A Tree Shower.

A hostess with a large lawn de-
vised this original and pretty shower
for a summer bride-elect. She had
the lawn gayly decorated with Ian
terms and rugs spread in cozy spots
surrounded by shrubbery with camp
chairs and little tables where tea was
served.
The guests were asked to bring ar
ticles for a miscellaneous" shower.
After they arrived there was short
musical program of love songs. The
packages were tied to a beautiful
evergreen, a real little Christmas
tree. It certainly was a loaded tree,
for the hostess had added a lot Of tin
things like cooky cutters, graters, ETC..
that sparkled in a most bewitching
manner.
Each parcel was accompanied by a
rhyme or sentiment, which was read
aloud. The bride-elect was handed a
pair Of scissors and clipped the rib
bons, opening each parcel as she took
it down. This with serving Of refresh
ments furnished entertainment for
time specified on the invitations, from
three to FIVE" Every one was de-
lighted with the novelty and pro-

luncheon.
For Pre-Nuptial luncheons.

The slipper, bell, rose, heart, true
lovers knot and circle (ring) are all
appropriate symbols for place cards
at bride-elect's luncheon or dinner
party. They may be easily made at
home. First cut the design out of
paper until it is satisfactory, then use
as a pattern on heavy dull paper or
cardboard that comes for just such
purposes.
A very slight knowledge of water
colors will serve to decorate them
with orange blossoms, forget-me -nots,
heads of pretty girls with coronets OF
tiny roses and the bride with filmy
veil.
Entire figure place cards are ef-
fective with standard to hold them
upright at each plate. At one dinner
for bridal party the place cards
were little photographs of the bride
and groom in frames of gilt with mats
made from the bridal gown.
A coterie of college girls had these
unique souvenirs. which also served
as place cards. Books were made of
white satin, with the words Our We'd
ding Cards" done in gold. They were
to preserve the wedding cards Of the
girls as they came out, and there were
spaces for newspaper clippings de-
scriptive of the event; also places for
few written notes.
l think photographs of the bride and
groom should be added to make this
record complete. The name of each
girl was done in gold on the outside
cover, and thus it made the place card

morning after we arrived Johnny was
excused from the table and went out

the way into the sitting room and we
all knelt down in prayer. Imagine my
horror to see Johnny's little face peer

lesson IN NATURAL HISTORY
Amusing, But Somewhat Expensive
a. Miss Patty Realized When
the Goat Was Through.

Miss Patty Shepard of North Thir-
teenth street went to the country with
a party of friends On Memorial day.
They stopped at a farmhouse where
some of the party are well known.
Browsing about was an old goat.
When Miss Patty saw her the nanny
was placidly nibbling at few blades
of grass, and she innocently thought
that goats were strictly vegetarians.
On the lawn in front Of the porch she
had put her handsome new peach
basket hat, trimmed with pretty ar
tificial roses, which she had got from
the store the night before. The goat
saw the hat and advanced joyfully to-
ward it. Miss Patty laughed. "The
old thing thinks they're real roses,'
she laughed. Won't she be fooled
when she smells them?'
Everybody sat still to watch the
goat smell the artificial flowers and
walk away. But the goat fooled them.
The next week Miss Patty bought
another hat.-Philadelphia Times.

LIKENED HERSELF TO Elijah
Somewhat Peculiar Light In Which
Pious Old Lady Regarded Cats
Act Of Theft.

A reporter, during the Dayton cele-
bration, condemned the numerous
pilferers of Wright aeronautical ideas.
They pilfer SO smugly. too" the
reporter said. "They pretend that the
ideas they steal were born in their
own brains years ago. Strange,
though, isn't 1t, that you alone pat
practical use?'
Orville Wright smiled and an
swered:
They have indeed a righteous air,
these pilferers. They actually believe,
1 am sure, that they have just claim
to the ideas they filch. They remind
me of old Mrs. Harrington
"a neighbor of old Mrs. Harring.
toms killed a fine pig one day. He
cut it up and hung the pieces in his
woodshed. Mrs. Harrington's cat
climbed into the shed that night
stole large pork chop and carried il
home to her mistress. .
The minister happened to call on
the old lady the next day. She was
just frying the chop. She told the
minister how miraculbusly it. had been
brought to her by the cat.
And oh, sir, she said, piously, ii
was most beautiful to see the way the
sweet animal brought me the pork
chop. It quite recalled to my mind
what we read in holy writ about
Elijah and the ravens. "->Cnicago

A week from tomorrow is Labor
day with a capital L." said a bright
young teacher, as she thought of re-
turning to the schoolroom. Learn to
labor and to wait" may have done in
the time when it was written, but
Learn to Labor, not to wait" is more
applicable to this day and generation,
for he who waits is hopelessly lost in
the shuttle.
But for the party of which l want to
tell it struck me as very good thing.
The hostess is young matron, who
is long in the knowledge of the so
called fine, arts, but she is wofully
lacking in the knowledge of what l
call the finer art'-viz., domestic
science. Having been recently mar
ried and being desirous of doing

only with modern approved methods,
she has asked six older housekeepers
to come to luncheon on Labor day,
and the invitations stipu1ate that each
one must be prepared to tell and, per-
haps, illustrate, some practical way

The hostess is going to provide cum

which will be written these discover

symbols of labor in miniature-tiny
brooms, dustpans, tubs, etc.-and the

Starch were used. In order to get the

sary to use so much starch that the

appearance, but also affects the wear.
