a Jolly Outdoor Party.


This was decided success, for the
children were so enthusiastic. The af-
fair took place in the country, but |
do not think a city back yard or a
park would fall short of the require
ments. OF course, all depends upon
the weather, for this party requires
snow and frozen pond, II possible.
The hours were from five to eight,
and 1t was quite dark when the gay
youngsters assembled. The mothers
had been instructed TO dress the little
guests, who were from ten to fourteen,
very warmly with sweaters and nit
tens. Japanese lanterns were strung
all over the lawn and twinkled bright
ly In the darkness; then there were
huge bonflres built along the edge OF
the pond with caretakers to watch for
sparks. There were skating races,
running races, tobogganing and a merry
game OF Hare and Hounds, with red
confetti. for scent" The last stunt
was storming a snow fort, the children
being divided into two sides, white
men and Indians" After this excite
ment they were called In to supper
consisting Of piping hot oyster soup,
hot buttered crackers, olives, turkey
sandwiches. then ice cream in shape
of snow balls with a little flag in the
top OF each ball; the cakes were balls,

In sweet chocolate grated. A big
sleigh took all the children home, each
with a tin horn which was tied with
scarlet ribbon. The horns were pre-
scented when good-bys were said.

A January Luncheon.

This pretty luncheon was hastily ar
ranged in honor of friend who was
going away, and by accident the
hostess learned the day set for her
entertainment was also her friends
birthday. AS the guests were all very
intimate friends and only too glad OF
the opportunity to show some atten-
ton to the departing guest, they all
contributed small sum with which
the hostess purchased charming gar
net bar-pin 1t was tied to bouquet
of red roses On the card was writ
ten this couplet, allotted to the month
of January:
BY her, who in this month is born,
No gems save garnets should be worm
They will insure her constancy,
True friendship and fidelity.
The flower for the month Is the
pearly snow drop, and there was a
huge bunch Of them in a red Bohemian
glass bowl for the table centerpiece.
Red candles were used with shades OF
the same color, and a lovely fire blazed
in the CRATE. Altogether 1t was a most
hospitable affair. With the dessert OF
frozen pudding came birthday cake
with the name of the guest picked out
in small red candies. The cake was
on a candle board surrounded by cir
Gle of blazing red candles. Each guest
made wish and blew one out before
! the cake was cut. After this the
maid brought in the bouquet on a sill
yer tray and the pin tied in wee
white box with garnet ribbon was dis
covered.

Lengthening of Bones and Mend

Most Interesting Of Advanced meth'
DDS Applies to Stimulating OF os'
seous Growth Artifically by
Injecting Formalln.

New York.-Limbs may be length
ened by stimulating the growth OF the
bones and cut arteries repaired with
metal rings something in the manner
adopted in Joining water mains, ac-
cording to methods of the new surgery
described in the current medicai
journals.
One of the most interesting OF the
advanced methods applies TO the
stimulation of osseous growth artl-
ficially by injecting formalin. This Is
a solution of the gas formaldehyde
used as disinfectant and preserva'
tive. and the liquid has been en-
ployed not only in its pure state, but
in the two per cent solution.
The experiments which have been
conducted so far by Dr. X. o. Melsen-
bach are described by him in the
Journal of orthopedic Surgery, and
there is an editorial upon them In the
Medical Record of this city. Doctor
Meisenbach conducted his expert
ments on the legs of rabbits, selecting
usually the right tibias and using the
left as a control or means OF COM
pairing results.
He also availed himself OF mechan-
ical means, but the most satisfactory
results were obtained with the
formalin injections. 1t is said the in
PRODUCTION of the solution, which also
has high antiseptic qualities, stimu-
lates the secretion of lime from the
fibrous tissue which covers the
cartilage and thus builds up the bone
If this method should be applied to
human beings, it might be of great
value. and the medical authorities
think such an application of the dis
covery is far from remote.
1t is held that the formalin stimu
lation may serve as a stepping stone
to a new method of treatment in bone
cases which have hitherto bafiled the
skill of surgeons Zones which have
stubborn compound fractures might
thus be made to reunite, and limbs
which are abnormally shortened
through the arrest of the growth o.
bone, as is so frequently the case II
children after attacks OF infantil'
paralysis, could be heightened.
The discovery might extend even t
the treatment of tuberculosis Of thC
bones and to various diseases which
affect the framework of the body
There are numerous cases where per

are crippled permanently even will
