valentine party? Yes, but what shall
we do? For the day has been celebrated
already In so many attractive ways that TO
pioue the curiosity Of ones expected guests
for at least a day or two before the COM
ing event-the secret charm in entertaining
which works the magic of successful spon-
taneity and Of spontaneous SUGGESTS now
a difflcult thing.
Yet not so much OF problem, after all,
if hostess will take pains to make her
evenings entertainment not merely "a
party" but "her party" planned by herself
for the particular circle of friends to whom
she Is proffering enjoyment, for IT is this
touch of originality and this subtle compli-
meut to the personality Of each guest which
make a gathering in her home a thing TO
he looked forward to with eager curiosity
ann long remembered. So let each hostess
do at least some planning herself, and then,
II need be. CLEAN, as here, an aftermath
from the harvest fields of another.
In the matter of invitations. why not
trace the accompanying map Of the United
States? Over it. outlined in red or black
ink draw as many small hearts as there
may be expected guests, and let rhyme
precede or follow whatever personal form
the invitation may take.
In so far as possible let 8 rosy pink pre-
vail I'm room and other decorations. A
pretty idea for the serving table, IL oblong,
is TO have it represent an oldtime valen-
tine, border of openwork lace paper, such
as comes for the edges of closet shelves, be-
ing laid over white or pink undercover,
while a box in the centre from six to eight
inches in height, also covered with the fancy
paper, will give the raised" effect so dear
TO our childish eyes.
in the centre place crimson heart while
floating blue ribbons and stiff bouquet Of
flowers or a cupid or pair OF cooling doves
will further carry out the effect desired.
Among the heart shaped ices and cakes
do not fail to have a plate Of kisses-the
sweet meringue puff balls of the caterer
into which written fortunes and gilt rings
or jokes of a kindly, impersonal nature
may be placed by carefully separating the
halves and tying together again with bright
ribbons

THE FERocIoUs MIcRoBE.

Life is growing too complicated for the
average unlearned human being. says '"The
Dietetic and Hygienic Gazette"
II has been discovered by various medical
men that birds are dangerous carriers OF
disease-that "even the fluttering of a
canary in its cage may throw out infec-
ton" and that as for the companionable,
impudent parrot he often suffers from
something called psittacose, which may be
transmitted to the unsuspecting owner.
The unfriendly germ, the vindictive ami
malcule, the clustering bacillus browse on
our carpets, hide in our books, hold swim
ming races in the water we drink: they seat
themselves by our side in the trains. invade
the very clothes We wear and penetrate 10
the innermost portions OF our anatomy by
means OF the atmosphere which We shall
very soon be cautioned not TO breathe.

CHEAPER THAN OLD WAY.

The old-fashioned pitcher Of ice water in
the hotel room is no more, and in It's place
has come a handsome silver plated vacuum
bottle. This is in one Of the large Chicago
hotels, but the sensible innovation will
probably be adopted elsewhere very soon.
The old pitcher placed on the table by
the window to keep cool gathered dust
from the outer world and germs from the
inner. In the morning the water was a
