NOVEL FAVOR GIVING.
Presents Tied In Packages and Fas-
toned 70 Umbrella Ribs,

Presents Tied In Packages and Fas-
toned 70 Umbrella Ribs.
Mothers In search of new stunts for
giving favors at a child's party should
not omit the umbrella method. This is
as easily managed as pie or grab bag
and is much more picturesque.
Cover IN old silk umbrella with gay
pictures and festoon 1t with strips Of
bright tissue paper or colored ribbons.
The handle can also be twined with
colored muslin, though 1t should be
done very tightly to keep taut under
youthful vigor in handling. Small
sleigh bells dangling from each rib add
to the merriment.
Tie up plenty of small favors in tis-
sue paper packages and fasten them to
the ribs by strings of different length.
There should be at least one package
for each young guest. Several for each
child will be yet more fun.
Form the children in a large circle,
with one Of their number in the center
holding the umbrella.
Some one at the piano should play n
gay march or twostep, and the chill
dren should move in a grand chain
first in one direction, then in the other.
When the music suddenly stops the
dancers stop with it. and the child In
the center raises the umbrella high
above his head three times.
The present that sways longest is
his. Great is the excitement Of the
circle watching the dangling gifts and
speculating on what their friend will
draw.
Before the umbrella holder unties his
gift he calls out to boy or girl, as the
case may be:
"Jane, come next within the ring!
The magical umbrella swing
And see what gift shower will bring
To you while we do dance and sing"
The new child holds the umbrella
while the first one unties and exam
hes the contents Of his package. Then
the dance goes on as before until ev-
cry child has had turn at twirling
the umbrella and feeling its fairy
shower,

NEW SHORT STORIES
Ailancad Tho Crow.

Mrs. Isaac L. Rice, the brilliant
leader of the anti-noise crusade, has
canned noises. as she quantity calls
them, wherewith to illustrate her elo-
quent addresses. Mrs. Rice, that is to
say, demonstrates with actual phono-
graphic records the hideous street din
of New York.
Discussing the other day animal
notes.-the night noise Of prowling
cats. the sunrise noise Of roosters kept
IN alleys-Mrs. Rice said:
"An anti-noise man got the better Of
an inconsiderate Socialist last month.
1t is queer story.
'oThe antt-noise man, nervous Jour-
nalist, lived in a Brooklyn fat, and
the Socialist, his landlord, lived below
him. The Socialist kept talking crow
you know crows talk If their tongues
are split-and this bird from its cage
on the balcony roared all day long:
"'Hurrah for Debs! Hurrah for
Debsv
"All through the presidential cam
paign the journalist got no sleep on
account of the crows socialistic cheers.
Though no great foe to socialism, he
came to loathe the very thought of
Debs.
"He tried to buy the crow, offering
as much as $25 for 1t. In vain. He
besought its owner to keep 1t indoors.

If you want to look very pretty and
have red cheeks for some festivity, you
can do this. Rub cold cream into the
face. always with an upward. rotary
movement Wipe that of, rub in more
and wipe it off again. Then wash the
face with hot water Then dash cold
water over it and dry it thoroughly
with a soft towel. To add the final
touch take small piece Of ice, cover
with towel and rub gently three or
four times over the cheek bones. This
gives color which will last for hours
and is really Il mild form Of Turkish
bath for the face. Many ladies before
going out use leather sponges, rubbing
the cheeks first with warm water, then
hot water, and dry thoroughly. This
gives lovely color.

mo, sIREE!" EXCLAIMED THE SOCIALIST.
In vain. This unsocial Socialist was
to proud of his crow to curtail a mo-
ment of it's noisy Debs enthusiasm.
"The journalist was afraid to kill or
steal the crow lest the owner, discov-
ering his guilt, turn him out Of the
f1athouse. He did, however, a willy
thing.
HE went to a pet stock dealer,
bought a crow that couldn't say a
word and the next day, watching his
chance, substituted the dumb bird for
the loquaciOus one.
The journalist met the Socialist in
cigar store the other day.
Don't you ever regret he said,
that you refused my liberal offer for
your talking crow?
"'No. stree! exclaimed the Socialist
warmly. 4 value that bird more than
ever now. Why. man, would you be-
lieve it, ever since the defeat of Eu-
gene V. Debs the crow hasn't opened

An interesting fact in connection
with the English suffragette move
ment is that there are fourteen women
who are said to be entitled. through
rank, to sit in the English house of
lords. They do not use their privilege
because they do not wish to. Among
these women who may take their seats
some time in the future if the suffrage
plank wins are Lady de Ros, Lady
Kinloss, Lady Beaumont, Baroness
Clifton and Baroness Wentworth.

Her Gift.

She has within her woman's hand to hold
A mans great heart, full pulsed and

How now shall woman's victory be told?
Which conquest win, the rightful or the

She has within her honor or caprice
The gift of rapture and the curse of
woe.
Which will she offer, misery or peace?
We answer both, for man will have 1t so.

MAY ATTAIN HIS AMBITION.
DR.. Richard Strauss Likely to Be
Elected an "Immortal."

Special CabIegfam 10 Inc star.
BERLIN, February 13.-It is under
stood in well informed quarters that DR..
Richard Strauss will shortly attain his
great ambition by becoming one Of Ger
manys 'tinmortals"-that is to say,
member of the Royal Academy OF Art
and Science.
The honor has hitherto been with
held from the composer of ''Salome"
and Electra on account Of the
Revolutionary character Of his mu-
sic. The opposition was led in re-
cent years the great vjolinist. the
late Joseph Joachim AS the chief
Of group of "reactionaries" who had
never become reconcied even to Wagner.
he persistently refused to regard DR..
Strauss as a suitable candidate for the
noble company.
The prejudice against him was strength
ened by the fact that his unconventional
music had never enjoyed the favor of
either the kaiser or the kafSerin. The
empress, who was sent to hear the COM
poser's opera "Feuersnot'' a few years
ago, came away SO distressed that it has
not been performed at the Berlin Royal
Opera since.
Electra" has proven that DR.. Strauss
has hewn out a new path for German
music which is destined to be the line of
true development, and the senate Of the
Royal Academy has come to the conclu-
sion that it would stultify itself by ex-
Guiding the composer any longer.

LONDON. February 13.-The theatrical
and music hall world was astounded by
the news that George Scott, the well

where he had resided for the past four
years. He committed suicide by shoot
ing himself through the head with a dou-
ble-barreled gun, and when he was found
by an attendant. who had rushed to his
room on hearing the shots. he was lying
across the bed, dressed in his pa1amas.
with the gun between his knees.
On the previous night Mr.. Scott had
been with several friends at the National
Sporting Club, and was congratulated on
his appointment as acting manager for
Miss Marie Dressler's season at the Aid
wych Theater About midnight he re-
turned to the hotel and went to his room.
It seems that Mr.. Scott had received
registered letter from a firm of solicitors
requesting the payment OF an account
amounting to $500.
What happened afterward Is matter
Of conjecture. But the porter heard three
shots, and on entering the room found
sufficient evidence to warrant the opln-
ion that Mr.. Scott had first Of all tried
the gun by firing two shots at some pic
lures and then reloaded and turned 1t on
himself.
Mr. Scott was born in Plymouth fifty
three years ago, and in his young days
