager TO
see what would happen. Uncle Bob sat at
small table, on which lay a pad OF paper and
a pencil

and rather suspicious OF magic performances,
wrote, What dav OF the month IS to-siay,"
Don't let Fred see II, or Lucy or myself
said Uncle Bob, though YOU may show It To
the others"
So Harry Green showed the question to two
or three of those who sat near HIM.

the top leaf Of the pad. on which YOU have
written. and fold II up carefully. To make II
more secure, place 1t IN this enveloP-' He
gave Fred envelop 10 hand TO Harry. Ex-

is plain. ordinary envelop. Now inclose Your
folded paper. seal the enyelop, and place 1t in
Your own pocket"
Harry did so, remarking that certainly no.
body knew what was on that paper except
himself and the few To whom he had shown It.
Now" went on Uncle Bob. will YOU
please bring me blank card. Fred, One of
your mothers calling cards will do"
Fred returned IN a moment with the visiting
card.
New-York tribune., 1907-03-31
The Explanation

1T seems that Fred was a confederate. The
Il pad on which the question written was
so arranged that II had sheet of carbon copy
paper, such as typewrIters use, beneath the
two top pages of white paper. Then when
question was written on the top page, the car
bon paper transferred it to the third page
When the top page was torn of, IL left plain
white page still over the carbon. Then when
Fred went away with the pad. he simply tore
OF the blank page and the page with the carbon
copy OF the question, and fixed the pad IN order
for the next performance On his return with
the envelop he CareleSSly laid the carbon copy
on the table, SO that Uncle Bob might read II
at his leisure
Also. while Fred was out of the room on one
errand or another he arranged the visiting
card There was ample time for this while
Harry was folding and sealing his paper. The
cards were arranged by having a number of
blank cards the same size as the visiting cards.
On the back of a visiting card, Fred wrote the
question he had already discovered. and on a
blank card he wrote an answer. Then he
lightly pasted together the edges of the two.
vi course, paste cards, etc, We're all previously
arranged, Thus, when the pasted card was
shown. everybody supposed II 20 be a simple.
single visiting card. They were not allowed
10 handle II.
The trick may be performed any number of
times, II the pretended mind reader and mind
writer can keep the audience sufficiently inter
eSted not 70 notice the frequent absence of the
confederate from the room. Excuses may be
made tor him 10 get thicker envelop. or to
sharpen the pencil, or even To get the mind
writer a glass of water. Success. as usual in
such tricks. depends on the performers ease
and grace of manner, and merry flow of con-
