the duchess had borne conspicuous

When Paul Jones reached Paris she
gave grand banquet in his honor.

of her gift and his promise. A servant
was sent to his room and returned
with long leather case. which the
duchess took amid the exclamations
and eager curiosity of the company.

A Novel Bazaar.

A rather novel affair for church or
charity entertainments is round the
world tour.
Get at least ten persons to lend their
houses or grounds. No matter If the
distance between them is great If
rather far apart, enjoyment is greater.
Also secure the free use Of as many
automobiles as you can get.
Each house is devoted to different
Only the lower rooms need be used.
or, If preferred, pavilions or tents can
be erected in the grounds.
The hostess should act as chairman
for her special country, and there
should be corps of assistants for each
country. AS far as possible select the
assistants with reference to their type,
Thus the round faced, smiling blond
should be assigned to Holland or Ger
many, no matter how much the chair
man of Japan would like her help.
Each house or ground that repre-
sents a special country should be dec
GRATED typically of that land. The as
the peasants. Any special foods or
dishes that are peculiar to the people
should be served, and the articles for
sale should be such as are specially
associated with the country. Thus
Holland could be represented by some
one who had small pond or stream
running through their grounds. There
could be barges or small boats manned
by Dutch sailors to take passengers for
a 1ide-for consideration. Near the
shore could be huge dairy arranged,
the dairymaids arrayed in short skirts,
Tapping caps and sabOts. A cow or
two can be tethered to the outside Of
the dairy, and pretty milkmaids on
fetching stools can fill the cup of buy
ers with fresh warm milk.
Use the pretty blue and white china
with Dutch scenes painted on 1t.
Have paper napkins, also Dutch, and
sell dairy products, cheese, milk, CO.
Goa, Dutch cake, schnitz, brown bread
and potato salad. There could also be
on sale sabots, tulips and other bulbs,
either in bloom If the season be au-
SpiciOuS or some good varieties TOT
planting In the autumn.
Perhaps one could get jeweler to
donate small pieces of Dutch silver to
sell on commission, and small prints
of Dutch pictures framed in narrow
wooden or dark paper frames could be
sold at good profit.
Aim at novelty as far as possible in
every nation. Thus, instead of having
India typified by its foods and trim
kets, there might be tent or stage
draped with oriental hangings and
have nautch dances, readings Of crys-
tai balls, astrologers and other fortune
telling stunts. There could be snake
charmer or juggler for further amuse-
ments, and through the audience could
glide yelled maidens selling Indian
sweetmeats, good luck charms and
small idols.
