A Case for Sympathy.

Two matrons of a certain western
city, whose respective matrimonial
ventures did not in the first instance
prove altogether satisfactory, met at
a woman's club one day. when the
first matron remarked:
Hattie, met your ex,' dear old
Tom, the day before yesterday. We
talked much of you"
rs that SOP" asked the other ma
iron. Did he seem sorry when you
told him OF my second marriage?"
Indeed. he did; and said so most
franklyl"

sorry, though. he added. he didn't
know the man personally. "-Lippin-

Amusements for Summer Parties.

This is the season of outdoor enter
tainments, for most OF our readers, II
not sojourners by the sea or on the
mountain top. may arrange for novel
entertainments in the open air by uti-
LIKING what is near-the parks, the
reaches of inland lake or rivers. the
shady lawn of the home place or some
adjacent country side reached by the
ever-present trolley car.
A fagot party is not new, but this
way OF conducting one has new fea-
lures: A circle of pine trees was the
setting for a little fireplace made of
stones, on which paper and dry twigs
were ready to be touched off.
Each guest was presented with a
bundle of fagots to which was at
tached a number; duplicate number
was given out. The hostess re-
quested the guest who drew No. to
look at the fagots; II he had No. the
bundle was laid on the blaze, and he
had to tell a story, sing a song or
dance a jig while the fagots burned.
1t really was another way of conduct
ing stunt party. One guest re-
cited some clever negro dialect,
bits she had collected while in the
south; a man gave some college
stories; sweet singer rendered some
Hawaiian love songs which she
learned from the na4ves while on the
island. The result was very good.
There were II guests and II bundles
of fagots burned underneath the tall
pines. Refreshments were served on
the inclosed porch of the summer cot
tage. A candle was at each plate
held by q drop of melted wax onto a
wooden picnic plate; by it was a
wooden skewer; with it marshmallows
were toasted over the candle and
eaten with ice cream and small cakes.
There was impromptu singing of col
lege songs to the accompaniment of
the hostess guitar. All the girls wore
tub suits and the men came with neg
ligee shirts with duck or flannel
trusers and serge coats.

ain Darkest Africa"

A club of Ia young girls has chosen
Africa" for their study next year;
with this in mind, the president is to
give a luncheon having decorations
and symbols pertaining to the dark
continent"
The table centerpiece is to be
unique, having three black dolls, each
with a pennant bearing the words
Delighted" Toy lions, monkeys and
tigers will be the favors. and the
place cards are in shape of pyramids
and sphinxes. on which a miniature
figure is scanning the horizon with a

walls during the luncheon addressed to

A Progressive Picnic.

The guests were children from
eight to ten; the hostess was q ia.
vored lass. who went to the country
every summer. A regular hay-rack
wagon met them at the station; 1t had
boards across the side so no one could
spill out and was gayly decorated
with sunfiowers, boughs OF trees and
eattails.
The unique feature of this picnic
was in the serving of refreshments.
Each child was given a wooden plate
and a paper napkin. Then over the
grounds were interesting booths,
shaded by large green and white UNI
brellas. They we're also placarded
No. 1, No. 2, etc. There was a grown
person to lead at the head of the pro-
cession. The first stop was No. l.,
big porcelain cup for each child.
No. was sandwiches, cold meats, po-
tato salad and olives. Here the
guests sat in a semi-circle on big
rug. Then they progressed to No. g.,
and had ice cream then to No. 4.
where the booth had bonbons and
fruit. No. 5 had piles of little bags,
and was the starting point for a pea
nut; some were gllded, some silvered,
and some tied with blue ribbon. The
gold nuts scored -, silver 10 and
blue ribbons were s. The one who
had the highest score won prize,
the next highest and the lowest also
had rewards. Altogether it was a
most successful affair.

BOY II WEEKS WITHOUT FOOD.
Nine-Year-OId Lad Suffering from
"Bound Brain" Is Starving to
Death.

Cleveland, O.-Mrs. Nellie Lee, 1897
East Seventy-first street, mother of
nine-year-old Arthur Lee, who has
been fasting for II weeks. is willing
to let some brain specialist operate
upon him. She has come to the con-
clusion with the primary hope of re-
lieving MS long suffering, secondarily
in the interest OF science.
i've spent with doctors every cent
that | possessed, endeavoring to find
out what is the matter with Arthur

The boy is entering his eighteenth
week of fasting. He takes only milk

have been bafied in diagnosing his
case. He has wasted to Is pounds
The four .~ears Mrs. Lee has de:

Doctors have told Mrs. Lee that the

he has been absolutely helpless. He
never talked.
Since year ago Arthur hasn't

he tasted for IL weeks.

OF God," said Mrs. Lee. chokingly.
But the mother love that has led a
forlorn hope for nine years keeps
alive the belief that somewhere there
is a man who can operate and save
her boy. And Mrs. Lee Is praying FOR
