An Autumn Leaf Party.


An exceedingly novel party has just
been brought to my notice and will
soon be in season now. In the coun-
try. where leaves remain much longer
on the trees than in the city, hostess
noted for her original ideas, conceived
the idea of turning the clearing of her
large lawn of the autumn leaves into
a frolic.
Over the telephone invitations went
cut to six congenial couples, all good
friends, to come the following Satur-
day attired in warm clothes, with
heavy gloves. Partners were chosen
by rakes tied with ribbons, two OF
each color. Then work began. After
each couple had big pile the hostess
asked that specimen OF each variety
OF leaf be brought into the house.
Then there was an impromptu contest
to see who could name the most varie-
ties. A picnic luncheon was served
and great bOnfires of the leaves were
built after dark.
Afterwards all gathered round the
fireplace. told stories, roasted apples
and chestnuts and begged to be in
cluded in next years leaf party"
Next" year is now this year, and l
know several people who are planning
to have just such jolly parties when
the fall weather lays low the brilliant
red and yellow leaves. The hostess
had made dainty autumn leaf place
cards. done in wood brown with gold
lettering. By the way, this same host
ess told me she was growing cunning
little Norway pine trees in six-inch
pots for Christmas gifts. Capital idea,
don't You think?

To Find Partners,

At a card party the hostess passed
English walnuts which proved to be
candy boxes containing the tiniest of
bonbons in many cOlors. There were
two of each color and partners were
found by matching the candies in
their nuts and then they had them to
eat afterward. There were just seven
tables and all the rainbow tints were
represented, the chairs at the tables
were tied with a huge bow of tulle of
one of the seven colors. The effect

We have had most enjoyable "trip
thus far. In the first place the people
of San Francisco were mighty good
to us, making the day and night we
spent there very delightful with their
cordial and lavish hospitality. and in
the second place the weather, since we
sailed, has been all that could be de-
sired. The sea was bit rough, as
believe it usually is, for a few hours
out, and it will have be admitted that
our first dinner on board could hardly
be called hilarious function. But on
the second day we ran into smooth wa
tiers and for the remainder of the voy-
age it was almost as if we were sail
ing in a land locked bay. The spirits
of the company rose as the pillows fell,
and each day seemed to pass more
pleasantly and rapidly than the last.

of the Siberia contributed in every
possible way, not only to the comfort
but to the entertainment of the party,
while Mr. Mcclellan, Mr.. Babbitt, Mr.

their hospitabIe attentions. 1t was
under their direction that ball was
