The princey hospitality of the Viii

Paris, where people seldom wonder AZ
anything
Since she married the steel king.
Mr.. Corey. the former prima donna.
Miss Mabelle Gilman, has developed
into Il great social leader in Paris
where her entertainments are attend
ed by royalty. Recently she gave n
grand fete at her Chateau de Vile
gensis. formerly the home Of jerome
Bonaparte. king Of Westphalia. In or
der to make her guests comfortable
she had the lawns artificially cooled
by ice. Among those present were the
Grand Duke Boris of Russia. on his
way to the coronation; the crown prince
of Greece and Grand Duke George of
Leuchtenberg. The Grand Duke Boris
so far unbent his dignity as to give
some specimens of Russian fancy
dancing. Mrs Corey also danced.
Since they have lived in Paris the
Coreys have given series of these
magnificent ana costly entertainments.
which surpass anything ever seen in
that city.

Points
for
Mothers
The Shy Girl.


Only those who have themselves
passed through the same experience
can appreciate the trials Of the really
shy girl. Some girls are shy when
first entering a room or on being ia
troduced to stranger. but recover
their self possession within Il short
time, but that is not the kind Of shy
ness to which reference here is made
The really shy girl is a victim of
nerves. She may be an exceedingly
capable young lady, but she shrinks
within herself at the bare idea Of pub
LEFTY, even the limited publicity of Il
drawing room. Such girl needs SYN
pathetic treatment. but unfortunately
she does not always receive it. Some
people laugh ut her and make hnI
worse. whereas others bestoW upon
her kindly. encoura ging smile. and
thus assist her wonderfully in passing
through Il tryin" ordeal. 1t too FIR.
quently happens that such Sirl is
pushed forward-thrust into the fuil
glare of the light. so to Say-fOr the
purpose of making her accustomed to a
crowd of strangers. The idea is that
she will have the baShfuness knocked
out of her very quickly and be trans
formed into cool. collected young
woman. That IS great mistake. 4
truly shy girl suffers agonies under
such an infection. and she is more de-
termined than ever to keep in retire

A Trick Game.

Jennie loved to spring new games on
her friends when they came to see
her. so she eagerly awaited little
crowd the other day. all members Of
her class. who invited themselves up
after school. This time the new game
was called it," and ut" was mys
terry to all the guests but three. These
three were allowed to remain in the
room with Jennie. while the others
were sent into the next room.
In the game Of it each one is call
ed in in turn and is allowed to ask
questions. and as soon as one catches
on to "it" she becomes one of the inner
circle. and the next one is called in.
ut" is really the person who sits on
your left. but before lit" is discovered
much fun is experienced.
All in the playroom must sit in cir
Gle and must not change their posi-
tons during the progress Of the game.
When the player is called in he Is told
to ask q question of whomSoever he
may please. and the person must an
swer correctly.
For example. els it white?"
AS everybody present is white. the
answer is necessarily YES
The questioner then asks any ques.
ton. such as as it thin?" If the one
on the left Of the questioner is thin the
answer is in the affirmative The ques.
toner then asks another. do you also
think it Is thin?" And If the one seat
ed on her left is stout she answers
"No." And thus the questioner is mys.
titled and must continue until he
guesses "It."
ut" should be announced as a trick
game.

Country Entertaining.

While in the country the children
will need some entertainment. as even
the novelty Of gathering wild flowers
and running wild will wear off after
awhile. one excellent way of enter
tanning them. or. rather. of teaching
them to entertain themselves. is to
have them make bathing place for
birds. This may be done by placing
a shallow trough partially III the
ground and keeping 1t filed with fresh
water 1t is astonishing how soon the
feathered people will find this luxury
and how merrily they will enjoy it.
One seems to tell another. and soon
the birds pool will afford entertain
ment for many hours each day to the
children who watch the happy bath
eTs. They will thus become acQuaint'
ed with the air folk and will be more
eager to learn of their lives and their
hauntS.

THE STATE FAIR

The Sixth Annual State Fair OF
| Louisiana will close tonight. The six
days of an attractive programme be-
ginning October 81 We're attended
with fairly good weather. There
were cloudy and threatening skies,
but no rain. The attendance, based
on the crowds on the grounds Friday
and yesterday, may be viewed as be-
ing appreciative of the efforts of the
association. The Fair of this year
lis in many respects great improve
Iment over the years past, but some
betterment may be suggested in
some of the departments and some
of the details of the Fair
The most striking improvement is
the concrete walks. How they have
been appreciated no tongue can tell.
in the course of the year the several
buildings under construction and the
grandstand will be completed. The
grandstand is to be of itself an ex-
hibit in construction of the possibil-
tiles of concrete and steel.
It is gratifying to say that the Wis
itors We're we'll pleased as a whole
with the exhibits in the various de-
partments. Especially We're the
farmers and stock raisers favorably
impressed with the exhibits of cat
tie, swine and horses.
The Fair has left lasting inn
preston for good on all who came
to see the sights.
IF there were some disappoint-
ment it was at the shortcomings of
the the aeroplane, for which the
weather may be held to account.
It is hoped that the finaneil sue-I
cess of the Fair will be fully real
lied by the directory of the associa-
ton.
