After the fifth, or wooden" wedding
comes the seventh or "woolen," ami
versary. If in winter the thought of
wool is rather pleasant; however, the
party may be made novel and attrac-
tive at any season. There are various
ways of indicating in the invitations
the nature of the event to be celebrat-
ed. If one has time and patience and
there are not many guests, the invita-
lions may be worked in wool on card
board, kindergarten fashion; they may
be written on cards and inclosed in
crocheted envelopes, or they may be
tied with colored zephyrs. This even
ing of wool gathering" may have
more than one pastime. A sewing con-
test is easily arranged with the kim
dergarten pictures which come in
box, the needles and worsted all ready
for work. Then there may be a Won
der ball of yarn to be unraveled, with
story to be told, the teller to stop
when a favor is reached, then pass the
ball and the narrative on to the next
person. Then there could be a cobweb
party with woolen-or, rather, Worsted
web, and partners to be found by
matching bits OF colored yarns The
hostess, to add zest to the party, will
say that two prizes are of more value
than the others, and this will excite
the wool gatherers" to do their best.
Have all the favors of wool, and it is
surprising how many articles are OBJ
tainable--pen wipers with woolly ami
mails on top, a pair of wooden socks
(for fun), a pair of mittens, a little
white woolly lamb, knit bedroom Slip
pers, etc.
Crocheting a plain long chain is a
good contest. See who can crochet the
longest chain in ten minutes. In the
'dhenu sandwiches of lamb or lamb pat
ties instead of chicken could be served.
Little toy sheep, with a big sheep for
centerpiece, are appropriate, and
with bow of blue ribbon around the
neck are really pretty. A clever host
ess will see many other novel posi-
bilities.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

Busy little fingers in the great de-
partment stores make yard after yard
of buttonholes upon different grades OF
white material so that the hurried
seamstress can buy those tedious little
articles ready for use.
By making tiny loops in the end of
the dress shields and stitching narrow
white wash ribbon in the lingerie
sleeves, shields can be quickly adjusted
and there is no metallic arrangement
to rust the goods.
In making an elastic waist band to
hold the blouse in place, it has been
found advisable to slip a piece of ruff
fed gum in at the back which does not
slip UP as easily as the smooth elastic.
Some made belts are corrugated.
While it is nice to see embroidered
initials upon the towels and bed linen,
yet there is no need of the busy woman
making the initial monographs, when
beautiful ones can be purchased ready
to sew on any article, and they are
very cheap.

SCHEDULE OF HAMMERS

Many parents seem to expect that
their children will pick up their good
manners outside of the home, in school
or while visiting. This is fatal mis-
take. Every home should be a school
of good manners and good breeding.
The children should be taught that
there is nothing more important than
the development of an interesting per-
sonality, an attractive presence and an
ability to entertain with grace and
ease. They should be taught that the
great object of life is to develop a
superb personality. a noble manhood
and womanhood.
There is no art like that of a beau
tiful behavior. a fine manner, no wealth
greater than that of pleasing person
ality.-Success.

down the road a piece" Soon after

A SAMPLE PARTY" is most
n amusing affair and will repay
IA hostess for the trouble of arrang-
ing for it. But then to be a success
full hostess the labor that precedes an
event should never enter into the cal
culations. There must be an equal
number of men and women; eight
couples make a party easily provided
for.
In the invitations to the girls the
hostess requests a sample of the
gown which they will wear and to the
men the missives request sample of
the necktie these to be sent in adj
vance to the hostess. The samples are
neatly mounted on sample" cards and
the neckties passed to the girls; the
dress materials to the men. In this
way partners are found for the pro-
gressive conversation which will be
passed, and the men are to write de-
scriptions of the gown, the sample of
which fell to their lot, and the girls
are to write about the ties, material,
style, etc. Five minutes will be given
to these descriptions, and then the pa
pers will be read aloud. The prizes are
to be sample packages OIL any product
the hostess may select.
The refreshments are to be novel,
inasmuch as the hostess will have the
tea and coffee made by a "demonstra-
tor" Zone of the party who has been
previously asked to do it,, and the 9TH
er things are to be served in boxes
marked Samples" There will be
small sandwiches of various kinds,
olives, salad, small cakes, etc. The
contents of the boxes will be spread
upon the table, which is to be supplied
with all the requisites in the way Of

Twenty-Five Trains Snowbound

THOUSANDS TURNED BACK
Feared Tkev Would Not To Able to
Get Ont CT Washington Inst Night
Immense Damage TO Poles
nnd Wircs-rwo People
Killed In baltimore.

Baltimore, March 1.-THE storm Of
last night and early to-day seemed
10 center In Baltimore and vicinity.
The train service between Balti-
more and Washington and IIavrc De
Grace was crippled so that great
crowd OF persons from philadelphia
New York and other northern cities
were stranded at tho railroad stations
unable TO proceed to the capital fo-
the inaugurat ion ceremonies. This
condition OF affairs was due chiefly to
the blowing down OF the telegraph.
telephone and other wires and poles
and snow drifts along the railroad
tracks, which made IL impossible for
the trains TO proceed with safety. At
500 a. m. % trains were stalled be-
tween baltimore and Washington. but
1t is believed all Of them got into
Washington before noon.
When tho railroad and :ele.raph
and telephone people realized tho
havoc tina. had beer wrought. they
got their wreckins gangs to work
with the result that by noon things
were cleared up enough to permit Of
slow traffic
North. who were unable to proceed to
Washington. waited 70: hours for
trains to take them to their homes
one OF the first trains to reach the
Union station of the Pennsylvania
railroad was the Colonial express,
which runs between Washington and
Boston. This train left Washington
several hours after the scheduled time
$50 a. NJ, and arrived in Baltimore
at half past one o'clock in the after
noon nearly FIVE hours late. 1t was
crowded with Philadelphians, New
Workers and other Northerners who
early In the morning decided to start
for their homes rather than run the
risk OF being snowbound in the capital
city over night. Extra day coaches
wer, attached to the train and those
who had been stranded In the Monu-
mental city gladly started homeward.
Aside from the damage done to the
wires and poles. two persons at least
are known to have lost their lives
both of whom were electrocutcd by
coming in contact with fallen wires.
