4 FTERNOON tea on the porch is
~ one of the most pleasant features
possible on summer day, and 1t
is essential that the appointments of
the tea table should be in keeping
with the shady coolness of the porch.
For this cloth, simple designs and
materials of rather rustic texture
are the most effective. such as home
spun linen, linen huckabuck and crash.
Among the most attractive of the
tea cloths are those with the design
outlined and the background filled in
with darning stitch. Such one is
shown In the sketch. The water lily
design is outlined with dark green
floss, and the background filled in
with lighter shade of green--a de.
lightfully leafy, silvery shade like
June foliage. The material is natural

is dyed 10 match the darker green in

FARMER WILkS' BEARD
MAKES MEAL FOR GOAT
HUNGRY ANIMAL ON ROOF GAR
DEN ATTACKS FREAK WHIsk-
ERs OF FELLOW PERFORMER.

New York--List to the sad tale of
the lost whiskers of Farmer Wiiks.
Those who have wandered upon the
roof OF the Hammerstein theater know
Wilks, the man who draws a comforta-
Bile salary simply because he has the
longest beard under cultivation in the
world. AT least. that's the advertise
ment.
AT night when the vaudeville per
formance is given up in the air Farmer
Wilks is quite the most prideful thing
on the little Hammerstein farm. Until
the accident his whiskers measured 10
feet 9la inches from face to tip. Now
they are much shorter and he will be

forced to spend many weary months
on his Iowa farm repairing the raw
ages of the Hammerstein goat
The goat has always been jealous of
the whiskers OF the Iowa farmer. The
goat has whiskers only ten inches
long and time after time his goatlets
has been seen gazing enviously at the
farmer and then look down despair
ingly upon his own short and foolish
looking beard.
Farmer Wilks droppel into a sound
slumber after the intermission.
The jokes on the stage did not
arouse him and the songs did not have
the slightest effect upon his sleep. He
dreamed of whiskers 40 feet long as
he lay on the rug on which he exhib-
its his whiskers.
The few who sat at the tables back
in the farmyard paid no attention to
the farmer or the whiskers, and they
did not heed the goat
But the goat was busy. Softly he
crept out of his stall and approached
Farmer Wilks. Then he began to
browse upon the beard.
Farmer Wilks awoke with cry of
pain. The goat had swallowed a part
of the beard and was nibbling away at
the rest.
Farmer Wilks beat at the goat with
his bare hands. crying piteously in a
way that attracted the attention OF
Harry Mock. Harry Mock drove the
goat away and rescued what was left
of the whiskers.
1t was impossible to determine the
extent of the loss. but it is believed
that the goat ate off at least two feet
of beard. Farmer Wilks was incon.
solable and his grief was all the great
er when he learned that his contract
provides that he shall be paid in pro-
portion to the length of his beard and
that any accident to the beard may
cancel his contract at the option of
the management.

SHOCKED THE HOSTESS.
4 Practical Joke That Was psrps.
trated BY Euuene Field.


There are many stories incident to
the career Of the late Eugene Field,
who not only wrote songs for the chill
dren, but who was at times fond OF
practical jokes, which illustrate his In
imitable humor.
On one occasion he played an unex.
pected part ut dinner given In honor
Of himself and his wife which, while
II had its serious side, was made all
the more enjoyable by the grave de-
pertinent Of Mr.. Field.
The dinner was given by a leading
Chicago family. When all were seat
ed Mr. Field repaired " the pantry.
only to return in few moments with
q dozen or more costly gold embrOid-
cred wineglasses. the property Of the
hostess, which, to her silent astOnish-
ment. he proceeded to hand over to
each guest one by one, souvenir Of
the occasion.
Great was the merriment when 1t
was realized that the hostess had not
contemplated parting with her cher
ished glasses But Mr.. Field was not
yet content. Returning them to the
pantry by previous arrangement with
the butler, he took up a tray OF old
bottles and other broken glassware
and, pretending to stumble. dropped 1t
on the floor. apparently shattering the
valuable wineglasses.
The feelings Of the hostess may be
ina gined, for it was some time before
the real situation was understood.
