WashingtOn's Birthday Party
 Some Suggestions
By Stuart B. Stone.

The Washington's Birthday Party is an ever-dependable means of brushing up the history of those of his 93,000,O00 offsprings who have about forgotten whether the Father of His Country dwelt on Mount Yer non or Mount Olympus and whether he married Marie Antoinette, Molly Darling or Lady Jane Grey. The fol- lowing suggestions are offered as be ing a pleasing variation from the modes of entertainment set forth in the ladies magazines.
 The preparations for the reception may be of true Washingtonian sim plicity. The porches may be ripped up and Colonial pillars built in. A perpendicular shaft 555 feet high, made of Delaware river ice or Sara toga chips, may be constructed upon the lawn as representative of the Washington monument. From the roof of the porch suspend duplicate of the Liberty Bell, which may be cast to order by the liberty-loving United States Steel Corporation.
 The invitations may be traced in buff and blue ink on chips from a red, white and blue barber-pole carved with hatchet into the shape of the Declaration of Independence of the battle of Yorktown. These may be delivered in a stage-coach by one of the only surviving bodyguards of George Washington, to be found in any Virginia small-town.
 The gentlemen may be met at the door by members of the local section of the D. A. R., and the ladies by members of the G. A. R. While the guests are assembling national airs by George M. Conan, Lincoln ]. Car ter and other patriotic writers may be set off.
 The festivities may be inaugurated with contest for the most novel an swers to the following questions:
 What does the Constitution amount to among friends?
 Cite one general or statesman of the Revolutionary period or any other period for whom a ten-cent cigar has not been named.
 What became of George the Thirds invitation to the Boston Tea Party?
 Name ten great Americans of the president day who would refuse third term.
 How many chunks of ice does the trust allow to escape down the Della ware river these Christmas days?
 The refreshments may consist of Maraschino cherries immersed in spirits of 1776, Cornwallis mullins, Yankee Doodle macaroni, Brandy wine cocktails. and Patrick Henry de foie gras.
 The entertainment may conclude

Grandma's Uncomfortable Time at a
 Reception

In the March WOman's Home Con- panion. Katharine Holland Brown, writing a story, makes the following comment in regard to old people and receptions:
 Wait till you're seventy-six, going on seventy-seven. You'll learn how it feels to stand for hours in a tight heavy gown, your shaky old head weighted with puffs and ornaments, your feet scuffling in cruel high -heeled shoes. Somebody always stands be- hind you, gaily flaming neuritis into your shoulders. Combody else stands in front and makes you talk till you re croaking- -hoarse. And if you escape with week of aches you'll do well"
