BROWN SAYS HE

 Friends

F. Marion Brown, who was tae source of much anxiety Sunday, his friends believing him to be lost in the storm. writes as follows Of .-s SSpe- rience, showing that he was at all times safe:
 Inasmuch as my recent hunting trip seems 10 aave become a matter @ general interest, perhaps a line or amiss.
 To begin With. wish rO staus tnaI l was at no time lost. and consequent ly did not wander aimlessly about" Mir. MOOremen and 1 were together for awhile after the storm struck us un- til his eyes became SO affected that he decided 10 go to the buggy and drive toward the head of the valley. while I was 10 drive paranel > ,is course ana meet h,m later. We sep arated with that understanding about 10 a. m. I went on mp the valley as agreed. but it seems that for some reason the othsr members of the party did not understand the arrangements, and instead 1T following me stayed where I left them.
 After traveIing for about a mile and a half veered to the right to intersect the line of travel agreed upon, and took a position on an eleya- ton where. when the storm iuIIr,., .. could see for a quarter or a half mile. Not seeing anything of them, I sup posed they had taken shelter in some of the settlers homes to wait until the storm had abated, and so about noon l crossed to the road by which We entered the valley. I stopped at the home of Mir. Byrns. near the ,vau, to wait for them, but t seems they hrss 'decitld to Seturn by aIbther route and took the road near the aUvs- hills.
 spent the nignt at the Byrns place and came to town Monday with Mrs. Isaac Bailey and her daughter. did not meet any q the searching party. and did not know that there was one until I was nearly home. sunzl eu no Inconvenience whatever other tnal. that of the unpleasantness Of ths storm
 am very grateful to the citizens for the kind interest that they took in my behalf and regret the univrtd- nate circumstance that hay Hase caused inconvenience to any one. I have been in the west for fifteen years and have travelled tae mouu- tains, the valleys and the deserts with hunting parties and alone at all Huui 5 of the day and night and was never lost, although 1 know that the time snav come when I will suffer such a misfortune, and I sincerely appreciate the kind thOughtfuIness that prompt ed the searching party.

The Linen Wedding.

When the twelfth year of welded life has been achieved, it Is time to celebrate the linen" anniversary This is an occasion much beloved by housewives, for was there ever a woman who did not glory in her linen closet? For the invitations use squares of linen written with indelible ink. The name cards may be done the same way. If possible, cover the floors with canvas, drape chairs and couches with white and hang white pOrtieres. The host and hostess should don pure white for this occasion, and the dear little blue flax flower should be used as a table decoration. < miniature spinning wheel makes a pretty center piece.
 The art Of spinning has been re- vived, and if one is not numbered among the family treasures perhaps one may be borrowed for the evening, and then great amusement is afforded by arranging a spinning contest.
 The prize is awarded to the guest who can spin the most perfect thread in five minutes time. Each thread when finished to be tagged with the makers name and fastened to a square of black cloth hung on the wall Later q committee examines the threads. To find partners for supper wind a spider web with a card marked on the end of each: Your partner is the one who has the mate to your card" These cards are appropriately decorated with spiders in a web done in water. coiOrs

4 Glover Luneheen.


 Would it were possible this morning to impart to the department the breath of new mown hay and fragrant aroma of red and white clover amid which Mime. Merri has been renewing her youth.
 This is a wonderful season for clover, and so the inspiration came for this party, which anyone can carry out who is within reach of clover blooms.
 For decorations use red and white clover in great masses on the porch, in the rooms and for a center piece. The latter would be lovely Of the ex- quisite pink and white clovers. It Is a beautiful variety, which if sold al SO much a dozen hostesses would spend their last cent to get it. Then let the children weave clover chains (per- haps you'd like to make them your self. as did, sending your mind back to the time when . crown of clover was the height of elegance). Use these dainty chains as garlands over the table, or from the overhead lamp to the center. Of course, this affair Is informal, with the guests in tub suits as beft summer functions.
 Serve everything cold as far Es possible. Have cold thiply sliced ham. veal loaf, Saratoga potatoes, sliced tomatoes and cucumbers on water cFess sandwiches, individual moulds Of gelatine topped with whipped cream, iced tea, and add clover honey with tiny hot biscuits to this repast and you have menu it for the gods. Make the place cards clover shaped. If there is a. guest to be especially honored make a four-leaf clover for her place. We have all had Do ye next thynge" preached to us, but use what you have" should also become a maxim. Let us all use Mother Natures bountiful storehouse more freely In this way become acquainted with the so-cslled common flowers.

HOW TO ARRANGE A COPNER
 V or TIE LIVING ROOM 1

FURNISHING the corners of room T is not so simple a task as 1t seems. The important thing 10 bear in mind Is that the four corners must harmon: ize with the rest of the room and with one another. If each is arranged in different way, one general idea should be followed. The suggestion given in the accompanying Illustration for arranging a corner is an excellent one to copy where simplicity and com fort are desired. There is no hint Of stiffness in the arrangement and the corner seat is made to break up that abrupt finish so often seen in built-in seats.
 Instead of the corner seats ending like a divan or veranda seat they are joined to tall pieces of furniture. On the left a high three-cornered cabinet is built into the wall at an angle or the room and at the other end another niece of furniture of different shape and height is placed against the ends of the corner bench. A window on that side breaks up the broad expanse of the walls. This window Is almost square and is hung with stenciled cur tains made of the same material as that covering the corner seat and eushiors. A serviceable material in use now for country houses is . coarse Oriental grass cloth of rather uneven weave and in plain colors. Unless a room is quite large figured effects do not look well. Where the material is repeated in the hangings and the rest of the furnishings it should be chosen with the utmost care. One soon tires of striking col
