ment had arranged with a neighboring
farmer for the delivery Of certain sup

One day the farmers boy arrived
driving a team of mules. One of the
regimental bands was out rehearsing,
so the boy Jumped from his wagon and
held the mules until the band had
marched past.
"why do you hang on to your broth
ers so tightly? said one Of the ON
cers.e Don't they like music7"
"Oh, 1t isn't that" replied the boy.
I'm afraid they might enlist"-Eun.

A Clover Party.

The hostess who has a clover dot

slip by to entertain with a GLOVER par
IT," The invitation should be done in
water color. or real pressed leaves may
be pasted on. The hostess may receive
her guests on the veranda, which has
been prettily decorated with large
wicker %jardinieres filled with quaint
ties of the long stemmed clover bios
soms. Over the main porch entrance
suspend a large horseshoe made of the
pink and white clovers.
Partners for the clover hunt may be
found by matching numbers IN little
brown twig baskets. On the lawn or
in the adjoining orchard, wherever the
clover patch happens to be. swing
seats and cushions should be in evil
dence. At a given signal from an old
time dinner horn the hunt for four leaf
clovers should start. Naturally the
little baskets are for holding the finds.
During the counting Of the good luck
emblems lemonade may be served. At
6 O'Clock a supper served at small
tables on the veranda or under the
trees could carry out the clover idea.
On each table have quantity shaped
white wicker or pink baskets filled
with the long stemmed clovers and
plenty Of the foliage around them.
The supper might consist Of cold meats
prettily garnislled with the %clovers,
and the salad could be nodded to rep
resent Il large four leaf clover. The
sandwiches could be cut clover shape.
and also the little cakes. while the Ice
cream might be the individual pink
blossoms or the green leaves. The
prizes given for the lucky clover hunter
might be a silver picture frame. with
the clover design engraving. The cou-
pies with the empty baskets might be
rewarded with a corsage bouquet and
b0utonniere Of clovers.
