"Oh, no; they must obey the wearer
of the cap. Good-by!" and she scam
pered out of sight. with all the mice
hurrying after her.
Dorothy looked inside the golden
cap and saw some words written upon
the lining. These, she thought, must
be the charm, so she read the direc-
lions carefully and put the cap upon
her head.
"Ep-pe, pep-pe. kak-ke!" she said,
standing on her left foot.
What did you say?" asked the
Scarecrow, who did not know what
she was doing.
"Hil-lo, hol-lo. hel-lo!" Dorothy
went on, standing this time on her
right foot.
"Hello!" replied the Tin woodman,
calmly
"Ziz-zy, zuz-zy. zik!" said Dorothy,
who was now standing on both feet.
This ended the saying of the charm,
and they heard great chattering and
Tapping of wings as the band Of
Winged Monkeys flew up to them.
The King bowed low before Dorothy.

greatest sorrow was that she could
find no one to love in return, since all
the men were much too stupid and
ugly to mate with one SO beautiful and
wise. At last, however. she found a
boy who was handsome and manly

The new Nevada divorce law is,
perhaps. the most elastic ever entered

MY grandfather was at that time

he would see what he could do. At his

came running out to him she found

the pattering of tiny feet, and many of

Dinner EaYors.


We are never too old to admire
sires to give favors has a wide selec-
ton from which to choose for almost
any occasion. A clever person with
deft fingers can make charming cards
and bonbon boxes: the latter may be
round or square. six or eight sided,
heart or diamond shaped. Recently
saw dainty pink satin boxes. oval In
shape. the cover bearing a photograph
on satin of the ship on which the
guest OF honor at this dinner party
was to sail.
For bridal affairs, the monogram OF
the happy jair in gold on white satin
are very elegant. They may contain
wedding cake or bonbons. Small bas-
kets of various styles are lovely used
as nut or sweetmeat holders; some
times an artificial or real flower is
tied to the handle; for instance. a
bunch of forgetme-nots, at farewell
luncheon; or pansies, for thoughts.
The wee jardinieres in brass or china
are very popular for favors, contain
ing one single flower; this prim.
stiff style of decoration is very effec-
tive. especially used with round
table: each jardiniere contributes to
the circle that is formed by one at
each place.
Many of the new place cards are
made to stand upright, especially
when a figure motif is used, and for
some bridal or pre-nuptial affairs, lit
tie dolls dressed as bride and groom
and maids. either form the center
piece under a suspended wedding bell
or there is figure at each plate bear
ing the name card. Dealers furnish
bell-shaped boxes for weddings. in fact
nearly every design is obtainable or
may be ordered.
