St. Patrlek's Day Suggestion.

Ask each guest 20 come prepared
to tell an Irish joke or story, to sing
an Irish song. dance a jig or tell an
anecdote pertaining TO the Emerald
isle. In this way the hostess is sure
OF having a successful party Irish
character costumes might be worn,
for it is well-krown fact that when
dressed for the part one always does
better.
Here are menu suggestions to be
adopted as the hostess sees best:
Olives and tiny green pickles, chicken
in cubes and green jelly, lettuce sand
witches and Saratoga chips. salad
served in green apples followed out,
green mayonnaise, pistachio ice cream
served with white cake with decora-
tons Of green angelica. Irish punch
and green bonbons, minis, gum drops
and buttercups.
For a dinner crown roast OF pork
could be arranged like one OF lamb
by an obliging butcher, and with each
rib tipped with a green paper frill il
would be goodly sight. Fill in the
center with green peas and there
could be border Of mashed potatoes
sprinkled with parsley. Call il
"Murphy's turkey" Green colorings
are perfectly harmless if purchased at
a reliable druggists or grocers, and
they may be made of spinach juice.
To Find Partners on ST. Patriek's Day.
Make as many shamrocks Of green
paper as there will be guests. Give
each girl one, but hide those FOR the
men and tell them they must find
them and then find the girl who has
the question which their shamrock
answers. Here are the green" con-
undrums:
A choice variety Of plum. Green Gage

BILL ROCKEFELLER
After all, there is nothing to
wonder at in Bill Rockefeller's
contempt for the United States
government at Washington.
Bill is worth hundreds of mil
lions, most of which he stole, and
he knows that the government at
Washington is only a govern
ment on paper, a make-believe
government which exists largely
in histories of the United States
that we read when we are chill
dren in school.
Bill knows that the real gov
eminent is located in Wall street,
that Morgan is king and Bill is
one of the grand dukes.
Bill knows that his old pal,
Johnny Archibald, one of the
grand dukes of Standard Oil,
makes a business of owning u. S.
senators, judges and things like
that, and telling them what the
real government in Wall street
has decided that the paper gov
eminent at Washington must do.
Having bought and paid for so
many senators and congressman,
Bill naturally feels that Congress
has a lot of gall asking him to tes-
tify before a congressional com
mittee when he doesn't want to.
So he packs up his luggage and
sails away on his private yacht.
And Uncle Sam can go suck his
thumb, or twiddle his two thumbs
or 60 jump in the sea.
And inst for that Uncle Sam
