A BRIDAL LUNCHEON
NEW IDEAS IN TABLE DECORA-
TIoN AND PLACE CARDS.
How the Hostess May Easily Evolve
Something Attractive for Lunch
cons Teas and Dinners Con-
nected With Marriage.

Every hostess takes pride in invest
ing novel and pretty decorations for
her luncheons, teas and dinners, n
she takes special pride when the guest
of honor is a young bride or bride-to-
be. 1t is never a difficult matter to
evolve something attractive for a fes-
tivity connected with marriage, for
there are SO many charming designs
that can be used-cupids, hearts, we'd
ding bells, wedding rings and the
like. Il
At a recent luncheon given for an
engaged girl the color scheme was
pink and white, pink being the IA
vorite color Of the bride-elect. The
hostess was the latter's closest friend
and all the guests were intimates OF
the two, which made the luncheon a
very jolly affair.
The chandelier, above the table, was
festooned with pink and white tulle,
and suspended from it was a large
golden hoop. Stimulating a wedding
ring. From the hoop streamers OF
pink and white ribbon stretched to
each cover, held In place there by
tiny cupids, each cupid bearing a card
with the name of the guest to whom
the place had been assigned. Bride
roses filled a cut glass bowl in the
center of the table, were clustered
in vases and bowls on ~sideboard and
mantel, and nodded in banks from the
low window seats.
Yellow luncheons are very appropri-
ate when the guest of honor is a bride,
since yellow suggests sunshine. At
one such luncheon in early summer
last year a wedding bell covered with
field daisies with yellow hearts n
black-eyed Susans with yellow petals
hung above the table. A big fiat dish
of old brass, filed with yellow lady's
slippers, stood in the center of the
table, and a wreath of daisies and smi-
lax followed the curve of the table,
just inside the plates. Daisy festoons
stretched from the chandelier to the
four corners of the o and daisies
and black-eyed Susans and tall feath-
cry grasses were banked on the man.
telpiece and massed in earthenWare
pots of quaint and unusual shapes.
The place cards at this luncheon
were tiny yellow satin slippers filled
with rice, the little card with the
name on 1t half hidden In the rice.
Other pretty place cards for en-
gagement or bridal luncheons are
hand-painted designs showing a girls
head framed in a wedding ring, cupids
peeping through a heart design, or
twin hearts pierced with arrows. A
woman with some skill in water col
ors and a certain amount of invention
can easily paint the cards for a lunch
con and, knowing the fads and fancies
of her guests, can get in little person
al touches that will enliven the lunch
con immensely.

Vast Sum Which We Spend o Peanuts

roots OF n plant, which furnishes
nitrogen to 1t from the air.
The result of all this is that scien-
lists claim that the peanut, which In
the past was not very highly regard
ed, is the only food staple that will
at once nourish man, beast, bird and
fields. 1t is the most nutritious of the
entire nut family, rich In tissue build
ing properties. containing glucose and
carbohydrates-and is the cheapest.
Beyond the shadow Of a doubt 1t Is
first from both a dietary and econom-
ic standpoint.
The fact of the matter is the pea
nut in about every way is in a class
by itself as regards price, average
number In pound. edible part, waste
and fat. They average about $50 to
a pound at a cost of ten cents, tho
edible portion is 1875, waste 26.4. and
the amount of fat is placed at 80 per
cent. These are remarkable figures
when one stops to consider them, and
brought out more clearly when COM
pared with the small Texas pecan, its
nearest competitor, which sells for
over a third more. averages but ZIG
to a pound, has a waste of 61.8 per
cent, edible part Of 1872, and contains
68 per cent. of fat.
The farming of peanuts during the
past five years-not longer than this
has become an established industry
of this country. At present about fve-
sixths of the crop comes from Vir-
ginia and most Of the balance from
Tennessee, Georgia, West Virginia
and the Carolinas, although most OF
the southern states contribute some.
AS the peanut industry has increased
so has the use of all nuts grown
nightly as an article of food during
the last decade, and the entire fam
lily now forms a most important part
of the diet Of the physical ~culturist
and vegetarian.

The law is specific in declaring
against ~misbranding insecticides. If a
well-meaning citizen of the United
States puts up a compound that he
says will rid a house of, say, bugs,

there seems no way to determine
whether the compound is misbrand-

goes to the premises and holds a

whether they mitigate OF vacate with

The biological survey has issued an
informal statement already, saying that
the law is remiss in that 1t does not
include rats among the insects to
be prevented. An effort is being made
to see whether the law officers are
willing to consider rats as insects.
DR.. Henshaw of the biological sur

real of entomology are going to call
to their aid the legal advice OF Judge
Pugh of the police court. Judge Pugh,

HOVER-SCHIFFNER TEAM TO PLAY GONZAGA
TO DECIDE THE WINNER OF FORMER GAME
IS in Glidden Tour This Year
to Lnuade Heart of South and Southwest

Without the blare Of drums and
bugles or the rattle and crack of
musketry, but with the blare of the
- automobile horn and the rattle and
crack of the engines as an accom-
paniment, the south Is to be in
vaded this year, and the invasion
will be by the autoists who partici-
pate in this years renewal of the
Glidden tour.
The automobile world recognizes
the fact that in the south and the
great southwest lies one of the
greatest markets for the automo-
been touched as yet, even in these
days of strenuous competition. Con-
sequently the manufacturers anX-
lOus to show the people in these
sections of the country just what
can be accomplished by an auto
mobile under all conditions, routed
the Glidden tour through the coun-
try.
The peaceful invasion starts from
Cincinnati, June 5, and the autoists
will then strike south through Ken
lucky, taking in the edge of the ia
nous blue grass country and pass
ing through the old towns of Lex
ington, Georgetown and Frankfort,
the state capital.
Some of the roads are good, as
the drivers of the Chalmers go"
pathfinder and the Mitchell Ranger
cars learned, and some of them are
bad and when a road in the south
is bad it is very bad, indeed.
The drivers will go through Ten
nessee. Mississippi, be ferried
across the Mississippi river, landing
at Helena, Ark, and then proceed
southwest into Texas.
Down through the great "Black-
waxy" belt where the Texan tells
you anything it is possible to grow
any place can be raised, and out
into the alkali brush of the west
ern part of the Lone Star state the
route leads. Then the drivers turn
north passing through Oklahoma,
Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa
and Illinois, stopping at Chicago.
The total mileage to be covered Is
291S.9 miles.
The Glidden tour is the blue rib
bon American road event. Speed
does not count so much as RELIABLE
ity and mechanical perfection in
the cars entered. Consequently
manufacturers are at considerable
pains and expense to send the best
machine their factory can produce
to enter the tour.
Chas. J. Glidden. wealthy sports
man of Boston, Mass, started the
tour, and offered a cup for the win
ner. He himself, with his wife, has
participated in several of them. and
will probably be at the wheel of his
own car in the tour this year.

!IdPLE TRICK OF THE REMNANT TEAM

Just how simple are some of the
tricks relied upon by top notch
teams to win games, or get out of a
tight hole, is shown by the little
thing worked by the three time PEN

The Detroit team on the first day
of this season found itself In tight

age, the catcher, called for waste
ball, stepped out from behind the
bat as II to throw to second. He
did make bluff to throw and the
runer slipped back toward the bag,
but the man on first paid no atten-
ton, and when the catcher suddenly
turned and threw to first, he was
caught flat footed and retired.
Later In the game and the next
day the same trick was tried, but II
failed to work, and the newspapers,

mitted by all those who follow the
national game.
Take the case Of a pitcher like
Walter Johnson with the Washing
ton outfit. There is no doubt that
Johnson Is one Of the best pitchers
in the game, but If his percentage
of games won each season were
taken as criterion of his ability,
his ranking would be low. This Is
the fault OF the team, not the
pitcher. Put Johnson ON winning
team and he would rank as high as
the pitchers whose names appear at
the top of the list. The present sys-
tenn Is unfair to pitchers who are
unfortunate in being on weak
teams.
Then there should be some

they are for making an error. A
man may make lot of errors and
still be a good ball tosser. while
your player with the solid bone
headpiece may get through the sea-
son with but few errors charged to
him, and when the averages are
published he will rank higher than
the brainy man who has made er.

bic enough to keep from becoming
bored with life, and it would only
be fair to the brainy men of the
game. Also it might serve to stir
the dull witted players and give
them an added incentive for Kidding
their brain mechanism of kinks.

gest their general efficiency be

the pitchers ability on the number

Baseball men all over the country
are wondering what induced Tom
Lynch, president of the National
league, to issue his edict barring
newspaper photographers from the
grounds of the older organization
during the playing Of the game. You
will notice that Ban Johnson. presi-
dent of the American league; Tom
Chivington, president of the Amer

boss of the Eastern league, the
other three big baseball Organiza-
lions. haven't issued any such or
der. Indeed, they have all an
nounced their intention of continu-
ing to permit photographers on the
field.
Lynch evidently has been the vic

pretty severe grilling in all of the
