AN AUGUST LAWN PARTY.

In this country the summer lawn party
is classed with the informal entertain
ments, and hence friendly little note is
the accepted form of invitation. How
ever, many women ISuse their visiting
cards with the date Md hour on the left
hand corner and the words. Lawn
party" written across the top Of the card.
Invitations to lawn parties should be an
swered either by acceptance or regrets as
soon as a decision can be reached.
On the day of the party the lawns
should be moved very short, the flower
beds trimmed and cleaned from all dead
leaves, and the entire first floor of the
house thrown open-windows and doors.
Tables with chairs should be scattered
over the lawn. and IL possible two or
three rugs should be placed about on the
lawn under some chairs in order that
elderly people may have protection from
the damp ground. 1t is generally well
worth while to hire few dozen camp
chairs from the town caterer IL you ex-
pect a large crowd, as It saves much
work in carrying large ones from the
house
One large table is covered with an i'm
maculate white tablecloth, and from this
are served the refreshments. Fruit
should be served in great abundance. and
at this season Of the year. when peaches
are plentiful there should be a heaping
dish of them on the table. A large bowl
of punch or some mixed fruit drink
should be on the center of the table. and
the menu should consist Of salads. sand

her guests are due to arrive. She should
be assisted during the afternoon by young
girls, also dressed in their very best aft
ernoon gowns. The hostess must be in
conspicuous place, where all of her ar
irving guests can easily find her. She
must see that any stranger is introduced
to her assistants, and they in turn intro
duce the newcomer to as many OF the
guests as possible. During the entire
afternoon she must cast fleeing glances
over her assembled guests, seeing that
no girl is strolling about alone, and get
ting congenial people together in friendly
little circles. II she finds that some
young man is being bored to death by a
circle of women who are talking
clothes" she should rescue him and lead
him away to a group Of more agreeable
young people.
II the garden or lawn party is to be
a large affair, such as an afternoon tea
would be in the winter, music should be
played during the entire afternoon.
Stringed instruments are preferable, such
as mandolin, guitars. and banjos. For a
small party music is not necessary. In
departing, guests must seek their hostess
and bid her good-by with some compli-
mentary remark about having had q good
time, etc.
Guests who have attended a lawn party
should call upon their hostess within
week or two. Summer calls are very in
formal. but they are none the less nee
essary, and II man or woman has spent
jolly afternoon at the expense Of a
charming hostess, the least they can do
Is TO pay the prescribed party call"

The decided salty flavor Of ham rem
ders it one Of the most palatable meats
that can be served during the hot months.
When the fresh meats begin to pail and
seem heavy, ham, either alone or in COM
bination with chicken, veal, or sweet
breads, can be 80 prepared as to just
touch the spot" The buying and cook
ing of the various cuts, however, have
much to do with its tasty and appetizing
qualities, and the housewife who would
have the service Of ham greeted with well
come must study the best methods Of
offering II in inviting ways.
To bake a ham so that II will have
a perfect flavor, an English recipe Is un-
eQualed. Soak the ham as for boiling.
and after wiping it quite dry, cover en-
tirely with a thick paste made Of -four
paper, tying it in several places to pre-
vent the paper from slipping of. Place
the ham In a baking tin and cook in a
well-heated oven. basting 1t frequently
over the fire with hot drippings. If the
paper shows evidences of becoming

hours in the oven As soon as 1t is done

THE PICNIC GIRL.

The picnic girl IL the jolliest, brightest,
and most good-natured Of all the large
family OF summer girls. In the FIRST place.
she starts out to have a good time and
TO have everybody else have one, and con-
sequently she leaves any little pet dig
mites she may have at home with her
starched frocks and her long gloves. and
forgets herself completely.
She does not worry everybody on the
way by wondering II it will rain. Ger
tainly rain is not a Joyous addition to a
picnic, but IL IL comes nobody can help
II, and the party must make the best OF
IL. The person who predicts rain and
then self-righteously exclaims. There

Don't make the mistake of wearing
your good clothes to a picnic. nor yet
Of wearing a frock that is soiled or I'M

do Wear a dress that you won't re-
greet tearing or spelling. Have It fresh
and clean. and whatever you do, don't

The woods are swarming In August
