wound up its season in blaze Of glory,
the Post-office team winning the pennant

Il Passe-partout .Cea.

A RECENT hostess sent out invita-
tions for an afternoon tea that
rather mystified the recipients of them,
for they were written on passe-partout.
When the guests arrived on the after
noon indicated they found the parlor
table set forth with a quantity Of pref
" prints selected from art magazines,
art photographs. etc. with shears. Ii
brary paste, mounts. glass and passe-
partout tape In different colors.
All drew around the table, and guests
were asked to choose the pictures they
liked and TO passe- partout them ac-
cording to fancy. An hour passed de-
lightfully In this agreeable work, after
which the pictures prepared by each
guest were exhibited and all voted for
the picture they thought the best turn
ed out.
A prize which took the form OF a
popular study of one of the old masters.
was the reward. but added to this each
guest was invited to retain such OF her
exhibits as she liked.
At the serving Of tea, which followed
the passe- -partouting. the idea OF the
occasion was introduced in several
clever ways. For instance, the place
cards made from tiny glasses of un-
used photograph negatives (of very
small sized camera). were washed and
used to passe-partout dainty pictures
clipped from magazines. Each picture
had the name OF the guests and jim
gle relating to her written upon 1t.
The picture chosen was. Of course. ap-
propriate to the girl and the rhymed
couplet.

dry goods merchants, who declare
there is only half or a third enough

welcome to the trade will be the fuller

It is often difficult to know how to

in an apartment room that opens on
a shaft.
The occupant Of such a room tried
bandishing curtains altogether but
this gave the room an unfurnished ap-
pearance, while not really affecting the
light II is the impression of sunshine

ed a soft yellow shade, merging into a
creamy tint for the ceiling. Pretty.
short soft yellow curtains framed the
windows. but were not drawn over

with a fern in it transformed a dark
corner. Brass candlesticks and orna-
ments also helped to give the room a
CHEEKY appearance. and soon the dull
