In the afternoon, however, Hermosa

"Maud Muller Party.

During these golden October days,
outdoor and indoor parties combined
are quite the thing. A hostess noted
for her originality invited her friends
to Maud Muller" party. The invi-
tations said: Informal; please come
in country costumes" AS she lived in
suburb, time tables were inclosed
with the train marked that she wished
them to take. The hour was five, and
merry throng took the four o'clock
train. An immense hay wogan was at
the station, with the splendid big
horses gayly decorated and driven by
the regular farm men instead of the
liveried coach and footman. There
We're horns for the men, and the
hostess awaited them on the steps of
the port cochere. Big straw hats
were given to the men with red rib
bons and the girls had blue ones.
Rakes with gilt handles were given
the girls, who were thus attired as
Maud Mullers," and went forth to
rake the hay on this charming sum-
mer day which had gotten by mistake
into the fall calendar
The girl who made the largest stack
in ten minutes was awarded a prize;
also, there was prize for the neat.

this, and then pillow was brought for
the men to try their skill, with prizes
for the straightest row, and for the
one made in the quickest time BY
this time twilight was falling and
guests watched the chickens fed and
the COWS MIXED. Then all adjourned
to the dining room, where a suptuous
supper was served everything except
the meats being product of the
place. The decorations were most
unique, being likewise home produc-
tons. Gourds, small squashes and
pumpkins were converted into most
attractive flower holders, and the flow
ers were wild purple asters and gold
en- rod, the combination being a most
happy one. At half-after eight the
hay wagon came to the door and a
drive of an hour was taken over the
hardest of country roads and then
back to the station in time for the ten
o'clock train. Afterwards in talking
it over we all agreed that our host

tertainments were so simple and she
so natural and unaffected. Not but

terrain formally and had plenty of
money to spend; yet her favorite way
was to do things on the spur of the
moment, and she always made use of
the things that were in season.

When to Send Children 70 Europe. A

Some people wait SO long before
sending their children to Europe that
the little ones are Inundated by others
who have already been there. Every
self-respecting parent will be carefils
not to subject his children to this evil
dent injustice; at the same time all:
uEseemly hurry is to be avoided.
Some people argue that as soon as q
child can walk we'll and speak a few
necessary French words. he should be
placed in stateroom, next to q
private bath, and sent to Paris. 9th
ers feel that he must naturally lose
much at this age, and that the proper
time is between five and six, when
as an American-he has reached his
maturity.
Probably the ideal age is about four.

Souvenirs for a Party.

Souvenirs for Party.
At an autumnal party given for
children from eight to ten years of
age, the souvenirs were made by the
guests from corn husks which they
transformed into dolls. A face was
penciled on the green stub of corn,
the husks made the dress and the silk
carefully braided made the hair; bon
nets were also made from the husks.
These dolls were really charming,
and the prize awarded for the best
was delightful little booklet in which
corn husk dolly was the heroine; it
was written by clever woman musi-
clan. This idea is just as applicable
for a "grown-ups" party as for chill
dren, for l never saw a woman yet,
whether she admitted it or not, who
didn't like chance to play dolls.

London receive charitable relief in
their homes.

Polly" declared she must have
some unusual way Of announcing her
engagement, SO after much careful
thought this was evolved: The 20 spe-
cial friends were asked for a thimble
party, and there was nothing doing
until refreshments were served. Then
each guest found a little envelope on
the plate and the hostess explained
that inside there would be found a
lumbled lot of letters, that the letters
of each color would spell one word,
and there was just one word in each
envelope and all were the same color
in each envelope, so each one made
their word, and the light gradually
dawned as the story was told by the
guests putting their words together.

Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness. it is usually neces-
sary to use SO much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste Of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
Bile can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
