An April First Party,

A young girl having q birthday on
! the first of April devised and carried
out this pretty party in a most sue
cessful manner. Theinvttatfons were
issued on foolscap paper, asking each
girl to come dressed as a fool" the
costumes to be made Of cotton ma
terial and crepe paper. so the expense
would not be great, but just as much
fun Red and green, the testers col
ors, were carried out in every detail
as far as possible. On the red candle
shades funny little donkey heads were
outlined in green. The ices were
served In the dearest little green pa
per cabbage heads and the fruits
proved to be excellent limitations in
he real fruit shapes and colors, only,
hey were candy boxes, and the sup
posed chocolate eclairs were filled
with creamed chicken. A delicious
cream sauce was passed to put over
them. There were all sorts of anus
ing games, such as marbles for the
girls and a doll dressing contest for
the boys, whistling contest for the
girls and a sewing contest for the
boys. all having simple prizes for the
best There were clowns and testers.
The children said ut was the best
party ever" and so the mother who
planned the affair was amply repaid
for her trouble. l give list of names
of real clowns and testers who once
existed: Archie Armstrong, the famous
jester of King James l.; Chtcot, the
jester whom Dumas has fmmortalized
In his novels; Triboulet and Brusquet,
jester of King Francis l. of France;
John Haywood, the jester of Henry
VIII; Scrogan, the Jester of King Ed
ward W; Patrick Bonny, who attend
ed Regent Morton of Scotland. Other
characters In fiction are the Green
Son" of the Vicar of Wakefield. called
Moses; the Mad Halter" from Alice
In Wonderland; the Three Wise
Men of Gotham" Don Quixote,"
"Sancho Panza," simple Simon" etc.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fneness OF the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

Rest Cure Party.

This Lenten party given from three

success that I am sure there will be
many more in the next two weeks

about by one of the girls saying "she
was so tired out, SO weary of formal
function, so bored by being debutante
that she wished for something differ

in the form of wee note which said:
Come to My Rest Cure" party. There
was not an absent guest, assure you.
They found the great drawingroom
with shades nearly drawn, a log fire.
couches with piles of pillows and
afghans. When all had arrived the
hostess said no one was to talk until
est voice. Quite mystified, the girls
found places and a maid noiselessly
passed piping hot bouillon and crisp
waters; then from the next room a
low sweet voice to a guitar accom-
pantment sang a series of lullabies;
then the same voice read several de-
lightful stories in a low, distinct tone,
the person was concealed by a screen,
then there was simply nothing doing
for fifteen minutes, each girl being
told to close her, eyes and tell at the
end of that time her vision This took
another half hour, when a tray of
fragrant tea and delicious sandwiches
were served with candied ginger. After
that, having sufficiently rested,
tongues buzzed at a merry rate and
the girls pronounced 1t a fine party.

Perhaps Not.

An Instructor in a church school
where much attention was paid to
sacred history, dwelt particularly on
the phrase And Enoch was not, tor
God took him. So many times was
this repeated in connection with the
death of Enoch that he thought even
the dullest pupil would answer cor
rectly when asked in examination:
State in the exact language of the
Bible what is said of Enoch's death.
But this was the answer he got:
"Enoeh was not what God took him
for."-Brooklyn Life.
