DEVELOPING TEMPERAMENT

CUTTING GOODS

1t is difficult matter to cut away
the material under lace insertion with
out severing a wrong thread unless
means of overcoming the trouble be
employed. Use a piece of cardboard
four inches long, rounded at one end
and cut wide enough to slip along be-
tween lace and the material. This will
make the work easier and safer.

FOR ENTERTAINMENT
AN AIRsHIP PARTY

This affair was given by a mother
whose pocketbook does not have to be
consulted when she does social st 1nts,
and her parties for her 10-year-old son
are notable events in the community.
One good thing is that she is most
democratic in her invitations and is
bringing up her son in fine broad
minded way. On this occasion all the
children in his room at school were
included in the invitation and j assure
you the youngsters were kesnly alert
as to what the party was to be.
l am delighted to be able to tell all
about it. First they played "Airship,
Just exactly as stage coach is played,
only the children were the gasoline,
propellers, oar, rope stars, moon, wihd,
etc, and what an exciting story was
built by the clever man who was IN
duced to be the driver and when
the arship met with an accident how
all the boys and girls got up and spun
around Then there was a balloon con-
test, the company was divided into
sides, each one given paper Japan
ese balloon, which they had to in lale
and blow over line made by putting
up a rope across the living room, the
balloons being kept in motion by blow
ing and tanning with palm leaf fans.
The game for each side was to get as
many balls over the line onto their
"side." After ten or fifteen minutes
the spoils were counted and a kite
given as a prize, which went to the
winning captain. over the dining
room table was suspended a large fly
ing machine made into Jack Hor-
ner" pie. The colors were red and
white and there were ribbons from the
car to the table, one for each child. In
the car were doll passengers dressed
to represent different nation alities.
This creation was really wonderful and
the children went into ecstasies. At
each place there was a cunning little
kite of red and white with the child
name attached to the tail. At a gwen
signal the ribbons were pulled and
the doll passengers tumbled down WITH
a dainty red and white swapping mot
to cap tied to each one. All the favors
and the airship pie" were fdrnished
by big department store, but fancy
the whole scheme could be carried out
by clever fingers at home.

A score of good and hardy men

Davy, the nineteenth to die, lay
under the snow at eighty-nine for

leader and survivor, was in excel

There were well-marked caches of
provisions all along the return
route. The white-and-purple ice
field was smoother going as the
great goal came nearer. Though
absolutely alone, the intrepid ex-i
plorer felt sanguine of success.
Besides the death of his COM
panions, however, one thing
ciouded his dreams. Sled runners,
cans, bits of fur had been found
here and there; and Wilburn
knew what they must foretell.
