"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
a 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
were 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 prize;
also, there was a prize for the neat
est stack. The men superintendent
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 spurious
supper was served, everything except
the meats being a 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
ess was so successful because her en-
tertainments were so simple and she
so natural and unaffected. Not but
what she could and sometimes did en-
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.

Announcing an Engagement.

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 thimble
party, and there was nothing doing
until refreshments were served. Then
each guest found little envelope on
the plate and the hostess explained
that inside there would be found a
iumbled 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.
1t was great fun and ended the after.
noon in a most happy manner, as the
little Bride-elect was a great favorite,
and she was fairly beaming when all
began to offer good wishes and wanted
to know "all about it."

Souvenirs for a 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; 1t
was written by clever woman must
clan. This idea is just as applicable
for 'grown-ups" party as for chill
dren, for 1 never saw a woman yet,
whether she admitted it or not, who
didn't like chance to play dolls.

THE NEW WOMAN
Made over by Quitting Coffee.

Coffee probably wrecks a greater
percentage OF Southerners than of
Northern people for Southerners use
it more freely.
The work it does is distressing
enough in some instances; as an il
lustration, woman Of Richmond,
Va, writes:
Il was a coffee drinker for years
and for about six years my health
was completely shattered. l suffered
fearfuIly with headaches and nervous
ness also palpitation of the heart and
loss OF appetite.
MY sight gradually began to fail
and finally 1 lost the sight of one
ted upon and the sight partially re-
stored, then l became totally blind
in the other eye.
MY doctor used to urge me to give
up coffee but l was W1lful and con-
tinued to drink it until finally in a
case of severe illness the doctor in
sisted that / must give up the cof-
fee, so I began using Postum and
in a month l felt like a new creature.

strength About a month ago [ be-
gan using Grape-Nuts and the effect
has been wonderful. I really feel like
q new woman and have gained about

I am quite an elderly lady and be-
fore usAng Postum and Grape-Nuts I
could not walk a square without ex-
ceeding fatigue, now I walk ten or
twelve without feeling it. Formerly
in reading ] could remember but lit

what I read.
Several friends who have seen the
remarkable effects of Postum and
Grape Nuts on me have urged that

WANT MORE MEMBERS.
Commercial Club viii Begin Cam
paien for $50.

board of directors of the Commercial
club took place this noon.
One of the most interesting reports
winch came up was in regard to the
cafe which is under the management
OF Mrs. Mary Riley, caterer During
the period from april 10, when the cafe
commenced operation to August 1, it
was run at a loss Of but $28.S4 A
comparison, with the cafe of the Com
T ercial club at Wichita is interesting.
There the restaurant was run at an
average loss of 5000 a month
1He local cafe has successfully served
rs purpose Of getting the men together
Hlng such an establishment in the sum
n-er time is necessarily higher and the
re CeiptS smaller than during other
tunes of the year. There is the ice
pill, and the loss of rerishable goods
1t is expected that the cafe will easily
pay for itself in the fall.
Inc next regular meeting of the club
van De held on the second Friday in
september. 1t was recommended that
a program committee Consisting Of
rec gentlemen be appointed To- ar
range programs for this and other
meetings throughout the year.

The Bridge Extension Question.

To the Editor of the State Journal.
Before We vote on the extension of
the Mean bridge $50 feet to the south,
we would like to ask a few questions.
Does the whole city have to pay for
this extension? North Topeka spent
some 600 20 build bikes around it
TO keep out the food and now feels
pretty safe-why should it be called
upon to help the South side protect it
self? Why can't the South side build
bikes also? Is there any assurance that
the river viii be widened $50 feet all
the way along? viii VOLTS packing
house be cut off $50 feet? Who will
nay for all this property taken to
widen the river? Where viii they get
the funds to cut away the grounI $50
feet all along from above the Rock
Island bridge to Oakland? Why will
rot bikes keep the river out? Please
answer if you can and oblige yours and
gone others.
