A Steamer Experience Party.

A Steamer Experience Party.
The description of this novel party
will be in time to assist many of you
who want to give welcomes home
to many of your friends who have
Jared abroad this summer. Ocean
travel and trips on the great lakes
clear through to Buffalo have. been
very popular, as there have been
some palatial steamers put on this
year which have given voyagers a
sense of security on our treacherous
inland seas.
With all this in mind the hostess
asked eight friends, every one of
whom had taken a steamer" vaca-
ton. Two of them having made the
old-fashioned "befo' de war" trip from
ST. Louis to New Orleans on 1.-The
river" The guests were asked to
give only fifteen-minute descriptions
Of what was to them the most inter
esting or exciting part of their trip,
and thus you see two hours of the
afternoon from three to six was
beautifully filed While one person
talked" the others had their needle
work.
The affair was held on the porch
and there were as many steamer
chairs as the hostess could borrow.
After all had arrived, the twelve-year-
old boy Of the household dressed as
ships steward, served hot beef tea
and pilot biscuit and during the
afternoon the time was sounded by
bells. Books of travel, guide books
and literature so abundantly furnish
ed by steamship lines was scattered
about, and there were many souvenir
postals with a desk equipped for
writing should anyone wish to send
last message back by the pilot, who
came in dressed as sailor Ca dear
little chap in MILDLY suit with First
Pilot on his capband).
After each one had had her turn
with no Interruptions of nal de mer,
delicious refreshments were served,
and everyone agreed that it had been
q most delightful afternoon, as it had
given good friends the opportunity
of meeting and hearing each others
experiences just when they were
fresh in the mind, and all were SO
enthusiastic. Lists of books to read
were exchanged and plans begun for
next" years vacation and the next
steamer experience" party, which
vas voted should be an annual affair.

NEW DAm-slTE CONSIDERED.

Maysville, Ky.-It is now thought
the dam that it was planned to build
two miles above this city in the Ohio
river will have to be abandoned, as it
is too far removed from the dam at
Richmond to give a boating stage at
Charleston bar, four miles below here,
and the engineers are at work on new
profles OF a site between here and
Ripley, below the bar, in order to give
the desired water at Lawrence creek.
Work was to have begun on the dam
above here this summer, but it has
beea postponed indefinitely.

A Bonnet Party.

Now do not say that bonnet pErrie
are old, until you hear about this one
which was given for twenty children
When all had arrived the hostess
passed three sheets Of colore6 tissue
paper, some squares of crepe paper Of
gay color, and two fancy paper nap
kins to each child. On a center TIA
BILE she puts pins, scissors, tubes Of
paste and little towels and a bowl of
water for wiping the paste off of fin
ger-tips. She said a half-hour would
be allowed for making any kind of a
hat, cap or bonnet, the maker to don
the headgear and when time was cali
ed they were to form in lire and pass
before the judges, who would award
the prizes.
Such busy time as those children
had; they were really most clever,
too, in building their hats. The old
est guest was eleven and the young
est eight and some of the work was
excellent. The prizes were doll band
boxes containing lovely hats for dolly
and the ice cream was served IN the
dearest straw hats (dcll size) lined
with waxed paper. The children en-
joyed the novelty and each one went
home with her creation on her head.
1t is needless to say that there were
no boys at this party. The young
hostess declared that boys from nine
to twelve were mo fun" do not
know what our boy friends will say
to this; perhaps some of them will
mend their ways a bit, so as not to
be left out of parties.
