Hand Him a Lemon.

Here are directions for a lemon
party:
As the guests arrive at the lemon
party meet them at the door and hand
him or her a lemon, with a little bun
die Of japanese toothpicks. These may
be purchased for cents a box, each
box containing ten or more little bun
dies of toothpicks. When all the guests
have arrived give them seats at a Ia
bic. provide each one with a sharp
pointed knife and tell them they are
expected to make an animal from the
lemon they hold and that a prize is to
be given to the one who makes the
most artistic and a consolation prize
for the most grotesque. The prizes for
the same may be a silver lemonade
spoon for the first and a lemon shaker
or squeezer for the second. A lemon
race may follow, playing it in the same
way that the potato race is played.
The requirements are ten lemons,
two vegetable dishes and two table
spoons. The lemons are placed In two
parallel rows, five in a row and three
feet apart, one Of the dishes heading
each row. The company forms in two
equal lines. one behind each row, the
lines being numbered respectively with
odd and even numbers. A timekeeper
is appointed to keep tally and call time
for the contestants, who are allowed
just three minutes to do their special
stunt" When all is ready Nos. and
take the spoons and start down their
respective lines, the object being to
see which side owns the most members
who can gather up the line Of lemons
one at a time in n spoon, carry them
to the vegetable dish and deposit them
without touching the fruit with their
hands. All having had a trial, the ac-
counts are balanced, the judge rem
ders his verdict, and a prize is given
to the victorious side.
A lemon pie with good thick me
rlngue affords much fun in its proper
distribution as q prize
The refreshments for the lemon par
" should all contain lemon in some
form. The sandwiches may be chicken
with wafer thin slices OF lemon. The
salad may be served in lemon cups
made from the skins or simply gar
,lshed with sliced lemons. The lemon
&c or lemon jelly can be served in the
emon skins also. and lemon layer cake
~ small cakes with lemon icing may
company the ice or jelly. OF course

To Walk Well.

Don't drag your feet or fling them
or lag or stride. Learn to glide into a
room gracefully.
1t is impossible for a woman to be
awkward IN her walk If she walks
straight and keeps her knees stiff. The
act of swinging the feet out gives one
a graceful gait.
Walk slowly Skirts wind around
your calves when you walk rapidly,
and all semblance of grace is lost.
Walk in leisurely manner, as II you
were a princess. not a hurried, wor-
ried, OverwOrked woman.
Don't swing your shoulders.
Don't swing your arms.
Don't twist yourself in sinuous mo-
tions. Don't comfort. Don't wiggle.
Hold your chin in. This is the most
important thing Of all.
Don't walk or look or act like an old
person. There are no old persons in
these days. Touch the ground first
with the balls of your feet, with the
heels striking an instant later.

WHY DON'T THEY MARRY

We don't want to butt in on other
peoples affairs. but it does look as if
there are several courtships about
ready to ripen into matrimony. It's a
shame for young men to put off getting
married when they have the right girl
ready to say yes" and have plenty of
the worlds goods already gathered and
good prospects for the future to en-
bark il matrimony. Girls just sug-
gest to that backward lover, that wood
is scarce. and that it Is a serious tax
on the old man to keep fires burning
all winter. and it is always so much
nicer to sit by your own fireside any
way. Then again the minister needs
all the encouragement possible, and a
wedding fee is always welcome and
unexpected.-Lin City Correspond

MEN READERS
EQUAL WOMEN

1t is a commonly accepted opinion
fostered somewhat by an article in the
independent several years ago that
public libraries are used more by wo-
men than by men. While it undoubtz
edly is true that the use Of the ,
brary by women is somewhat moro
than that by men. the difference is not
so great as it appears 20 be in the sight
of those who criticise the library.
It is as easy to make assertions that
libraries are feminized as it is to make
assertions they are not patronized al
most wholly by women 1t is only
when statistics are gathered that the
real truth can be known. Such statis-
tics have been gathered by the Pratt
Institute. of Brooklyn, New York. do
ing much the same kind of work as
the library in this city. In March,
1907, a record was kept Of the number
of men who made use of the circulat-
ing department of the library. and 1t
was found that during the month DO
per cent. Of the visitors to the circulat-
ing department were women and 40
per cent. were men. 1t is a matter OF
common knowledge that many more
women and girls get books from lhe
library for their fathers, husbands, or
brothers than there are men and boys
who get them for their mothers, wives
or sisters SO it is fair to assume that
the use of the circulating department
of the library by men and women is
about the same.
While no record of the use Of the
Institute Free Library in this city has
been kept by Librarian Bailey it is
evident that the proportion of use by
men and women in Wilmington differs
but slightly from that of Brooklyn. II
IS noticeable at the free library thai
IN the afternoons the circulating and
reference departments are patronized
rs.ostly by women and girls, but it is
also true that in the evenings both de-
partments are patronized mostly by
men. the percentage of use is about
80 per cent. for each.
