was to climb up to the top OF a bamboo
polo. balanced on the shoulder of his
father. When the boy reached the top
of the pole he very carefully stood on his
head. He had to do this feat carefully,
not for fear that he would fall and break
his neck, but because IL the pole fell and
dashed him into the audience. he might

and for the stolid Bretons, who hated to
pay to see the show, and thought that
they ought to have rebate for applaud

made Paris laugh, and went to the
Grand PriX and learned to play baccarat
and trente-et-quarante. By this time he
could speak seven languages in private
but refused always to speak a word on
the stage. He whistles, but whistles are
the same in every language, like kisses.
His Home I'm Putnsy.
Ten years ago, when he was twenty

town, where every one manufactures
something. and there is lots OF money
to spend on pleasure. He made a hit
with the public, and he fell in love with
a rosy-cheeked English girl and mar
ried her. Later he went to London, and
shortly afterward bought a home at Put

Now to Arrange an Al Frsseo Rspast
For Independence Day.
Independence day is a frolic for
young and old, and even at home the
meals are usually served in picnic
form. It adds more to the nature of
the holiday to have an informal enter.
tainment, and it certainly is much
easier where there is party of guests.
One enjoyable picnic luncheon was
served in the dining room Of a country
house because the rain Of the previous
day had made the lawn unfit for use.
The fourteen guests sat around the
room as they chose. and the bare table
was partially covered by centerpiece
and doilies OF eyelet embroidery.
Paatters Of cold sliced ham and tongue
dressed with parsley. a brick Of potted
chicken and several varieties Of pre-
serves and generous supply Of potato
chips represented the solids, with
homemade lettuce sandwiches and
plenty Of good bread and butter.
Hard boiled eggs cut in half, with
me whites used as cups, contained the
powdered yolks, mixed with salt, pa.
pr1ka and little mustard These were
laid in a nest Of lettuce leaves and
were served with French dressing.
Cantaloupes and homemade sponge.
cake and delicious coffee. salted nuts
and mint paste completed a homely
but enjoyable repast, which was serv.
ed up on wooden picnic platters, with
which, together with q paper napkin,
each guest was provided. A large
bowl Of Wild flowers graced the center
Of the table, and the meal had the ad.

HOW TO REPRODUCE OLD

, Many women may desire to r.
; produce IN article In plaster.
, This b not q dimcult matter II
these directions are followed:
, The materials required are: Plas-
ter OF paris, clay, water, q mix
ing spoon and q bread board two
feet square. When you lrst At
} tempt It try something simple
; half Of an apple, for instance.
) An extra precaution would be to
mix q little bluing with the
} plaster, to distinguish It from
the model. Soap the half apple
well on the outside. Place Il flat
side down upon the modelling
board and build a mound Of soft
ened clay around It.
When this has hardened mix
the powdered plaster with water
until It is the consistency Of pam
cake batter. Pour this into the
mold Of clay. When it has hard
ened separate the mold from the
cast. To cast the whole Of an
} object mold one-half at a time.
and soap both sides Of the inside
Of the mold thoroughly. Make
a hole In the top Of the mold,
which IL formed by the union Of
the two halves. Through this
opening pour the liquid plaster.
When the cast has hardened It
may be shellacked or ivorized.
This is extremely interesting.
Try 1t some time and see.
