KEEPING THE LINEN in ORDER
Well Ordered Closet 10 4 Joy and With
Little Care May Easily Be Pro-
vided for in Any House.

A well ordered linen closet is Joy
to every housewife who fortunately
possesses one. The really ideal linen
closet, of course, is one that is big
enough to have a window; but the
usual line closet is built into some
Granny of the upper hall, In rather
dark, out-of-the-way corner. This sort
OF closet is. of course, just as useful as
the larger, airier one, and with little
attention can be made to look almost
as well.
Before the weeks laundry work il
put away it should be thoroughly aired
This rule applies to sheets, towels, pill.
low slips and table linen, as we'll as to
clothes. If the day is bright and dry
the freshly-ironed clothes can be
spread on clothes horse on a sun
shiny plaza, or in an open window. II
the day Is damp they should be aired
before a stove, fireplace or radiator.
1t IS good plan also to leave the linen
closet door open for an hour or SO
every few days, when the windows
throughout the house are OPEN

of the hunters called the big wolf, is

Few Yards Of Swansdown.

Swansdown is extremely popular
for decorating evening frocks, cloaks,
scarves, toques, and blouses. A most
becoming little toque of dark amethyst
plush was trimmed with waved
border of swansdown and big white
marabou plume The girl who wore
it had beautiful clear pink and white
complexion, to which the swansdown
seemed to give added beauty, but in
a general way swansdown should not
be put too close to the face in the
daylight, as. like ermine, its white
complexion.

Button Party.

Come and 'buttin" at our button
party on Saturday night at eight;
thus the invitation ran that Polly"
rushed in to show me.
She said they were going to have a
button hunt just like the peanut hunts
are carried out, and the hostess told
her she was making bags of ribbon to
put the buttons in and that each per-
son could keep the bag for souvenir.
The hostess gave her this little con-
test, for me; she is going to ask the
questions and write down herself who
answers the most questions. The
prizes are to be set of hand-painted
shirtwaist buttons, a box of collar but
tons.
BUTTON, BUTTON, WHO'S GOT
THE BUTTON?
How should blind mans buttons
be made? With eyes.
What is it that goes around a-but-
tin? A goat.
What kind of buttons should a He
brew wear? Jew-eled.
OF what should a "masher's" but
tons be made? Rubber.
What kind of buttons would a con.
Wet like to wear? Cut steel.
What kind of buttons are appropri-
ate for a sexton? Bone.
What kind of buttons are the same
as a girls name? Pearl.
OF what should an agents buttons
be made? Brass.
OF what should hunters buttons
be made? Gun metal.
l must add two games with buttons
that children enjoy, and l am rather
certain that they would be good for
grownups, too. The first Is called
Kings Buttons" it is played upon a
long drawn out dining room table COW
cred with blanket First you have
to make the Kings Button Brigade by
taking three brass buttons, three black
ones and three white ones, with eyes
or shanks in the back, twist wire hair
pins into the eyes to make legs. and
stick in corks for feet Stand the
brass men" nearest the end of the
table, then the blackies, then the
whites. Each player has ten chances
to hit the men with a large marble
rolled from the other end of the table.
The white men knocked down counts
five, the black ten and the brass f1f-
teen. Count is kept on cards, and an
assistant stays at the lower end of the
table to set up the men and return the
marble. This is really good fun, try
1t. The next pastime has no name,
but is played this way:
Seat a row of players on each side
of the long table, with each rows lead
er in the middle. A button as large
as {1fty-cent piece is given one lead
er. All the hands on that side of the
table are put under it, while the lead
er passes the buttons to some one on
his side, or keeps it, misleading the
other side as to its place by talk and
actions. The opposite leaders orders
hands up. All hands on the button
side must be laid on the table, palms
down, the button under one of them.
All must help, by actions and words,
to keep the secret Of the buttons hid
ing-place.
The opposite leader tries to discover
it. watching faces and consulting with
his helpers. His object is to order up
