New Geography Party.

This party was arranged and car
ried out by n fond aunt for her little
niece aged ten. There we're 20 guests
and the invitations read thus:
Miss Dorothy Brown requests the
pleasure of Miss Mary Collins COM
pany at a geography party on Tues
day from four to seven. April 21. at
1925 Spring street. Costumes"
The invitations were sent out good
two weeks in advance to give the
mothers time to talk II over and plan
the costumes. In many instances what
the children had determined the char
acter they represented. For example:
The little boy who had a complete
Indian outfit went as "The first Amer
ican." lad who rejoiced in a good
big. fat plaster pig went as an Irish
man with a clay pipe and high hat
vivid green necktie and a quaint lit
tie black swallow-tail coat worn over
brilliant green knee breeches.. The
young hostess represented miss

blue silk, with a band Of maps around
the bottom put on with library paste;
a wide girdle was the equator. 1t
was OF black velvet and the shoul-
ders had a series of graduated capes
of grayish silk. marked Cape Horn,
Cape Hatteras" Her neck was cir
cled by the isthmus of Panama. On
her head sic wore a cunningly de-
vised cap of papier ,mache made from
a globe. In her hand she carried
wand, from which blue and white rib
bons streamed, bearing the names
North and South Poles"
One of the amusements was jolly
game called Mail Bags" The guests
sat on chairs in a semi-circle and
when the leader called out THE mail
is going from Ireland to Mexico. the
two children representing these places
ran and changed chairs as quickly as
possible When the leader called" Gen
eral Delivery" then every one changed
places, chair being taken out quick
ly by the leader and the one who was
left became the leader when the next
mail vent out" Another game
proved q great success. A large map
of Europe was hung on the wall and
each child was given bit OF paper
marked Dan Il must explain that
Dan was about to go to Europe TOT
the summer; the game was to study
the map first to find the location OF
Paris; then each child in turn was
blindfolded and tried to see how near
they could come to putting Dan In
Paris Each slip of paper was left
Just where placed on the map until
all had tried. Then It was great fun
to see where Dan" found himself.
Only one came any place near Paris.
The last amusement of all was the
S, most fun. The guests were told to
form in line and go into the next
room to buy their tickets for the coun-
try or place they represented. The

say was France" We'll. here is a
ticket for Paris" When the Indian
reached the office. the agent said: "Of
course you want to see Uncle Sam,
so here's ticket for Washington.
The Irishman bought ticket for Cork
and when all 20 passengers were
ready to start they went back to the
living room and found a train of 20
chairs waiting to begin the journey
A conductor and engineer were on
hand with whistle and punch, and as
the tickets were punched each child
got of the train and found his or her
city or place OF destination on large
map of the world hanging on the wall.
There was a pointer so all could see
the place when found. From each
destination there was suspended
ribbon attached to a small parcel
which the traveller took for his own
and returned to the train. When all
had their parcels the journey was
ended. The favors were small band
boxes. trunks and suit cases filled
with bonbons.

The new beaded sashes are lovely.
Marquisette blouses are high In
favor and may be had in all styles
and colorings.
Curls hanging at one side OF the
head have returned to favor. This
style is suitable for the youthful type
of face.
Among the useful fabrics that find
first place in women's favor are the
henriettas and soft cashmeres that
lend them selves to either a simple or
ornate style.
The springtime colored blouse that
matches the materials of which the
tailored suit is made is an important
factor In the outfit of every we'll
dressed woman.

FIRST SHOOTING
IN BUTTON STRIKE
F. l.. Orr, Watchman, Takes WhaCk
at Crowd but Fails to Hit
Anyone.

Muscatine, Iowa, April 4.-The first
shot in the button war was fired yes
terday when E. l.. Orr, a watchman at
the Mckee & Bliven factory. took a
shot at a bunch of men congregated
near the Mckee factory.
The heavy slug from the revolver, a
3S-calibre, went through the open gate
of the Diercks coal yard and buried
itself in the wall of the old Hershey
mule barn at point about six feet
above the ground.
Following the shooting Orr took ref
uge in the button factory and as a
crowd of several hundred persons. at
tracted by the shooting, gathered at
the factory, extra police were rushed
to the scene and Orr was placed under
arrest and brought up to the station.
Orr was a we'll known character in
the recent bootlegging wars, acting
several times as a spy and informer on
illegal vendors of wet goods. He be-
came involved in a quarrel with a num-
Der of men gathered near the factory
and a verbal dispute followed Orr
drew his revolver and fired in the air
At least that is what he said ne did
and also alleges that he fired to intim-
idate the crowd.
