SOME SUGGESTIONS
HOSTESSES MAY USE
Many Appropriate Ways to
Entertain at Washington
Birthday Events.

When giving an entertainment OF any
kind. the question naturally uppermost
in the mind of the hostess Is. What
shall / do with my guests-how shall
they be amused?' Her menu. her IA
vors. the decoration OF her supper table,
must all take q back seat. as 1t were,
until this momentous question has been
settled
OF course, one could decide upon
bridge, or upon a progressive euchre
party. but then these things are, after
all. hacfxneyed. and her guests will no
doubt have been doing either one or
the other for at least four nights out of
every seven-fos cards, you know, are
the obvious way of keeping people. if
not amused. at least dociIely quiet
Besides that, the up-.o-date hostess
wants something in keeping with the
occasion, and what, for instance. have
bridge and euchre TO do with the cele-
brating Of Washington's Birthday IN
this case, OF course. she will want either
a colonial game, or one suggestive OF
things national and patriotic.
A very Interesting colonial amuse-
ment was the making OF siIhouettes,
and you would doubtless find that your
guests would take to this with avidity
You should provide yourself with some
cardboard, and some large sheets of
paper, white on one side and black on
the other. Fasten a sheet of paper,
sshite side out, to the wall, and place
a lighted candle about three feet from
the paper.
The one whose picture Is being taken
sits between the candle and the wall.
so that & well defined profile is thrown
upon the paper. The shadow is then
traced cut out, and pasted on card
board with the black side OF the paper
out. The name is then TO be written
underneath with the date. A vote is
taken as to the best sketch, a simple
prize presented 20 the winner, anc each
guest Is presented with his or her sill
houette as souvenir
Another appropriate game is based
upon the career of Washington. Each
guest is given a little map of the At
lantic coast cut from Thin cardboard,
ana ordered TO show the original thir-
teen States and Canada. Each man
should have a little pencil attached to
II by means of a tri-colored ribbon. The
guests are requested to mark all the
points of interest in Washington's ca
reer. tUeny minutes being allowed for
this. and the one reading the greatest
number is then presented with either a
life or Washington or a portrait OF him
Another appropriate game has a time
limit of ten minutes. Pictures Of Wash
ington. Lady Washington, Mt Vernon,
1-yar scenes. and other connected places
and events have been obtained from va
rious magazines ana periodicals, and
cut into several pieces
The fragments are to be neaped up
10 the middle of table, and the guests
requested TO piece them together, after
having been provided with large sheets

tire Is to be built up at a time, and

A few weeks ago shad was considered
a luxury In the fsh line. 1t was only
a question Of time, however. when the
demand for It at the rate OF $1.5O apiece
would cease. That time has come.
North Carolina roe shad was selling
today at H-2S. Bucks also dropped from
70 TO 90 cents. At the reduction In price
heavier sales were made, but II is evil
dent that the quotation viii have TO 20

OF the market luxury class.
So far as competition goes, North Car
olina shad Is scoring a big victory over
its rival from peninsular State waters.
The Florida fish this year is not meet
ing with the same popularity as In for
raer seasons. Generally speaking. how
ever, the shad market is more than I'D
to the average, and prices promise TO be
reduced faster than they were at tbs
time a year ago.

Quarrel Over Woman.

PEORIA, ILL.,. NOV. S.-Insane with jeal-
ousy when he found his sweetheart, Della
Sands, in a room with John Reislng early
this morning, John Hudson. an ex-city en-
ploye, bounced upon the latter and in the
fight received two bullet wounds in the
stomach, from which he died this after
noon. Reising was captured six hours
after the shooting and is in the police sta
tion, where he made a complete confession
of the crime to States Attorney Scholer.
Reising's visit to the Sands home was
purely an accident and not by prearrange-
ment. He did not know Hudson, and when
the latter assaulted him he whipped out
his revolver and fired twice. Reising fled
and was found asleep In a cabin boat. The
witnesses of the shooting maintained a
stubborn silence. declaring they did not
know the name of the assailant, All are
being held for the corOner's inquest, which
will be held today. The dead man was two
years ago tried for killing Charles ogden
with a blow OF his fist, but was acquitted.
Ten men ana three women have been
arrested and are in the oun jail as witt
nesses to the crime. The grand jury, which
viii meet tomorrow, will take up the case
while 1t Is vivid before the witnesses.
Della Sands, over whom the fight was
caused, will favor Reising in her testl-
mony before the jury, because she declares
there was no reason for Hudson's Jealous
attack. Hudson had been married two
months and his wife was a witness TO the
