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

In spite of the protestations against
the Teddy bears, they seem 10 be
just as popular as ever. AT 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 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.

wise in asking two young misses
about 10 to assist at this affair, their
childhood not being so very far back
in the dim, distant past; they were
up on childish games and entered
enthusiastically into make believe"
and Just pretending" The refresh
ments were served at small tables,
there was chair for each dolly and

spective owners. Tiny round moulds
of jellied chicken were served with

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

The dolls and bears had small bask-

DO with her?--was that what
you asked me?"
Yes. she replied, and he never
saw her quivering lip, or noticed her
trembling voice.
We'll" continued Lord Bayneham
with an amused smile. ''of course, any
one dreadful or disgraceful must be
sent back to her friends again. The
very pictures would start from the
walls in horror at such a mesalIiance.
The Ladies Bayneham have ever been
sans reproche. AS soon as l discov-
cred my mistake. should find the
remedy for it."
He spoke carelessly, never dreaming
that she attached any Importance to
his words. They destroyed the last
CLEAN of hope in her heart. She
oelud never tell him her secret;
for now, if he should know it, he would
send her away.
From that hour hope seemed to
leave her; day by day the fair young
face grew more sad and wistful, and
the graceful figure grew thin.
Lord Bayneham became seriously
alarmed, and summoned one of the
best physicians in England to his
wife's aid; but the doctor was puzzled,
too.
You tell me- he said to the earl
that Lady Bayneham has had no
trouble, no grief or anxiety preying up
on her."
Il do not think she knows the mean
ing of grief or sorrow" said Lord Bay
neham, smiling at the idea; whatever
else may all her, it is not that"
With all his skill, the doctor could
find no solution to the mystery-no
reason for the weakness and langour
that wore away the life of his beauti-
full patient. He advised change of air,
and Lord Bayneham was prompt in
action. BY the end of the week every
arrangement was made, and the earl
with his young wife had begun the
journey that he thought was to restore
her to health and strength.

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 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
in velvet, mohair and other fashion
able fabrics for autumn and early win
ter wear.

Owners of the Old Liberty Belh

The owners of the old Liberty
Bell in Philadelphia are four wo-

while the fourth. Mrs. s. W. B.
Delhi, lives in Washington. The
sisters are the heirs of John Will
bank, the maker of the new bell,
who was allowed to take the old
bell in part payment for his work.
BY an order of the Assembly of
the Province of Pennsylvania, the
Liberty Bell was cast by an En-
glish founder 10 1751. Soon after
arriving in this country the bell
broke, but was recast from the
same metal, in the same form and
with the original inscription. "Pro-
claim Liberty Throughout the
Land" The ownership passed
from the provincial authorities to
the State of Pennsylvania, but In
1918 the bell was purchased by
the city of Philadelphia along with
the old state house and grounds.
During the celebration of the ar
rival of Lafayette, in 1924, the
bell was rung with such vigor that
it was cracked, and d few months
later it was ordered replaced by a
new bell, cast by John Wilbank.
Instead of melting down the
old bell for the sake of using the
metal, Wilbank determined that
it should DO preserved. Today it
is regarded as one of the grandest
relics in the country while the
new bell, the one nodded by Will
bank, hangs unnoticed in the
steepIe of the Georgetown hall.

Obsolete Custom.

Senator Davis evidently hor-
rified the old fogy custom of t e
Senate that the new members
must keep their mouths shut and
imbibe their wisdom from the
inane drippings of their prosaic
elders. Commenting on the re-
cent outburst of Senator DAVIS
on trusts, combines and corpora
tons the Shreveport Journal
says:
There are men in that senate
who could remain there until
doomsday without gaining agrain
of knowledges, and these are they
who insist that men with missions
and with duties they are pledged
to perform, shall remain silent
while such men as Aldrich bore
the country with expressions that,
viewed from any standpoint ex.
cept that of self interest. are
trash.
Commenting on this Davis
episode the Kansas City Times
says: "But flippancy aside, let it
be said with all seriousness that
the United States sen lte has much
more need of mcn who are ex-
travagant in their -clamor for
popular rights than of men who
are passive under corporate sg-
erosion. And perhaps til is
august body needs at this time
just such startling truth teller
as Davis of Arkansas"
