Mother Goose Party.

masquerade ana fancy urebS par
ties are always delightful, but of all
the pleasant gatherings which l have
attended the Mother Goose party
takes the lead. Invitations to the eff
feet that Mother Goose will be pleased
to welcome her goslings at the res
Idence of whoever gives the entertain
ment on such an evening, are sent
out fully two weeks in advance. The
request to come in costume repre-
senting some one Of the characters
found In Mother Goose" can be writ
ten on a small card and inclosed in
the envelope with the invitations
These invitations can be made very
pretty II one can paint, by having lit
tie water color or pen and ink
sketches on them-such as little
Jack Horner" or the Three Blind
Mice" pursued by the Farmers Wife,"
with her Carving Knife"
You maye be sure after these notes
have been sent out that there will be
a ripple of excitement among the
young people, and Mother Goose melo-
dies will be at premium-those with
colored illustrations in particular.
Great ingenuity can be exercised in
getting up the costumes. At last the
eventful night arrives and let us sta
ton ourselves in the hall and watch
the guests as they come in. Most of
the girls came without escorts, for
all were determined to keep their
! Identity a secret from brothers and
sweethearts. Mother Goose" the
hostess, stands in the front parlor and
I is soon welcoming a motley throng.
"Old King Cole" was closely followed
by 1.-THE Fiddlers Three" Little Red
Riding Hood was charming in her
scarlet cape and carried a little bas-
ket filed with candy instead of the
aggs and butter The Queen Of
Hearts" was radiant in a gorgeous
costume. Rain, Rain, Stay Away
was represented by pretty blond,
who carried an immense red umbrella.
Little Boy Blue" dashed into the
room, blowing his horn, carrying an
incense sheep of cotton. Two girls
exactly the same height came as twin
''Bo Peeps" carrying gilded crooks
and fans with the picture of sheep
on one side with I'm Little Pc Peep
etc, on the other. "Eaffy Down billy,
was one OF the best characters repre-
scented. Jack and JILL went hand in
hand to get the pail Of water" "Jacl
Horner" sat in the proverbial corner
and pulled out "plums" from a gigan
tic "pie." "Humpty'' Dumpty did no
look any the worse for the ''great
fall" Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary
proved herself most agreeable ant
"Taffy, the Welshman," was one o
the most popular characters in spitt
of his propensity for stealing.
When all the guests had arrived
Mother Goose, with Old King Cole
opened the grand march and the mu
sic played merrily. A piano will d.
for the dancing. but the addition of ;
violin is great improvement. Mucl
merriment was occasioned when tn,
masks were removed before the re
freshments were served While tn
young people are home for the summe
vacation some one may give a part.
like the one described, and l am sur,
it will be successful. OF course, tn,
masking is not essential, but adds I
little spice to the enjoyment. The re
freshments need not be elaborate, bu
a large bowl of lemonade should b.
conveniently placed where it will b,
easy of access to all.

it is generally known that he is usu-

Of Christian children for their rites
The belief still prevails very gener-
ally among the ignorant population in

and even in parts of Germany. Anti
Jewish agitators particularly in Russia
have always availed themselves Of
this belief and feeling, to fan the
flames Of hatred and prosecutions
against the Jews.

grotesque belief and charge against
the jews which is as unworthy of the
civilization and culture of today as it
would be to try Witches" said Dr..

SIXTY PIER DISASTER
VICTIMS DEMAND DAMAGES

Los Angeles, Oct. 28.-A joint de-
mand for 100000 damages is to be
made on the city of Long Beach by
sixty victims of the empire day disas-
ter of May "a, according to an an
nouncement made by w. H. Faust, Of
the Citizens National Bank building,
who represents a pool of the clairi-
ants.
If Long Beach refuses to pay, a sep
crate suit for each Of the claimants
will be filed against the city, Faust de-
clares. He believes that a test case
will be taken to the state supreme
court and that decision can be OBJ
tanned within two years.
City Attorney S. G. Long, of Long
Beach, promptly replied yesterday
that the city will fatty refuse to con-
slider any of the claims and would
contest the litigation to the last ditch.
"The recent formal report made by
the grand jury, fixing the blame on the
auditorium and neglecting to indicate
what persons were at fault in no way
affects our contemplated action"
Faust said eve were interested in
what the grand jury would say, Of
course, but have not delayed our ac-
tions for the report.
eve have been taking time to unite
our interests and make concerted
and well-planned attack on the city.
Our crowd represents all of the claim
ants except about ten. We will be
ready to deal with Long Beach in
about six weeks.
"The fact that our claims, repre-
|senting the interests of about sixty
persons, aggregate only 100000,
shows that we are very reasonable in
our demands. Three persons not af-
filiated with us have brought suits
aggregating S85,O0O.
"It is not our intention to attempt
to force Long Beach into paying enor-
nous amounts to be divided among
hungry lawyers. Our purpose in pool
ing our interests was to save the city
from unnecessary expense and to ar
range so that the maximum amount
of damages paid by the city would 90
to those who have suffered loss.
eve will make a formal demand
upon the city to pay the claims If Z
is refused we will begin at once a

Marshall's Views on Matrimony

liver himself of words of wisdom
upon matrimony. After telling how
he waited until he was Al before mar

spite the fact that he has no children,
he advised early marriages and child

legal fight to obtain our rights, a
suit will be filed for each Of the claim
ants, but it is not likely that all Of
the suits will be tried in court until
after test case is taken to the state
supreme court. We anticipate that the
city will file demurrer to our actions
and then the matter will be reduced
to a question of law"
