A Simple Party.

This Is certainly a most amusing
affair and will repay hostess for the
trouble of arranging for 1t. But then
to be a successful hostess the labor
that precedes an event should never
enter into the calculations. There
must be an equal number of men and
women: eight couples make party
easily provided for.
In the invitations to the girls the
hostess requests a sample of the gown
which they will wear and to the men
the missives request sample OF the
necktie: these to be sent in advance
to the hostess. The samples are neat
ly mounted on sample" cards. and
the neckties passed to the girls: the
dress materials to the men. In this
way partners are found for the prog
ressive conversation which will be
passed. and the men are to write de-
scriptions of the gown. the sample Of
which fell to their lot. and the girls
are to write about the ties. material.
style. etc. Five minutes will be given
to these descriptions. and then the pa
pers will be read aloud. The prizes
are to be sample packages of any
product the hostess may select.
The refreshments are to be novel.
inasmuch as the hostess will have the
tea and coffee made by demon.
strator" Zone OF the party who has
been previously asked to do it,. and
the other things are to be served in
boxes marked Samples" There will
be sandwiches of various kinds. olives.

OF the boxes will be spread upon the
table. which is to be supplied with all
the requisites in the way OF dishes.
While at the table the room Is to be
suddenly darkened and little saucers
containing a mixture of chopped nuts,
candies and crackers are to be passed
and eaten. When the lights are turned

LAW Of Attraction.

The attractions of men to women
and women to men are full OF the most
perplexing inconsistencies and contra.
dictions imaginable. 1t is. for instance.
a physical law that magnetism is not
simple attraction Of one thing for an
other, but the difference of two oppos-
ing forces of attraction and repulsion,
of which the former is the greater.
The same law holds in relation to the
attraction of men and women for each
other. in which. as a rule. the mascu-
line is the superior force.-T. P.'s
