ular earrings. that were SO long consid- cred "out," are now enjoying a new lease of favor; they are usually of the small solitaire kind-pearls being par ticularly popular An odd feature, and one most convincing of the power of the same word, fashion" is that while it was once almost a regulation thing to pierce a girls ears-a distinct period. like lengthening the skirts or doing up the hair-rnany of the girls who have been born, as one might say, out of the earring season, have never undergone this ceremony. Many mothers and fathers have pronounced it barbarous practice, but the jewellers have readily met the occasion by producing a clasp by which the earring may be attached to the lobe of the ear, with no necessity for piercing.
 Using Artificial Stones
 Another development in the jewelry world IS the wearing of mock jewels. We once held the principle. real jewels or no jewels at all, but now mock gems are worn. not in the hope that they may be mistaken for the real, but quite frankly for what they are. These are not the worthless, impossible stones one might think, but the product of careful chemical experiment.. and command a price that gives them a certain value, though bringing them within the reach of personal allowance that would make the real gems unattainable

uiarly to a slim arm. Many of the fabric gloves have open-work tops, and these are, to some minds, SO suggestive of open-work stockings that an original idea is welcomed, and this is found in the gloves that have the tops decorated with the ever-popular open-work or eye let embroidery.
 The effect IS very good, and usually in harmony with some part of the gown, though 1t IS not necessary that 1t should match any other embroidery there may be The fabric gloves cling to the arm more closely than kid, yet that need not prevent one wearing the very attractive armlets sold for the purpose of pre- venting the gloves from slipping down from the elbow. Armlets
 When the sleeves do not cover the elbow, 1t is rather necessary that the gloves shall; a bare elbow showing be- tween the edge of the sleeve and the top of the glove is not at all attractive. These armlets, when first introduced, were made of ribbon covered elastic, but these have been superseded by bracelet like affairs of jewels and beads. One of their attractive features is that they may readily be of home manufacture
 Jewel beads arc used and are divided by rows of plain small beads Fine silk elastic is used on which to string them, and as these jewel beads may be bought in coral, turquoise, amethyst-in fact in imitation of almost any of the semi precious stones-there is opportunity for matching almost any costume.

 The rooms on the ground floor, which open out of one another, should have the trim stained all in one color; like wise the walls should be tinted in one color. This uniformity in scheme is never monotonous and gives refined and livable effect.
 In the house illustrated, the two front bedrooms may be converted into one bedroom by emitting the partition indi- cated by the dotted lines Bedrooms should always have light and air on two sides of the room where possible. Cross ventilation of this sort will make the rooms very much cooler in the summer time.

A LITTLE GIRLS BIRTHDAY
 PARTY
Helping Her to Play Hostess Successfully

TT would seem as though having a
 large amount of money to spend
 in getting up party would be
 enough to insure its success. E'It this IS far from being the case, especially as regards a party for children
 The main thing, I have found, is for the "grown-ups" who are superintend- ing the party to have thought out some general plan of entertainment, so that the children will pass from one game to another without any of those awkward pauses where one says hopelessly: "What shall we do next to amuse them?'
 Arranging the Games
 One party given to celebrate a little girls sixth birthday gave the children such a happy time that I am going to give brief description of 1t, thinking it may offer some suggestions to others.
 The, invitations were written on cards decorated with borders of pretty little Mother Goose pictures, and requested the children's presence from half-past two o'clock till six
 Hunting Nuts
 Ten little boys and girls came, and when they had all arrived, each child was provided with a small bag made of odd bits of silk or cotton stuff, and told that there were lots of walnuts and peanuts hidden around the room and they could have fifteen minutes to hunt for them; at the end of that time who ever had gathered the most nuts should have a prize.
 The nuts had been hidden previ- ously under. curtains and chairs and in corners. Of course they should always be within reach of even the smallest child. When the time was up a bell

"NHE small accessories of ones
 costume seem, if possible, of
 greater importance in the
 summertime than in the win ter season. It is certain that in many respects greater variety IS neces- sary. while at the same time it seems as if many of the summer belongings may be of less expensive nature than those designed for the more formal affairs of the winter season. Chemisettes or guimpes for the favorite Jumper" frocks must be supplied in quantities. but while for summer wear Persian lawn with imitation Val lace is entirely cor rect, one would want all-over lace or net or chiffon and real lace (no matter how little) to complete the winter cos tune. And. by the way, the popular nets of the summer and early fall season will be the square mesh-the so-called flet nets-rather than the round mesh One who IS not inclined to be ultra fashionable. and can see as much beauty in the round mesh variety as in the square, will be likely to find some bar gains in the kind having the least de mand.
 Gloves and Sleeves
 The glove question and the sleeve problem are so closely allied that one answer will practically cover both. It is not likely that really long sleeves will be worn on any but the strictly plain tailored coats, on which any other kind of sleeve would be glaringly out of place. Most of us prefer the fabric gloves for comfort during the warm weather, and as yery few long sleeves are seen at this time. the long gloves are in demand.

Below the pin, in group of jewelry, IS shown a pop ular form of neck-chain, particularly Suitable for summer waist that IS cut in round or square neck. Only the front of the chain IS decorative; a very fine link chain completes it at the back.
 Pearls are very much liked, and the best of the limitations practically defy detection by any but an expert A bracelet shown Tn a very fashionable New York shop is composed of open work scroll figures, each having a stone inset at the center. and linked together into a pliable chain. What is aptly termed vanity locket is shown at the fashionable shops. Apparently an ordi- nary gold locket, a mirror is fitted into the cover and the body of the locket forms a case in which is enclosed a tiny powder-puff-a valuable friend in warm weather.
 Combs
 Combs will certainly permit a choice of style; just now the rather high and narrow back IS perhaps a little more in favor. but the comb depends in such great measure upon the style of hair dressing that Is most becoming, that con siderable individuality of choice is per missible. Here. too. the mock jewels are used. the tortoisesheli being in some cases inlaid with gold and silver, which is inset with rhlnestones and pearls. For combs to be worn on dress occasions, the jewelcd forms are very popular, though for ordinary wear one would naturally select something of less showy design.
 The pins with ball or hattened round heads are very good form and very decorative in certain types of hair dress ing Real tortoiseshell Is expensive. but there are excellent limitations. that will make the loss or accidental break age of a comb or pin minor calamity. These limitations, like the mock jewels. while moderate in price, are not what one would call cheap, and one need not, on that score, object to wearing them.

Fishing Pond

After that came the Fishing Pond" which proved a great success. Behind two portieres, completely out of sight, sat the lady of the party; in her lap were ten small packages, all tied with string. At the other side of the curtains the assistant lady called up each child in turn and handed him a iishing-rod, which he put through between the cur tains and pulled back as soon as he felt something tug at the other end of the line. A softly whispered Boy" or "Girl' was sufficient to give the one be- hind the curtain a clue as to who was going to fish next and insured each child

None of the prizes cost more than ten cents.
 Ring Games
 The children ..Jw al gathered into a ring and played Oats, peas, beans,' and one or two other games. of that char aoter. While they were thus engaged the lady of the party" was pinning up the picture of large Teddy Bear, and soon each child was given a tiny hat with a pin in it, and in turn each little girl and boy was blindfolded and sent across the room to try and put Teddy's hat on his head; of course pinning the hats in all sorts of ridiculous places led to much merriment, and at last the child who had most nearly succeeded in put ting the hat in the right place received a prize.

Finding Partners

Finding Partners
 After that Git being then about half past four) each child was given a small ribbon bow and told to find someone who had bow of that same color, who would be his partner for the march in to supper When the little boy with the light-blue bow had found a little girl with a light-blue bow, and the others had all paired off, the assistant lady" played a march on the piano and the children marched around the room and into the dining-room.
 Here yellow and white was the color scheme; in the center of the table was a tall glass vase filled with yellow and white chrysanthemums; yellow satin rib bon tied in two bows crossed the white lace centerpiece, four candles with vel low shades stood at the corners, and a birthday cake with white icing and six yellow candles stood at one end of the table, while at the other was a Jack Horner pie made of yellow and white Itissue-paper.

 N rior will prove to be very much more efficient than ar A -A exterior covered with wood Although the first cost of cement IS greater than wood, it proves to be cheaper in the long run.
 There are many different kinds of surfaces for exterior cement work. Much of it is what is called rough cast"-that is, the finished coat is conl- posed of small gravel or pebbles coated with cement mortar and thrown or cast upon the surface of the building, where ii adheres. Another surface frequently used is what is known as rough sand finish" Rough Sand Finish
 In work of this kind the final coat is cement and very coarse sand applied with a wooden trowel or a carpet float This leaves 2 coarse granular surface, very pleasing to the eye. Rough cast IS probably more durable than the rough sand finish, as the texture of the gravel makes rock-like protecting surface.
 On a small house, however, the rough sand finish is more tasteful. This latter finish may become checked" from shrinkage, but as the tiny hair lines of the checks" do not extend beyond the surface, such finish is very durable and the lines do not mar its beauty The house illustrated Is finished with rough sand finish on narrow laths, with water proof building paper underneath to keep out the dampness.

Simplicity in tho Supper

The feast was very simple, little cups of bouillon with chicken sandwiches, followed by ice-cream and sponge-cakes and macaroons. The birthday cake was cut by the little hostess, who gave each child a piece; and then came the Jack Horner pie, which differed somewhat from that described for the grown-up party, as a present was provided for each child. These, like the other gifts, were very inexpensive.
 Then cap notices were pulled, and about half-past five the children were ready for another game. Hide the Handkerchief" and a few other old favorites filled up the time till the nurses and mothers began to arrive. and the children. tired and happy and grasping their little gifts, were hurried home.

ADMITS He MAY CALL

Oklahoma City. Okla, Sept. 1S.-
Governor c. N. Haskell last night ad-
mitted he has tentative plans looking
to the calling Of special session of
the legislature to ask for an appro-
priation for installing state oil pipe
line to the gulf
He said If he were convinced that
to build such line were feasible, and
that it would be the only method of
giving relief to the Independent op-
orators. he would make such recon-
mendation.
The recent execution of a contract
between the Standard Oil company
and the Midland Valley Railway com
pany, whereby the latter is to haul
fifty car tanks Of oil per day to the
Standards refinery at Baton Rouge,
is considered among oil producers a
verification of the theory that the

andoned it's project for installing a
pipe line to the gulf
