spirit of the occasion and made it a
success. Each person was asked to
bring something in an envelope, as
space must be considered when one is

the way the envelope scheme devel-

Then there was nest of long envel-
opes tied together filled with all sorts
of interesting clippings, anecdotes, ar
ticles of interest along the lines that
the voyager was especially to study.
One envelope contained wee
deck of cards for playing solitaire, an
other held courtplaster; one had
snap shots of home scenes and near

hand illuminated mottos, and, best of
all, a rich bachelor uncle took this
way of giving his niece some green

After the Announcement.

It would be ridiculous to say that a
girl should be more careful of her
manners at one time than at others,
but nevertheless it is perfectly true
that a girls actions are more likely
to be,scrutiized and criticisedron GER
tain occasions than on.others. Per
haps girl is more apt to be criti-
cised during the early part of her en-
gagement than at other times. Every
small act of a girl is under the sever
est inspection by the family and
friends of her future husband, and
especially if she has not been known
to them before. It's an exceedingly
wise young woman who conducts her
self so that even the most critical
could find no fault.
1t would seem unnecessary to say
that a girl should not accept any at
tentions from any young men, yet
there are many young women who
make the foolish and seemingly harm
/ less mistake. It is not the place of a
young girl to make any advances to
the family Of her fiance, except un.
der exceptiona, conditions. The the.
DRY is that a girl should watt to be
welcomed into the family to which
lhn WIN belong in the future. and II

"Puzzie" Announcement Party.

Quite recently hostess used puz-
Gle pictures to announce the engage.
ment of the guest of honor. The club
to which the young couple belonged
were invited and as no one suspected
the news that was to be revealed, the
affair was entirely successful.
rabies and puzzles were arranged
so that four persons worked together,
the hostess explained that when the
SIX tables had completed their puz-
zles a very interesting story Would be
woven from the pictures; that prize
would be awarded to the one who first
guessed the story. The first picture
put together showed a boy and girl
with a map upon which there were
two states, Maine and Ohio; the Sec
ond puzzle revealed man and girl
dancing with the words yale and
'sVassar."
Then the third picture was poser,
for it was simply cut of White
Star liner, the fourth puzzle was a
Pullman train marked California
Limited;;" The fifth was a scene in a
PARK, with a couple sitting under the
trees, and the sixth was a bride and
groom walking UP the aisle over
which were the initials of the young
couple.
The prize was a large box of con-
fetti with which the pair were duly
showered. Congratulations followed
and every one was delighted. The
hostess had painted some of. the pic
lures, pasted them on thin sheets of
wood and a boy friend cut them out
on his Jig saw. Post cards, advertise
ments and magazines furnished the
others.
A delicious salad of canned aspara-
gus, sprinkled with grated cheese and
mayonnaise with a garnish of stuffed
olives cut in halves. Cheese straws
were passed with it, and lemonade, in
which a bottle of ginger ale was
added in the proportion of a bottle to
every quart of lemonade.

A dainty candle shade gives a pref
ty finish to table, mantel or dresser,
and the new tinted flower shades
mounted over colored silk are most
attractive. The woman who is clever
with her brushes may make no end
of pretty things, but these shades may
be initiated even by those who know
nothing about painting, providing they
put the color on in neat, careful
manner. Nj,
The first step is to trace the design
on piece of water-color paper, then
color it, either shading, if one knows
how, or using fiat washes with pen
and ink outline. In the latter case
use waterproof ink, going over every
line when the paint is dry. This wash
and outline work is quite as effective
as the more difficult light and shade.
In either case use a light brown for
the stems, two shades of green for the
leaves, the smaller leaves the lighter,
and the centers of the flowers yellow,
with the inner petals of the roses
deep rose and the outer petals deli
cate pink. This is, mounted over a
pink silk shade.
The design is planned so that the

FALL PAINTING.

The majority of property owners
are under the impression that spring
time Is the only painting time. But
the fall Of the year offers several adj
vantages to the painter. One of the
most important is that surfaces are
almost sure to be dry, and there is no
frost or inner moisture to work out
after the paint is applied.

joining of the shade is imperceptible.
The tab marked A slips under the cor.
responding letter on the opposite
side, B and B, and c under the letter
G: The tabs are to be glued in this
manner. Before joining, however,
the background of the design is to be
cut out with small pointed scissors,
leaving a delicate tracery of leaves
and flowers. The effect of the silk
under the flowers is very pretty.
The little shades may be purchased
all ready to slip the painted shade
over, and the design given is planned
to exactly fit them. They come
bead-fringed in all colors for so cents,
the best variety with silk outside and
a lining Of mica, thin substance that
will not burn. Then there are dainty
little separate silk Innings of different
colors with silk fringe to match for
Is cents. ~
The pink shades are, perhaps, the
most effective with the wild rose de.
sign, but yellow is also pretty. If a
yellow lining is used, then the flowers
may be painted yellow. A light green
lining is also pretty under the pink or
yellow shade.
