Amusements for Summer Parties.

This is the season Of outdoor enter
| tatnments, for most of our readers, It
not sojourners by the sea or on the
mountain top, may arrange for novel
entertainments in the open air by uti-
lizing 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 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 number; a duplicate number
was given out. The hostess re-
quested the guest who drew No. to
look at the fagots; If he had No. the
Nundle was laid on the blaze, and he
lad to tell story, sing song or
Sance 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; a sweet singer rendered some
Hawaiian love songs which she
learned from the natives while on the
island. The result was very good.
There were IL guests and IL 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 a 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
Hgee shirts with duck or flannel
trusers and serge coats.

every summer. A regular hay-rack
wagon met them at the station; it had
boards across the side so no one could
spill out and was gayly decorated
with suntlowers, boughs of trees and
cattails.
The unique feature of this picnic
was in the serving of refreshments
Each child was given a wooden plate
and paper napkin. Then over the
grounds were interesting booths,
shaded by large green and white UNI
brellas. They were also placarded
No. 1, No. 2, etc. There was a grown

cession. The first stop was No. 1,

guests sat in semi-circle on a big

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 gilded, some silvered,
and some tied with blue ribbon. The
gold nuts scored 20, silver 10 and
blue ribbons were 5. The one who
had the highest score won a prize,
the next highest and the lowest also
had rewards. Altogether it was
