Farewell Envelope Shower.

fareWejI envelope shower.
To a girl who was going away for q
prolonged absence. a friend planned
and carried out this acceptable show
er. Her guests all entered into the
spirit Of the occasion and made 1t q
success. Each person was asked to
bring something in an envelope. AZ
space must be considered when one is
going to Europe. 1t was wonderful
the way the envelope scheme devel
oped; there was an envelope Of denim
with strap handles for holding maya
zines. letter paper pad. pencil. etc.
Then there was q nest of long envel
opes tied together filed with all sorts
of interesting clippings, anecdotes. ar
ticles of interest along the lines that
the voyager was especially to study.
One envelope contained wee
deck of cards for playing solitaire. an
other held courtplaster: one had
snap shots of home scenes and near
friends: several large envelopes held
hand illuminated mottos, and. best Of
all, a rich bachelor uncle took this
way of giving his niece some green
backs. The envelope was labeled
Extras" One practical girl brought
set of envelopes marked For

card, needles, safety pins, card of
beauty pins, hairpins Of all sizes and
an invisible hair net. 1t Is impossible
to enumerate all that this shower
brought forth besides the regular

FALL PAINTING.

The majority of property owners
are under the impression that spring
time is the only painting time. But
the fall Of the year offers several i'd
vantages to the painter. One of tia
most important is that surfaces arc
almost sure to be dry, and there is No
frost or inner moisture to work out
after the paint Is applied.

A New One About Napoleon.

A new" story about Napoleon Is
necessarily doubtful: the probability
is that it is simply SO old that it has
been forgotten. However, here is one
that Arthur NJ. Chuquet prints in

1t relatesto Napoleon and Butcher.
The emperor received the general

was preparing for the siege of Danzig.
He drew him to a window in an upper
story and paid him compliments on

Hospital Employe Would Not Neglect
Duty Even II the Patient
Were "Dying."

The doorkeeper at one of the MIL
waukee hospitals Is serious minded
man and devotes himself to his job
with a singleness of purpose which
sometimes is productive of ludicrous
results. One of the duties of this hon.
est old fellow is taking the names of
patients when they enter the hospital.
The other day q laborer was brought
in by the emergency ambulance in
pretty badly battered condition. The
laborer was scared and thought he
was going to die.
Vat iss the name, blease?" asked
the doorkeeper as the injured man
was carried into the hospital on a
stretcher.
The laborer only groaned. "Oh, I'm
dying, I'm dying" he cried.
Vat ISIS the name. blease?" once
more inquired the doorkeeper, to whom

How Cement ls Made.

The basis Of nearly all good cements
used in tire repairing is either India
rubber of gutta percha dissolved in
any one of the common solvents,
which include benzine, carbon-bisul-
phide, choloroform and ether. Various
other ingredients are necessary for
a good cement, as, for instance, II
quick drying is desired. some form
of dryer is added, and to attain ten
acity still other gums, such as rosin,
mustic, gumlac, are used.
In any cement for rubber, the &C.
ment must come in contact with the
rubber, which result is obtained by
brushing the surface with naphtha.
This softens the rubber, and when
partially eyaporated leaves it in as
nearly favorable condition for ad-
hesion as it is possible to get.

| For the Hostess
Chat on Topics Of Many Kinds, by a
RceoeDized Authority
~Puzzler Announcement Party.

Quite recently q hostess used puz-
gle pictures to announce the engage
ment of the guest of honor. The club
to which the young couple belonged
we're invited and as no one suspected
the news that was to be revealed. the
affair was entirely successful.
Tables and puzzles were arranged
so that four persons worked together,
the hostess explained that when the
six tables had completed their puz-
zles a very interesting story would be
woven from the pictures; that prize
would be awarded to the one who first
guessed the story. The first picture
put together showed a boy and girl
with a map upon which there we're
two states, Maine and Ohio; the sec
ond puzzle revealed man and q girl
dancing with the words yale" and
"Vassar."
Then the third picture was a poser,
for it was simply cut Of White
Star liner, the fourth puzzle was a
Pullman train marked California
Limited" The fifth was a scene in a
park, with couple sitting under the
trees, and the sixth was a bride and
groom walking up the aisle over
which were the initials of the young
couple.
The prize was large box Of con-
fetti with which the pair were duly
showered. Congratulations followed
and every one was delighted. The
hostess had painted some of the pic
lures, pasted them on thin sheets of
wood and a boy friend cut them out
on his Jig saw. Post cards, advertise
ments and magazines furnished the
others.
A delicious salad of canned aspara-
gus, sprinkled with grated cheese and
mayonnaise with garnish of stuffed
olives cut in halves. Cheese straws
were passed with 1t, and lemonade, in
which a bottle of ginger ale was
added in the proportion of bottle to
every quart of lemonade.

Unique Thimble Party.

We belonged to a thimble club of
ten members, and once a month one
of us gave an afternoon to which each
member asked guest, making party
of 20. At the affair I wish to describe
for your department readers the
hostess had five tables with the fol-
lowing stunts to be accomplished:
First, to see who could sew on the
most buttons in the time allotted; Sec
ond, to see who could sew on the
most lace; third, the best buttonhole
in five minutes; fourth, the best patch
work square; fifth, the neatest hem
in the square of cheese cloth. We
played partners, the two best progress
ing. We were all given wee baskets
with silk bag tops attached and the
markers were buttons. hooks and

Don't rinse laces in blued water, un.
der a mistaken notion that it will i'm.
prove the color 1t won't. Rinse in
skinned milk, which will give a soft,
creamy tint.
Don't fill an oil or any other kind OF
stove or lamp when it is lighted. This
seems superfluous advice, but in hot
weather cannot be too often repeated.
Don't leave gas stove with any.

soup-and extinguish the fame. Be-
side the loss of gas. there is danger
of an explosion. Don't turn off the
gas at the main. unless the taps are

Don't light the kitchen fire unless
there is water in the boiler. II not,
the rush of cold water is liable to
crack the boiler.

After the Announcement.

AFTER tne announcement.
It would be ridiculous to say that q
girl should be more careful of her
manners at one time than at others,
but nevertheless it is perfectly true
that a girls actions are more likely
to be scrutinized and criticised on GER
tain occasions than on others. Per-
haps a girl is more apt to be criti-
cised during the early part Of her en-
gagement than at other times. Every
small act of girl is under the sever
est inspection by the family and
friends of her future husband. and
especially II she has not been known
10 them before. It is an exceedingly
wise young woman who conducts her
self so that even the most critical
could find no fault.
It would seem unnecessary to say
that girl should not accept any at
.entions from any young men, yet
there are many young women who
make the foolish and seemingly harm
less mistake. 1t is not the place of a
young girl to make any advances to
the family of her fiance, except I'M
der exceptional conditions. The the
ory is that a girl should watt to be
welcomed into the family to which
she will belong in the future, and it

joining of the shade is imperceptible.
The tab marked A slips under the cor.
responding letter on the opposite
side, B and B, and C under the letter
c. The tabs are to be glued in this
manner. Before joining, however
the background of the design is to be
cut out with small pointed scissors,
leaving a delicate tracery of leaves
and flowers. The effect of the silk
under the flowers is very pretty.
The little shades may be purchased
all ready to slip the painted shade
over, and the design given is planned
to exactly fit them. They come
bead-fringed in all colors for so cents,
the best variety with silk outside and
lining of mica, a thin substance that
will not burn. Then there are dainty
little separate silk Innings of different
colors with silk fringe to match for
Is cents.
The pink shades are, perhaps, the
most effective with the wild rose de-
sign, but yellow is also pretty. II a
yellow lining is used, then the flowers
may be painted yellow. A light green
lining is also pretty under the pink or
yellow shade.

A dainty candle shade gives a pref
ty finish to table, mantel or dresser,
and the new tinted flower shades
mounted over colOred silk are most
attractive The woman who is clever
with her brushes may make no end
of pretty things, but these shades may
be initiated even by those who know
nothing about painting, providing they
put the color on in a neat, careful
manner.
The first step is to trace the design
on 4 piece of water-colOr paper. then
color it, either shading, if one knows
how, or using fiat washes with pen
and ink outline. In the latter case
use waterproof ink, going over every
line when the paint is dry. This wash
and outline work is quite as effective
as the more difficult light and shade.
In either case use a light brown for
the stems, two shades of green for the
leaves, the smaller leaves the lighter.

Bucket shops"--a name now used
to denote small "outside" stock brokers
or financiers not in membership with
the Stock EXchange-were so called
because when they first started in
Chicago the only commodity dealt in
by small spectators TO any extent
was wheat The legitimate dealers
would not handle an order for less
than 5000 bushels. ana then Il lot of
places sprung up where men of linn
tied capital could speculate with very
small sums. and these men were spo-
