SOMETHING NEW IN "SHOWER'
Basket Party for Bride Novel and
Thoroughly Enjoyable
Function.

Mary Brideto-Be had been showered
until she began to feel mildewed. She
had been showered with aprons. stock
ings and handkerchiefs; she had been
showered with kitchenware, bags and
table linen; she had been honored at
SO many fetes and feastings that she
was assured by her father that If she
didn't marry soon she would bankrupt
the community. So when Comrade
Kate announced new shower, she
positively refused, but finally consent
ed to harmless basket party.
On the day Of the picnic she was
delayed by any number Of things, and
when she reached the open place in
the woods where the tablecloth was
to be spread, she was astonished at
the queer collection OF baskets hud-
died under tree. When Kate ap.
peared on the scene, struggling under
the weight Of tall, brown waste bas-
ket. Mary's suspicious were aroused.
but Kate declared she had perfect
right to bring a pitcher of lemonade
in waste basket II she wanted to;
besides, the handle Of the pitcher was
broken off. and, besides. again, this
was basket party. and food had to
be conveyed in baskets! Ruth brought
shallow garden basket full OF flow
ers for the centerpiece Of the spread.
Jane brought silver basket of creamy
yellow lined with felt, which held the
knives and forks borrowed for the af-
fair.
There was an old-fashioned splint
basket full Of deviled eggs. exactly
like the basket, which always had
stood on grandmother's back shelf
for hunting eggs" There was a large
fruit basket of dull green willow filled
with fruits. A large pumpkin round
basket held bottles of olives and
pickles. but. of course. 1t was born
plain stocking basket. A shallow
basket OF reddish brown was full Of
sandwiches.
A raf1ia work basket with hinged
cover and with little Indian figures
interviewer exactly fitted a big choco-
late cake. A large. homemade wood
basket held the tablecloth and doilies
and other accessories. When the bas-
kets were all emptied and the lunch
con had begun, somebody's big broth
er appeared on the scene. Juggling
huge willow clothes hamper. which
held large freezer of ice cream.
or course, Mary Bride-to-Be protest

were always sudden showers at pic

New York.-No such welcome was
ever before given an American citizen
as that which was accorded Theodore
Roosevelt when he returned to the
land of his birth on June 18. In ac-
cordance with his request. the greet

and indeed his injunction was scarcely
needed, for 1t seemed the entire ma

former president.

TO HANG ON NURSERY WALL
Decoration That tho Little Folks Will
Like Because They Can Make
1t Themselves.

Any suggestion that tends to bright
en- the walls OF the nursery Is always
welcome. and in our sketch may be
seen a novel and pleasing little deco
ration for hanging above the nursery
door that the little folks can quite
well make for themselves.
A. horse shoe is popularity supposed
to bring good luck, and the shoe
shown in our Illustration can be made
in two ways. 1t can be cut out Of
cardboard and bound at the edge with
narrow strips Of colored paper. and
the letters sketched on it in pencil
and the paint box called into requisi-
tion and then colored. or they can be
cut out IN colored paper and pasted on
to the shoe. A. loop Of ribbon with a
bow at the, top is attached to the back,
by which the shoe may be suspended
from a. nail in the wall.

tion may. be carried out. but one that

At Quarantine the necessary for

official reception committee took the
colonel and his party aboard its rev.

started up the harbor and all the gaily
decorated craft. filled with clubs and
private parties, fell in behind and
formed a most spectacular water pa

played at the top of their lungs. The

A Eanoler,s FIIaht Of Faney.

Any pigeon fancier who wants to enter
a bird in a slow race need but communi-
cate with Charlie Otto, says the New
York correspondent Of tho Cincinnati
Times-Star. He has one he thinks is posi-
lively the slowest feathered biped in the
world. Otto has been a pigeonist for a
good many years, AMI during the St.
Louis exposition Of 1905, he took part in
the big pigeon ny. His birds were all
marked by the usual identification bands
on their legs, of course. All got in but
one. and in the five years that have passed
Mr. Otto had completely forgotten about
that bird.
But the other day when I went into
the cote" says Otto II saw an old pigeon
there that looked familiar. He seemed to
be perfectly at home, so by and by I
picked him up. Sure enough, it was Thun-
derlsoldt II. the pigeon that didn't report
after the st. Louis race"
"And was he IN good health?"
"Oh. yes" said Mr.. Otto. Perfectly
good health. A little thin, perhaps train
cd down pretty fine by tho exertion Of the
race. But otherwise AL right. only his
toenails were worked down to the quick
by the long walk"
