For Labor Day

W h-abOI Hays
Very soon now the long vacation
will be over, las Labor day ends our
fun as the small daughter said when
her mother cruelty reminded her of
the approach of school days. And If
1t had not been for the selfsame small
daughter you would not have had
these suggestions for what am sure
will be a novel shower" AS usual, 1t
was Polly" who thought and planned
it all and l am merely telling you
what she told me will take place in
the home a week from tomorrow
where the small daughter lives.
To make the day after Labor day
fond Of knowledge, but not fond of
school, the members of her family and
few intimate friends who know and
love the wee maid have planned a
school shower" Here are some OF
the gifts to be presented in all sorts of
unusual ways. A very pretty little
alarm clock is to be slipped into her
room after she goes to sleep on La
Dor day night. set at $50. This is
shower number one and is to be ac-
companied by funny note, saying how
the clock wishes to be a helper and
must be wound up every night in or
der to start her right each morning.
Then at the breakfast table she will
find a new utility box containing all
sorts of necessaries In way of rubber
bands, erasers and delightful surprise
pencils which come in all sorts of fas-
cinatlng shapes-anything in shape of
spade, wee gun or a pistol may
turn out to be a pencil. On the back
of her chair will be new book straps,
also bag for her books marked with
her initials. A new bag for Jacks"
and cunning little watering pot,
which will turn out to be an ink bot
tie, will be found among the par
cells. Now that sewing is taught,
Polly said she had found just the
right kind of bag with a basket bot
tom which contained all the necessary
sewing accessories done in the sweet
Indian grass and that was to be her
contribution.
Now l certainly have told you
enough SO that each mother may en-
large or curtail the ideas according
to her needs, but all of you who have
small daughters or sons may plan
some sort of shower to make more
festive day of school.

come to him secretly with her trouble,
brought strange happiness. Moreover
his former acquaintance with Mrs. Du-
pont gave him clue to the mystery.
Yet how was he going to unravel the
threads, discover the motive, find out
the various conspirators? What were

possibly revenge. What did the wous
