Mr.. Campbell ceased talking and
the deep earDestness that had settled
on his face passed, leaving instead
the blank. inscrutable mask of be.

OF the United States shifted inquir-
ingly to the thoughtful countenance
of the secretary of state at his right,
thence along the table around which
the official family was gathered. 1t

young man with certain admiration,

A knlckerhocker Party

A mother who was about to put her
small son into his first trousers con.
ceived the clever idea of holding a
party in his honor on the eventful day.

Saturday, September TO-"

of the children and is called "menag
erie" picture of an animal ia
pinned on the coat or dress of each
as they pass in line. The leader
should be ten-year-old boy, who will
be able to manage better than a
younger child He says he wishes to
catch menagerle to go with circus,
and then the children scatter over the
house and grounds, making the noise
of the animal they are supposed to
represent. All the animals must be
caught, and II they are especially
wary the hunter may employ those al.
ready caught to help get the others.
When all are Gagged (placed in
corner designated) he forms them
in line. two by two, and they march
around to the owner of the circus,
who removes the animals
This is a lively game, keenly en-
ioyed by all children. For favors have
little clowns and serve pink lemonade,
ice cream in shane of animals and
animal cookies; OF course have the
swapping motto caps which all chill
dren love.

Repousse Lace.

What the dressmakers term pushed
dot lace is the new kind to use on
thin frocks 1t is really repousse
lace worn on the wrong side. The
indented part of the dot is turned
toward the eye. It Is quite an attrac-
tive lace, as the patterns are in long
sprays OF leaves and small roses
This dotted lace is quite fashionable
and promises to rank with the best
imitation Venetian and Milanese
Milan lace is also coming into first
fashion. 1t has coarse mesh and
a wide, bold design worked out on 1t.
Filet mesh is also attractive and It is
widely used for handsome gowns and
coats when 1t is half covered with
thick padded Chinese embroidery.

shades. Inside this circle was a huge
wedding cake, on top of which were
a miniature bride and bridegroom.
All went merry as the proverbial
marriage bell, tongues flew and the
bride-to-be told of her new home.
When the ices were served the hon.
ored guest was asked to cut the cake
and behold, her knife went right

she found a shower of dainty and use,
