Have chicken in some form (sand.
wiches are always acceptable) and
fees or cream in shape of birds would
be appropriate. 1t will be easy to
manage bird cookies and perhaps
the confectioneer will make nests of

Move the Carpet.

Every now and then, instead of al
lowing the stair carpet to remain In
exactly the same position as first
placed, the tread of the carpet should
be moved couple of inches or SO
either up or down. This has the
effect of keeping the pile of the carpet
in a uniform condition, and, besides
retaining the fresh appearance of the
carpet, 1t helps it to last, much longer
than it would if left exactly as laid
1t costs nothing to do this, yet saves
much.

the lace is put on in the shape of a.
frill and caught here and there with
a tiny pink rosebud. When the para

pretty fancy to have the edge out

splendid cleanser. Be careful, how
ever, not to have the fluids near the
fire. as they are highly infiammable.

A Field Day Party.

This Is just the season for a Field
Day" party with all sorts of athletic
sports. The guests may be any mum
Der, but twenty-four 1 find is just
about right for the competition. This
affair Is fine for children, young peo-
Pile and those who are older grown.
Egg and spoon races are great fun,
as well as the needle and thread"
contest. Then there should be run
ming races, forty yard dashes, inter-
spersed with three legged and sack
races.
Rope climbing is most laughable as
well as the merry obstacle" race.
A time-keeper. referee and g.
Judge" add to the interest and the
prizes may be as many and elabor-
ate as the hostess wishes. In some
of the races blue and red ribbons
may be awarded.
Perhaps tennis, croquet, archery
and baseball matches may be ar
ranged.
Refreshments or supper should be
served on the lawn or porch. Such
a party as this was recently given at
a country place called "Glimmerglen."
1t would be jolly thing to have
the guests conveyed to and from the
place in a hay wagon drawn by four
horses. Provide horns and have bells
on the harness.
It is needless to say that outing
suits should be worn. From four to
ten are good hours, but the time
should be set to suit the convenience
Of the largest number.

DON'T Break a Car Seal.

Under q new law enacted by Congress,
approved by the president February 18th,
1918, to break the seal Of Q railway car
containing Interstate shipments of freight, i,
express or bssssse or to steal or attempt
to steal such shipments from 8 car, depot,
debot platform, steamboat or wharf, is g
very serious offense, punishable by fine
Of not more than IS 900, or by imp.ison-
ment in the penitentisry not longer than
ten wears. or by both such fine and inn
prisonment. Persons who knowingly
purchase stolen interstate shipments, or
who transport such shipments from one
state to another, shall be doomed equally
euilty with the thief. and punished in the
same manner. Cases Of this character
will be prosecuted in the Federal courts
II is expected that the new law will ma.
terially aid the authorities in effectually
breaking up the Organized eanes of freight

of the country.

CODA. Seen by Youth and Age.

God-As Seen by Youth and Age.
Old Age is more religious than
Youth. do not speak Of the emotion
al crises that come upon young mer
and young women In early youth;
those crises seem too closely related
to physical growth and development
TO be religious in the same sense In
which old age is religious. writes H
D.. Sedgwick in the Atlantic. That the
emotional crises of youth may bear
as truthful witness to the realities OF
the universe as the temperate religion
Of old age l do not deny. The God
that youth sees by the light of ita
emotional fires may be thereal God
but that image of God Is transitory
1t appears in fire and too often disap
pears in smoke. The image of God
that appears to old age is more
abiding image; 1t reveals itself to ex
perience and to reason instead of to
the sudden and brief conviction OF
vision. Old age finds God more in Its
own image, calm, infinitely patient
not revealed merely by the vibrant
intensity of passion. but in the famil
lar and commonplace. To old age the
common things Of life declare the
glory of God.
