evenings and Saturdays CATER his les
sons for the morrow had been
learned) he spent in carving photo
graph frames from pine wood. Some
times these frames were unique In
shape, being oval Or heart shaped.
But he usually clung to the more con-
ventional square. On these bits Of
plain wood he would carve the most
exquisite designs, flowers, quaint
Dutch designs and fairy boats bearing
cupids. Again he would carve con-
ventional designs, but they were al
ways original After the carving was
finished and the frame put together,
it would be treated to a coating OF
gilt, bronze or ebony. The latter ef-
feet was obtained by using highly
refined black paint and soft varnish.
Just before the holidays the boy
would put his hand carved frames on
sale at some store, and his friends
would gladly avail themselves of pos
sessing them. The highest priced
frame would bring but dollar and
half, while some of the less preten-
tious would sell for seventy-five cents.
The cost of the frames-not counting
the workmanship, of course-aver-
aged about twenty cents apiece, or
thereabouts.
When the summer vacation rolled
around the boy wood carver had a
neat sum to spend on trip to the
seashore, to the mountains, or to de-
fray a camping expedition on the
river near to his home.-Washingto

FOR A GIRLS PARTY.

A mother writing to me to ask
about giving birthday party for her
eighteen-year-old daughter omits to
mention whether the festivity is to be
in the afternoon or evening. For a
girl of that age 1 think the evening
is better. She is quite old enough
for entertainments held at night, and
such celebrations help t initiate her
into the usages of good society and In
the art of entertaining.
For such an affair the invitations
should be in the form of notes, writ
ten by the mother, for the girl is not
supposed to do the inviting, her
guests being bidden for her. The
mother writes directly to the girls and
boys she wishes to come, and may
use her own discretion as to whether
or not she mentions the fact of her
daughters birthday being the reason
for the party. Should she do so, it is
taken for granted that the guests will
send some sort of gift, IL only t1oW-
ers. For this reason some parents
prefer not to have the birthday known
previously, not caring to put their
guests in the position of being obliged
to send presents.
For young folks cards are a con-
genial way of passing the evening.
and there may be tables for both
hearts and euchre The tables should
be arranged before the guests arrive.
Partners may be assigned by name
cards placed at the tables where each
guest is to sit. These little cards may
be bought inexpensively. They make
a pretty souvenir of the evening.
There should be a first and con-
ISOLATION prize for both boys and girls,
and a second prize, if the guests are
many in number. Some hostesses
now prefer to have one prize for the
highest score at each table, omitting
the consolation. Tallies and pencils
must be provided for each player. 1t
is nice to have a little dish of candy
and another of nuts on each table.
If cards grow tiresome nonsense"
games make mirth for ALL To play
these, one person starts story or
nonsense and, after a couple of min
utes, stops in the middle of the SEN
tence, calling the name of the person
who is to continue. No excuse for
getting out of talking is to be per-
mitted, and the tumble that ensues
in the attempt to carry on the thread
is extremely funny.
At the close, which comes when
every guest has been called upon once
a prize may be awarded to the one
considered to have done the best, the
award being made by vote.
If there is a piano, and any one can
play, informal dancing will AFFORD
amusement to the young folk.
Supper may consist of salad, oys-
ters. ice cream and cakes, with can
dies, sandwiches and nuts. These
should all be placed on the dining
room table, which must be decorated
with ribbons and candles with colored
shades a~ flowers, as the ingenuity
of the hostess can devise. The boys
should serve the girls. 1t is we'll to
have a maid in the room to remove
the soiled dishes.
The mother is in evidence through
out the evening She is with her
daughter to receive the guests, after
which duty she spends the evening
in an endeavor to have each guest
enjoy him or herself. - Rosanna
Schuyler, in the Washington Star.

A PET SNAKE.

I am going to tell you how friend
of mine captured a snake. We were
up in the Kearny woods playing In
dian, and were gathering leaves to
make a bonfire. Gordon (for that
was my friends name) went to hol-
low to get a nice armful, when a
small snake jumped out from under
the leaves and started away. Gordon
picked up stick which he found and
hit the snake lightly on the head.
We thought it was dead, and put it
in an old tin can to take it home.
When we got lone we discovered
that it was alive. We measured it
and found that it was just twenty
inches long.
1 still have it, and it seems to be
as happy as ever. 1t plays in the
grass, and is not afraid Of me any
more.-Philip H. Coe, in the New
York Tribune.

Bank Acts as Pawnshop.

That a large banking firm in the
financial district makes practice of
lending money on jewels was discov-
cred yesterday through a writ of re-
plevin for $4,000 worth of diamonds
in favor of the T. Kirkpatrick Com
pany, of Fifth avenue. The bank had
loaned $500 on the precious stones
to John B. Lyman, an art dealer at
Forty-fifth street and Fifth avenue,
who left the city several days ago.
The name of the bank on which
the writ of replevin was served was
withheld by the sheriff's Office and
by the jewelry company.
Art objects, including oil paintings
and marble statues, to the value of
s15,055, were replevined from Ly.

placed ION sale by Edmund F. Bon
aventure. One small statuette was
valued at $22OO.-New York Ameri.

HOW A BOY MADE MONEY

1t is the nature of boys to be in
dustrious They like to feel bit in
dependent of their parents when it
comes to money. Almost every boy
one meets is desirous of earning lit
tie spending money" and will well
come any suggestion by which he may
be enabled to do so. And these boys
want the money for good purposes,
too, sometimes helping to defray their
own educational expenses.
A boy once known to the writer
was real money maker. He attend
ed high school regularly, and never
missed a day, nor did he ever miss
his exams. And yet this same boy
earned about SIS each winter during
t1e school term. He was more than
clever At carving on wood. and bis

What Can a Woman Doo

England, it is estimated, uses 30..
100000 bird skins yearly; Europe,
15O,0OO,OO0; America, 50,000,000.
Yet back of the feather merchant and
plume hunter who supply the skins
are the men who make a fashion for
women and then impose it upon
them, subtly, irresistibly. Much ef-
fort has been expended toward induc-
ing women not to follow a fashion

MY SLED.

When father brought my sled to me
I watched and watched and watched to SCI
If all the sky would turn to gray
And we should have a snowy day.
1t seemed as if the sun so bright
Had all the snowfakes locked up tight;
But then when l was sound asleep
One night the snow fell fast and deep.
Then after breakfast Tom and |
Put on our wraps and leggings high;
No one could stay indoors, you know,
With such a sled and such snow!
And Frisky barked so furiously
To go along with Tom and me,
That we put on his coat of blue,
All wolly and warm, and took him, too.
Isn't it fun when you've sled,
just new, you know, and painted red,
And when the street is white with snow
In every place sled can go?
