can do much to enhance the beauty of such a calendar with ink sor water color, putting in titles or other letter ing and drawing dainty borders around the prints or the whole page. Finally the twelve sheets may be held together by a ribbon or silk cord run through two holes punched at the top of each sheet. kHr
 A calendar makes an excellent Christ mas or New Years gift, and if home scenes are not used the photographs might be typical of the month they are to be used with. The prints should be of different colors and the mounts should harmonize. The prints for Jan uary, March, April, November and De- cember might be black; those for Feb ruary, July, September and October, sepia; and those for May, June and August, green. A good idea would be to have an appropriate flower decora- ton for every month, such as the fol- lowing: January, pine branch with cones; February, winter tree buds; March, daffodils: April. arbutus; May. apple blossoms: June, roses; July, oxeye daisies; August, missiles; September, golden rod; October, grapes; November; milkweed pods; December, holly and miStletOe.
 Instead of mounting the photographs in the usual way an oblong panel might be drawn on the print and then cut out with scissors. This panel could be so placed with reference to the flower that the latter would appear to be bursting through an oblong opening, with petals, stems or leaves projecting beyond. Two wavy but parallel lines drawn around the panel and flower would complete the decoration and the calendar leaf could be attached to the mount in the place reserved for 1t.

 In the table and housekeeping rou- tine. also, Hester gave herself a certain elbow-room; the routine was there, but 1t was sufficiently flexible to admit of surprise on occasion.

TELEPHONE trick that seems a.1rrounded Inv mystery is this:

|H Tell a friend that there is
 mind reader in town who will read any card that she may pick from pack. When she has selected the card give her the telephone number of friend of yours who knows the trick. The name you tell her to ask for de- pends on the card she holds. For in- stance, if she has chosen the three of hearts the last name of your mind reader must begin with "H," the first letter of the suit she has selected. The number of the card determines the, let ter of the alphabet which shall begin the first name. Since it Is the three of hearts any name beginning with the third letter of the alphabe will eerve. In this case either Charles Harris, or Charlotte Harmon would do. If the queen of clubs had been chosen you might have given your friend the name Laura Carson. The two of diamonds suggests Beatrice Davis, etc. It may take your assistant at the other end some time to figure out the card, but that may be done while she is supp posedly summoning the mind reader" You will find your friend much mysti- fled when she is told exactly what card she is holding.

TOR an acting game called .'the
 ship" each child assumes the name of some officer or other fea-
 ture of a vessel. Thus, one be- comes sailor, one pilot, another fog horn, one rudder, one sail, and so forth. A little story into which all the fea- lures of THE SHIP are woven has been prepared in advance. When the game is i'm readiness, some one reads aloud the story. AS each child hears his as- stunned name mentioned he rises and initiates the person or thing named. Thus, "The foghorn blew a nournful blast, the sail Tapped and veereda in the wind, the sailor climber mast and saluted his superior officer, the engine puffed, the wheels turned round" Each child taking part thinks out the acting without assistance from an older per- son.

 host and hostess have their right hands fastened behind them in re-

Potato races form part of the ertertainnent.s Potatoes are placed at one end of the room in row. Contestants start from the other end, take up the potatoes in spoons held by the left hand, and re- turn to the other end of the room with in a given time.

COMPANY of boys and girls who ! seem determined to play "Quak-

CT meeting" and nothing else, r. can often be reused from it's
 starched stiffness by the highly intel- .lectual game of CAT. Seat the play CTS in a, circle with one in the centre to be the cat. This animal at once pro- ceeds to make his moan at the publicity of his position, and with as wailful waouls as possible. kneels before some member of the party and tries to make him laugh. The cat can make three pleas. each as long and doleful as possible Meanwhile the seated player must reach out his hand, pat the cat poor pussy, poor pussy!' three times without laughing. If he laughs he must become the cat. This Is not a
 game that can be played long, but to break the ice it Is very successful, since 1t is so utterly ridiculous that even the shyest must smile at least bit.

GENERAL new ideas for DEBUT
 ANTE TEAS have developed in 0 our town. One is to tie the en-
 velopes containing the invitations with narrow ribbon instead of sealing them-in this case they are delivered by messenger, not sent through the mail. Another innovation is to be at home two consecutive days. Monday and Tuesday, or Tuesday and Wednes- day, instead of just one day as hereto fore This allows for bad weather, and also distributes the guests so that the house is less crowded. E. M

for this purpose, but rather to make one of soft, tinted cover papers in tones which will harmonize with the prints. It will be cheaper to do this factory. Do not make all of the prints on one kind of printing paper, but choose a medium for each which in tone and texture will best bring out the good qualities of the negative. The prints should not be pasted down, but made to lie flat and then just hung from the top by pasting along the edge. Each print should be given a title, printed below 1t in neat lettering, and the whole book might bear the legend, "Glimpses of Home," on the cover.
 Thousands of men are now employed as travelling salesmen, tedious, lone some occupation, but one which pays well. How the man who makes long trips and does not often get home to his family would delight to have a col lection of prints as has just been de- scribed constantly with him! Salesmen usually have correspondence to attend to and daily orders to forward, so that the pictures might be put to a more practical use if presented in the form of a calendar. It should not be large, however, for space in a salesman's grip or trunk is usually limited; three and one-quarter by four and one-quar- ter or four by five prints can be used easily, one for each month, which is to be represented by & sheet of cover stock about seven and one-hah by ten. on which the print Is to be mounted. For black prints, such as gaslight, plat mum or mattle surface printing-out paper, the sheets should be a soft, neu- tral gray; for sepia F -ints the delicate rhododendron or deeper brown shades of cover stock are suitable. Any good stationer5 can supply the calendar leaves for each month In variety of sizes and colors, so that the mounts may be matched. Both the calendar leaves and the prints should be hung

The Press editor has the salts

Press which made the first sugges-

some three years ago, SO we are
naturally much interested in the
handsome new structure.
The building is going to be a
much roomier structure than
would be imagined from outside
appearances. All of the offices
are large and we'll lighted, with
commodious vaults for each offices
The rooms in the basement are
really not in the basement at all, ,as
they will be entirely above the
ground, and will make pleasant
