In a Diary
 By DOROTHY BLACKMoRE
Copyright, 1911, by Associate

A March wind was busy in Wash lngton square. It snatched bits of paper and made kites of them; it tangled the garments of pedestrians; It made whirlpools of dust on the street corners.
 Suddenly, a window was raised in an apartment overlooking the park and a housemaid shook gayly at her duster. A gust of wind startled her and she knocked a small book from the sill. The leaves were Tapping in the wind and the book lying. covers down, on the pavement below before she recovered her Irish wits and slammed the window.
 At that moment a man and a dog chanced along the street The man saw the book.
 Good dog" he said, pointing to the volume.
 The terrier promptly seized the leather in his teeth and, preceding his master along the street, stopped at the entrance to an apartment house. It was the animals custom to carry mail and parcels and this task was only slightly different. He wagged his abbreviated tail to and fro as he waited for the man to un- latch the door.
 Before the chair of his master he dropped the book and was duly petted.
 "A diary. Turk" remarked the man as he picked up the book. Some body's lost a diary" He blew the dust from the pages.
 He looked for a name, but there was none; therefore he promptly as- signed ownership to a woman. And, since there was no legitimate clue he began to read the contents in search of one.
 The remarks set down were neither profound nor especially noteworthy,

A petestation Party.

The hostess said in her message, which was given over the telephone: Please come, wearing an article which will express your greatest dis like" As men were included in the invitations we were prepared for some thing very unusual and were not dis appointed. There were twenty guests and here are a few examples of what happened: A sedate matron came com pletely covered with realistic little wiggly snakes, most of them pur- chased at a Japanese store; others were of the vivid green variety so much in favor for St. Patrick's day; a beau of the town appeared with his head adorned by a curious collection of false hair. braids, puffs, rats, vary ing from golden to jet black, which plainly showed his dislike for false hair. A young girl wore necklace made from tiny imitation, but realistic cigars, with cigars of larger size in her hair; a young matron had a num- Der of toy and candy mice adorning her white frock; one girl wore an enor- nous quantity of paste jewelry, strings of beads, etc, and another had her dress ornamented with ads of whisky and champagne. It was really very clever affair and created much merri. ment.

failed to appeal to him as the thing he wanted to do. Once or twice, he had found opportunity to get glimpses of the girl, and with each succeeding view of her face he was less pleased with the idea of not making himself known to her.
 At last, inspired by the last drop of coffee. he did a bold thing; be took the book from his pocket and began to read Then, he extracted a pencil from another pocket and made notation on a blank page under the date of the evening.
 Tonight I found the author of this diary. She is prettier than I had dared to hope. But-how can I con- fess that I have read her musings? I sign my name humbly-Tom Archi- bald"
 After that, he called the waiter, paid his check and with the volume in his hand, proceeded toward the door. He had hoped that the girl would see her book-for he was sure 1t was hers-and take the matter of recovering it into her own hands.
 At the door, he turned for one last look at her. Her eyes were full upon him-she had seen the book. He went quickly to her table
 Tt Is yours, believer" he asked.
 ''Yes," said the girl. eagerly, while her companion looked on in astonish- ment. Where did you find it?"
 My dog, Turk, picked it up on the sidewalk in the square," he said, half eluding the truth. There is no name in 1t. I'm sorry"
 I'm Dorothy Morton and-I thank you" she said, simply.
 Archibald released the book I've tried to find you in this restaurant the only clue had to your identity" he explained.
 How clever!" The girl laughed.
 She was turning over the pages of her recovered treasure.
 Archibald turned to the man oppo- site her. You'll pardon my intrusion. but I had overheard your remark" he was saying when Dorothy found what he had written in her book.
 She looked up and caught his eye.
 MT. Archibald" replied the girl, 'Tm greatly pleased indeed to re- cover the little volume, and am sure ly very fortunate. Let me introduce you to my brother"
 The two men exchanged congratu- lations.
 "Yes," said Archibald, my dog Turk picked up the diary on the street, and now through an overheard conversation have at last succeeded in finding the owner. I consider it somewhat remarkable, and may hope fortunate for me. Miss Nor ton?"
 The three left the restaurant to- gether.
 Two months later an entry in the now much coveted diary read: Tom has asked me to marry him. and-Tve accepted"

An April First Party.

A young girl having birthday on the first of April devised and carried out this pretty party in most sue cessfuI manner. The invitations 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 the real fruit shapes and colors, only they 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, a 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 'it was the best party ever" and so the mother who planned the affair was amply repaid for her trouble. I give a list of names of real clowns and testers who once existed: Archie Armstrong, the famous jester of King James l.; Chicot, the jester whom Dumas has immortalized in his novels; Triboulet and Brusquet, jester of King Francis l. of France;f John Haywood, the jester of Henry VIII; Scrogan, the jester of King Ed ward "; 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,' NSancho Panza.' simple simon" etc

Archibald thought, but there was something in the manner of their writing that appealed to him. The viewpoint was fresh and the every day characters were vividly present ed. She-for he had decided that the author was a woman-had many odd turns of language that made the sim pie jottings surprisingly interesting.
 As he read he began to wish he knew the author. He would like to return the diary. And yet he had no tangible scent to follow. The mere fact that she dined-or had dined in the course of the year in which the diary had been kept-in a small Bo- hemian restaurant in Washington square, was small evidence of her Identity.
 Nevertheless, Tom Archibald made 1t a point to dine frequently in that place. He felt reasonably sure that if he could overhear the girls con- Versation he would recognize her. Ac- cordingly, to his shame, be 1t added, he often listened intently to the re- marks of persons sitting near him Also, he ate larger dinners than was his custom so as to prolong his stay in the restaurant
 After three weeks of intermittent searching, he was dining again in the small restaurant, his hope of finding the author by this means was at low ebb Suddenly, from a table behind him, a man asked of his companion:
 "Did you ever find your diary?"
 Archibald upset his coffee, which he was in the act of stirring, and dropped an ash down his waistcoat. Then as nonchalantly as possible, he turned to look at the girl whom the man had addressed.
 Don't ask painful questions" re- piled the girl. q don't want to cry here"
 "Strange-how 1t could have dis appeared so quickly" the man added.
 Some curious passerby, the girl said. 'I hope he is edified."
 A deep color mounted slowly to Archibald's brow. What was this ap- palling thing he had done?-read the diary of another? He was at a loss for a way to set himself right He pressed the pocket of his coat to make certain that the little book re- posed therein.
 He ordered another cup of coffee and further cigars. Perhaps he could follow the girl, unobserved, and find out where she lived. Then, he might be able in some way to return the diary without making known his own identity.
 As he smoked and drank his coffee the idea became less brilliant-it

 For underwear, we seem to turn all our patronage to woven silk knickers, which are to some extent necessary for the best exploitation of the narrow walking skirt, while in the evening we may grant ourselves the privilege of the .tight-fghting ninon petticoat, and in pale blue, for example, trimmed with the finest Irish lace insertion lined with pink satin ribbon, the ninon evening petticoat is a delicious cir constance in the world of undress.
 Black ninon petticoats may be com mended, made with one deep sparse flounce, bordered with silver lace in- sertion threaded with pale blue rib bon tied into bow with long ends above the left knee, with couple of tiny pink roses thrust through the knot.

 Chocolate brown serge is chosen for our model; it is trimmed with black velvet. The skirt is rather tight, and has a band of velvet below knees; buttons are sewn above this, and two rows of stitching are taken down the left side as far as band. The over bodice is of serge, cut hmono; the round top Is edged with velvet strap. A similar strap also edges the over-sleeves, while the under ones arc entirely of velvet, so Is the waist band; buttons are sewn part way down front at side of stitching. White ninon is used for the yoke.-Mma Aria, in London Madame.

Rest Cure Party.

This Lenten party given from "threa to six" for eight girls proved such a success that I am sure there will be many more in the next two weeks after our readers know of 1t. It cer. tainly was an innovation and came about by one of the girls saying "she was so tired out, so weary of formal function, so bored by being a debutante that she wished for something differ ent." The something different came 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 drawing-room with shades nearly drawn, log fire, couches with piles of pillows and afghans When all had arrived the hostess said no one was to talk until moved to do so, then only in the low
 est voice. Quite mystified, the girls found places and a maid noiselessly passed piping hot bouillon and crisp wafers; then from the next room a low sweet voice to a guitar accom-
 paniment sang a series of lullabies; then the same voice read several de lightful stories in 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 it fine party.
