The Meeting Of the Governors.


Whatever name may be formally
adopted as BETTING the scope Of the
annual meeting OF the governors who
shall assemble to compare views. the
movement Is likely to be important
aud the results encouraging. The first
meeting was announced as confer
encc. "A house OF governors has
been suggested. although in such con-
ncction the word "house" would imply
legislative functions, which. of course,
governors do not perform.
Uniformity In laws throughout the
states would be generally desirable,
md the governors might help toward
this end. But uniformity in the spirit
In which laws are lived up to is also
essential. and here the influence and
cooperation OF governors would be
effective. A wide range OF topics has
been suggested as proper to bring be-
fore conference Of the heads Of the
several states. Among these are mar
rlagc and divorce. the status Of wom-
on, prison reform, election reform and
special taxation. EXtradltion Is mat
ter of executive action and Is all the
more a subject for governors to con-
slider, most all others being finally
dependent upon legislative will. True,
relief through federal legislation Is
often difficult and must come through
state action.

FireSide Parties for Young Girls

ncters from an involved situation created
by some one else, There is another ques-
ton of choice in whether the story telling
IS done in the order In which the guests
sit or by attaching numbers 10 the rib

wishes TO give n prize she can have vote
taken at the end TO decide who has told
the most interesting part OF the story and

quite complete il is we'll to have the prize
for party of this kind something that is
appropriate to the occasion. such as
book or some pretty picture Of a hreside
scene.
Another amusing way to entertain n
firesde party OF young people Is with one
variety of the gossip game" There arc
several ways OF playing this game the
most amusing of which is done in this
way. The person Mt one end OF the group
whispers (not very distinctly 10 the next
one some statement. Then the second one
whispers to her next neishbor something
else When every one along the line has
had q turn at listening To some little story
and at telling one herself, the first listener
tells what she heard. and her ncighbor
who whispered it tells what hc or she
really said. and the difference between
them is often very funny. This is carried
on down the line. or else tho hostess calls
on one guest 10 tell what she heard and
then on the teller for the actual tale.
Next she calls on some one else in the
same way. jumping around the group un-

can be made-as to whose little Item OF
news was most interesting and who came

story at one end of the line and repeating
the same thing as it is heard until it
reaches the other end. Then every ono
tells what she heard and what she said.
In this case IT must not be Just n state
ment; there must be n little story, and
the telling of it aloud must be begun OF
tho reverse end OF the line
A third kind OF fireside party is made
up of ghost stories When the invita-
tions are sent each guest is told thnt he
or she must come prepared to tell ghost
story. She may find n good one in some
book and learn IL so that she can tell il
10 an interesting way or originate her
story or tell one she has heard. For the
telling of these stories there must be no
light in the room but that of the fire. and
the fire must b. one of flickering embers
just kept going by an occasional piece of
wood. The fantastic shadows made by
little flickering flames help in the effect
of the stories. And the darkness Is sbSo-
lutely necessary when ghosts arc in qucs-
ton. OF course the awarding Of tho prizo
TO the best story is obvious in this case.
but it might bc well to have two prizes,

which can be so satisfactorily Numbered.
The simple gowns of the lightest weight
serge or cashmere are unqucstionably
most attractive for the Schoolroom, but
the white wash waists which are still
generally worn soil and musS too readily
to be s,nnrt. Silk is, of course, not very
appropriate, but, after all the dark col
ored crepe de Chine wears extremely well
and with simple white collar and cuffs OF
embroidered linen makes an extremely
pretty bodice for every day
great majority OF the newest waists,
however, arc of foulard, the background
of the same color as the skirt with which
the waist is worn aud the white figure

These foulard waists were first worn last
spring, but their popularity did not COM
mcnce sufficiently carly for their vogue to
be in any way hampered. Certainly fou-
lard is a delightful weight for separate

But for the first trip abroad there
should be other preparation besides the

European trip is undertaken almost as
casually as a journey to any summer re

to some one or two countries, which are
to be seen thoroughly and at leisure, in-

first requisite for this entertainment is

The prospective hostess should get few

lect the sticks. If she lives in the city she
can probably find some woods near enough

train ride. and the trip out into the coun-
try will be fun in itself The number OF
sticks needed will depend on the number

must be broken into pieces somewhere

and effective scheme TO tic the bundles
with different colorcd ribbons two being
tied with each color, and then the guests
match ribbons when they receive their
sticks of wood and each pair sit together
in the group around the fire.
The way the sticks are used and the
whole plan Of the party is in this wise -
One guest unties his or her bundle and
throws one stick on the FIRE, at the same
time beginning to tell a story. When the
hrst stick has burned away another must
be thrown on the fire. and so on until the
sticks are all burned, the same person
keeping the story going as long as his
sticks last When the last fOGot has gone
OH the FIRE the next guest must unite his
bundle and be ready to tnke up the story
in his turn. And so it goes on until all
those bundles of fagots have gone up in
smoke and every one in the group has had
an opportunity to show his or her skill in
story telling.
OF course the hostess can choose
whether she would rather have a number
Of short stories or one long one. but there
is generally more fun made by continuing
one story through the whole group of
people and making one cxtricate the char.
