A BEAN BAG PARTY.

You can't tell how much fun this
is, but when Dolly and Gertrude plan

tations, and with each invitation a
sailor suit pattern and several yards
of colored cheesecloth; pink, lilac,
green, yellow and red, two girls re-
ceiving the same color, the invitations
requesting that the costumes be made
according to the inclosed pattern. The
party was to be on a Saturday after
noon and the nursery was given up
to the girls.
1t was an immense room on the
top floor, and with the aid of two or
three handy boy cousins. they sue
ceeded in decorating Utmost beautiful

In all the various shades with which
to cover the ceiling and walls. and
the girls clever fingers produced real
ly artistic effects.
The bean bags were made of col
ored linen to match the paper, and
Gertrude and Dolly had suits of white
with bands of the different colors, and
gay little caps made of the paper.
When all the girls had assembled,
a paper cap to match her costume
was presented to each one, and the
colors were paired off and presented
with bag to play with. Then the
fun began. The crunching of the
beans made a pleasant sound in the
room, for the girls threw well and
evenly. There was a prize offered for
the most steady throwing, and it was
pretty sight to watch the graceful
active young figures in their gay
dresses. The fall of bean bag on
the floor put those two players out
of the race, and as the girls grew
excited, those accidents occurred fire.
quently. Every one was in state
of GREATNESS suspense. The slightest
slip of one meant victory for the
other, and when at last the blues were
left on the floor there were cheers
that nearly raised the roof as the
winners received dainty little work
baskets which Dolly and Gertrude had
lined and fitted up themselves.
There was another match played,
with the two little hostesses throwing
each to half dozen girls. This was
very exciting, and Gertrude's side
won after a hard tussle. The prizes
were plump little apple pincushions,
with long green ribbons attached. so
the girls could hang them on their
arms. And then, best of all, there
were refreshments; cookies made by
the girls themselves, and lemonade
for the heated players. And to wind
up, brother Archie brought his banjo
and played the ''jiggiest" dances,
which set all the feet twinkling over
the floor.
Altogether the bean bag party was
a great success, and the bags were
put away for another frolic In the

AN ADVENTURE WITH A SOUR
REL.

REL.
In the Hillside district recently an
exciting adventure with squirrel
was experienced. Returning to her
house after the usual "confab" with
her neighbor housewife was startled
at seeing a strange. dark something
dart quickly across the floor of the
kitchen. tits a muckle rat" ejacu-
lated the lady, and she slammed the
door behind her and ran for the assist
ance of her neighbor. There's cour-
age in company, and the two women
returned to investigate the mysteri-
GUS intruder. The door was very
cautiously opened, but no rat could
be seen.
On entering further into the room
they discovered that the visitor was
not rat but nimble little squirrel,
which was perched on the counter
check of the window. Its presence
was unwelcome, and the question
was-how to get it out. The first and
natural suggestion was to pull down
the window in order to let 1t out.
But on the approach of one of the
women the frightened animal leaped
from its narrow perch to the mantel
shelf, creating havoc amongst the
much-prized ornaments. then on to the
floor and across the room into the
scullery. where with characteristic
alertness it clambered to the top of
the shelves and sat painting among
the cooking utensils.

WHO is MR.. B1NKs?"

The article with the above title.
which appeared recently in the
Home department of this paper, sug-
gested parlor game which may in.
terest our young people.
The game is called who is Mr..
Binks?" Now Mr.. Binks" may be any
living creature. only he must exist
somewhere; that is, he must be real,
not Imaginary.
To be successful player, you must
always know for yourself who mr..
Binks" really is. Any number Of
persons may play.
The first player names one quality
of Mr.. Binks, as "He has feathers"
or He eats hay" The next adds
one more item of description, keep
ing all that has been given
Every time player makes his adj
dition to the description he must have
in mind an animal answering to it.
When player fails to think of an
animal to which he can supply the
description thus far given and add
one more to 1t, he drops out Of the
game.
If any one suspects description
to be unreal, he may challenge the
player by saying, who is Mr.. Binks?"
II he is unable to answer and thus
shows that his description was ficti-
tious, he drops from the game. On
the other hand, if he is prepared to
name a creature corresponding to
the Mr. Binks" that he described. he
keeps his seat, and his questioner
pays the penalty of leaving the game.
This privilege of challenging is open
to all except the one whose turn 1t is
to continue the description.
Thus the game goes on till all
have been forced to quit except the
winner.
The last one, of course, has the
privilege of continuing the descrip-
ton as long as he likes.-Arthur

Will Live in Flagstaff.

Mir A. Bourgeois. recently of Fl Paso. has located in Flagstaff per manently owing to the splendid success he has met with in his line of work. MT. Bourgeois IS in truth a fresco artist. but is modest in his claims and merely says he is a gen eral painter and paper hanger, ready to do your work and do it to your satisfaction. He came to this country from France some twenty five years ago. under contract to complete the mural decorations in the celebrated Notre Dame Cathed- ral at Montreal, and today this work stands unexcelled as work of art in its line. His work as carriage painter ran be seen everyday on the streets of Flagstaff Mir. I. A
 Riordan and others for whom he has piled his art are warm it their praise of this genial French work man and are willing to recommend him to the people for any contract he undertakes. It is seldom that one of his ability takes up with general work in this manner, but the climate and the hills won him to Flagstaff and he is here to stay, and willing to accept any contract in connection with painting. lmo.
