A Novel Euchre Party.

This pretty card party was conduct
ed like a cotillion and was a great
success. 1t was given for 40 guests
and the tables were scattered through
out the large rooms of spacious
country house. In the first place each
guest found her place at table with
three others by means of a souvenir
name card.
When all had arrived and were
seated at the table the hostess was
very particular to personally introduce
each partner, if unacquainted, which
made every one feel more comfort
able. Then the bell rang and playing
began, four games were to be played
and the losers were the ones to move
going to table for favors, these they
gave to the winners at the other
tables, who were taken to the table
of the loser and thus they met an
entirely new set of players. There

After five sets Of favors had seen

playing was resumed until all the
favors had been used. At the last
each loser brought an extra favor for
her favored partner and her self,
which called forth much merrimert as
they were large paper sacks blown
out and tied at the top with various
colored ribbons. They were to carry

Follow the Leader.

Try this for jolly outdoor amuse-
ment. It was used at a party given
in the country but II may be adapted
to everyday play. At this party the
hostess told the children to shut their
eyes tight until they heard a bell
ring, then they were to open their
eyes and follow closely the paper trail.
A basket had been filed with finely
clipped paper, this was strewn In
circles, squares and most intricate
mazes; sometimes it would apparent
ly be entirely lost. At these points
there would be banana, an orange,
a stick of candy or something as a
bait, then scrap of paper would re-
veal the trail, which finally lead into
a delightful little grove where pic
mic supper was served. It is a bit
like the good old game of Hare and
Hounds" All children love mysteri-
GUS play of this kind and it is not
much trouble to prepare for.

An Dld-Fashloned Tea Party.

This party was given by the dear.
est cf-1 don't like to say old ladies';
guess I had better say the hostess
was over seventy years young. She
lived IN house we all loved for it's
traditions. for its stately old mahog-
any, Cor its beautiful willow ware,
and. rest of all. for the charming gea-
tlewo'nan who presided over it's do
main with an air and grace that are
simply indescribable. She had enter
tanned the mothers Of the young girls
whom she was entertaining on this
day with the same old china, the same
delfciously brewed tea and the same
brown, crusty sponge cake Of a vel
vety texture. She always made It a
practise to entertain the girls once a
year. "Just to keep in TOUCH" she
said She read this poem Of the
legend of the willow" ware in re-

plates. I give it entire, knowing full

1t and to how many it will bring back
happy childhood memories, for many
OF us had grandmothers who used
willow" plates and some told the
stories woven thereon:
On grandma's table is waiting for me
A plate with ginger bread piled:
Bread and milk, and berries and cream,
And the mug marked, For a good
child"
And I eat my supper and wonder where
That wonderful land may be,
Where the sky is white and the earth Is
blue,
That on my plate see.
"Grandma, you know most everything
Tell me the story Of it all;
Do the long-tailed birds know how to
sing;
Did princess live in that castle small?
The princess hair in a fairy tale
Is generally gold, but this is blue.
How does the boat go without any sail?
Tell me the story grandma, do"
So she tells the legend, centuries old,
OF the mandarin, rich in land and gold;
OF Li-Chi fair, and Chang the good,
Who loved each other as lovers should
How they hid In the gardeners hut
while,
Then flew away to the beautiful isle;
Though the cruel father pursued them
there,
And would have killed the happy pair
But kindly power, by pity stirred
u.
Grandma puts her spectacles on,
And shows me on the plate
The mandarin's house, the island home
The boat, the bridge, the gate;
Here Is the orange tree where they
talked
Here they are running away
And over all at the top to see
The birds are making love Away"
And the little figures seem to live
Strange fancies fill my head,
Till grandma tells me, much too soon,
It's time to go to bed.
But dream of land all blue and white. |
l see the lovers take their flight;
Over the arching bridge they go
One of the lover birds flies below
From the little house with the turned-up
edges
Come tiny lords and ladies and pages:
And the bed-post turns to willow tree.
And at last seem myself to be
An azure lassie wandering through
That beautiful queer little land of blue.

From behind the mat of snow-white

up-unmistakably the odor of his IA

the door of the carriage. Again the
familiar whistle invited him.

far as to put one forepaw on the low

in caressing voice. At the same time
a square of fresh, juicy liver was edged
nearer the door. That was too much
for an empty stomach. Poodles leaped
in, the door slammed and the carriage
rolled swiftly away.
The arch-conspirators, for there
were two of them, looked into the eyes
of each other and laughed. Poodles,
deeply engrossed in the delicacy of
liver, remained blissfully ignorant of
the fact that he was being stolen.

But quicker than that had been the

The story is an old one OF the bank
clerk who stopped a run on his bank by

Senator Root Continues Summing
Up at The Hague Tribunal.


The Hague, Aug. s-United States Sen
ator Elihu Root continued his argument
here to-day on behalf OF the United
States IN the Newfoundland fisheries dis
pute.
Mr.. Root has upheld the American
rights in the fisheries and has stated that
those rights were not subject 20 the reg
ulations OF Great Britain. To-day he con-
tested the assertion that the United
States. after the conclusion OF the treaty
OF 1915 in which the American rights
were defined as liberty IN common. q"
acknowledged that in certain cases tho
fishery rights were subordinate 10 the
British fishery legislation. The United
States. said Mr., Root. had recognized
only the validity Of the laws which did
not conflict with the treaty.
Mr.. Root maintained that Lord Bat
hurst in ISIS. Lord Maimesbury in 1852.
and Lord Salisbury in 1850 had admitted
that the rights Of the Americans In the
fisheries were unlimited and absolute.
