A HARVEST PARTY.

truly delightful country entertain
ment is a harvest party. 1t should be
given out-of-doors. on a lawn or In a
field or woods. and it can be given either
In the afternoon or else in the evening.
In the evening artificial Iights-eIectr4c
bulbs strung among the the trees. Jap
anese lanterns holding candles or big
searchlights-will be necessary.
The decorations should consist of niles
of harvest fruits and vegetables Sheafs
OF grain. stacks of hay. pumpkins and
squashes and various other harvest
products make striking decorations.
The refreshments at a harvest party
should obviously be simple, and of the
sort that can be harvested" Plenty of
fruit should be in evidence, grapes and
peaches and pears and plums and other
nome products-but exotic fruits should
be taboo for this once.
Ihen there might be vegetable sand
wlches-cucumber and tomato and let
tuce and green pepper. A fruit punch
and the inevitable ices and cakes could
also be served
Inc guests have an important part in
the harvest party. For the guests must
come representing various timely fruits
ana vegetables. Their costume can con-
slst In a whole disguise or in a border
OF tiny paper pumpkins pinned about
the hem OF the skirt or the coat sleeves
Tor instance, for pumpkins that do
not care to go to the trouble of an
elaborate costume.

average willow plume.

OIL FOR RATTAN.

Old rattan chairs may be much i'm
proved unless they are broken, and even
then they may be mended by scrubbing
and rinsing, and after they are perfectly
dry dressing them with oil. as described,
on both the wrong and the right sides,
working well into the crevices. II new
rattan furniture is thus oiled at first
and cleaned and oiled once a year there
after. it will last for years.
II your market basket. clothes basket
or waste-paper basket of willow shows
few loose ends, put it to soak for
twenty minutes in lukewarm water. Rest
1t on the part that is to be repaired
then turn in enough water to soak this
part. The important thing is to get the
willow ends soft and pliable. When this
is accomplished, the strips can be readily
bent back into place, and IL you push
them in firmly they will stay in place
when dry. Never try to bend willow
be sure to snap OF. II you use liquid
with shellac varnish after the glue has
dried. During damp. muggy weather
glue is apt to loosen andNallow the mend
ed article to come apart. Shellac var
nish Is impervious to moisture and so
prevents the glue from being attacked.
1t is also Of a neutral color and does
not show.
When the cane seats of chairs have be-
come stretched, take a teaspoonful of
washing soda and dissolve 1t in a quart
Of boiling water. Dip a cloth IN this
solution and wipe the under side of the
seats, leaving the chairs turned upside
down to dry. This treatment will shrink
the cane to its original size.

Famous Women
Her Birthday and Yours
Marguerite BIessington.

CCoTyrignt lsl4l
Sometimes it is a distinction to be
hOmely Such was the case of Marguerite
Blessington, who as a child was known
simply as the plain member of a
family of seven other remarkably fine
looking children. Marguerite was born
in Ireland in 17Sg. Her father, who was
known locally as ''Shiver the Frills'' be-
cause Of his lace ruffles. white buck
skins, top boots and white cravats, kept
his family in stale of decentralization
and general terror.
At fourteen and a half Marguerite. in
spite Of her plainness, received an Of
fer Of marriage from an English army
officer. He was one Of many suitors and
her family forced her against her will
to accept him. Marguerite consented re-
luctantly, but when soon after the mar
riage he was called from Ireland back
70 England, the child-wife refused to go
with him.
BY the time the plain member II
the family had reached the age Of
eighteen she had turned out to be a
great beauty. Because of her early mar
rage and her separation from her hus-
band she had remained at home But
about this time her former husband died
and within four months of his death she
was married to the Earl of Blessington,
a man seven years her senior. who pos
sessed an income of 10000 pounds a year

TO PRESERVE THE TEETH.

There is less excuse for ugly looking
teeth than for almost any other unfor-
tunate feature Much can be done nova
days to improve them. Whatever other
allowances may be made in the matter
of physical unattractiveness sympathy
halts at the teeth.
Vigilance should begin as soon as the
first teeth appear, and should never be
relaxed. Nothing short Of perfect clean
illness will prevent decay, and no
amount of trouble, should be considered
too high price to pay.
The teeth should be thoroughly,
though never roughly brushed morning
and night, and the mouth rinsed afteE
meals with an antiseptic lotion, and par
ticles of food being removed from be-
tween the teeth by means of dental floss.
II the brushing is not persisted in

The Guest in Your House.

No household can be said to be estab-

self to make a burden of the presence
OF guests-to attempt a form OF hospi-
tality which strains your nerves and
your resources, and. in the second place.
il isn't fair TO the guest To most OF US
the great pleasure in visiting another's
home is to share in the actual life OF our
hostess. to be for a time part OF another

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1914.
According to those who read the stars
this is not a lucky day. for Neptune,
Saturn. and Uranus all rule with evil
power.
In the early hours there is a sway
held to be peculiarly potent for those
who deceive or practice fraud. 1t is
an exceedingly unfavorable time for buy
ing and investing.
While this government prevails the
seers declare that 1t is well to be wary
Of new acquaintances and to avoid form
ing any business associations.
While Neptune is adverse danger from
contagious diseases is supposed to be
Increased. The Importance OF observing
sanitary regulations Is obligatory, as
noxious odors and infected water gain
added possibilities of doing harm.
Peril from water Is not limited to that
which Is drunk while this sign exists
Drownings are more common and all
who travel in ships should be cautious.
Saturn is in a place read as inimical
to enterprises which involve foresight
and business acumen. Delay in all new
undertakings Is counseled.
In ancient lore old buildings, gloomy
districts, and underground places were
declared to be especially dangerous when
Saturn was in evil aspect.
Old persons are warned against the
possibility OF falls and they should
guard against colds.
Il is not an auspicious time for be-
ginning journeys. Railway accidents are
foreshadowed.
The seers predict that the autumn will
be marked by many untoward events.
The unrest and trouble long predicted in
Europe will spread to unexpected quar-
ters.
Women In the West are to meet with
mingled victories and defeats in suffrage
campaigns. There is an encouraging
sign for one State.
Theatrical affairs are subject to con-
ditions leading to great activity. The
first part of the season will be marked
by many failures OF light plays, come
dies and farces.

Lawrence was honored to paint her por-
trait.
The earl died before many years had
passed and Marguerite found to her sur
prise that the estate had been consid-
erably depleted. But Marguerite was
unwilling to lower the standard of her
living. She was used to the elegance of
being a countess and she refused to go
back to her old poverty. Accordingly
she took to writing. For nearly twenty
years after this she earned from ten to
fifteen thousand dollars a year with her
pen But her annual expenses were $4,000

perpetual Indebtedness. The brilliant So
