How TO Entertain Your Guests Cleverly
If you want to entertain group Of
friends and your rooms are not large
enough for dancing. and you are tired
Of whist and bridge, try having lit
erary party.
First Of all select congenial people
and have the invitations printed on
small folders. II your library is large
enough have the guests assemble there
and have some one representing H.
brarian distribute small notebooks pre-
pared in this manner. At any shop
dainty miniature booklets are pur-
chasable. or If you are clever at max
ing things of this sort they will be even
more interesting than those purchased.
Attach to each Of these as many book
marks as there are guests. Pieces of
narrow ribbon are used for this pur-
pose, and tiny envelopes are then fas-
tened to the ends Of the ribbons.
On the fyleaf Of each miniature
notebook write an incident taken from
some we'll known book. Make fifty
words the limit for this description.
Provide each guest with slips Of paper
on which are written the guesses at
the name of the book suggested by
the description Of the f1yleaf. Each
guest slips his guess into the envelope
and seals it. writing his name on the
outside.
When all the envelopes are filed &C.
lect the cleverest guest, who possesses
plenty Of wit and humor, to open the
envelopes and read the attempts at cor
rect guessing. Award an appropriate
prize to the one guessing the greatest
number correctly. A bookrack, maya
zine cover. book or library scissors
are in good taste. When writing the
description on the fyleaf choose anus
ing incidents and quotations as much
as possible.

MATHEWSON NO TERROR
FOR the GREAT WAGNER
Pirate Veteran Has Hit Giant Star For
Average Of 500.

For thirteen years Christopher Math-
ewson Of the New York Giants and
Honus Wagner, the great swatsman Of
the Pittsburgh Nationals, have faced
each other in baseball contests and for
that many seasons have tried to out
wit each other. To all real lovers Of
the game the meeting Of these king
pins is treat and is always watched
with the keenest interest "Matty YER
sus Honus" is the part Of the program
which causes every one but the oppos-
ing players to settle back with the feel
ing that the best part Of the show is
about to be staged
In the 283 times the big pitcher has
faced the great batter he has famed
him less than q dozen times, and Ger.
tainly he bears no grudge against the
hero Of Carnegie. for he has never hit
him with the ball, although at times no
one would have blamed him If he had.
In issuing passes to his friend the en-
envy Christy has been very stingy. In
all the years he has labored to deceive
the Dutchman he has presented him
with fourteen passes to first, about one
year. Here is what Wagner did to
Mathewson in the seventy games
in which he faced the greatest hurler
in the National. The records show
where Honus made Just one lonesome
home run, and 1t took thirteen seasons

How to Extsrminats the Troublesome
cockroaehes.
TATITH the approach of warm
NV spring weather cockroaches
" multiply rapidly and leave
their winter hiding places.
The following simple remedy recon-
mended by one Of the department Of
agriculture's scientists, will unques-
tiOnably destroy great quantities Of the
pest and keep them in check as ef-
fectively as troublesome insect pow
ders and dangerous poisons:
Mix one part Of plaster Of paris and
three or four parts of -four. Place this
dry mixture in q saucer or on q fat
piece Of wood or tin where reaches are
numerous. Nearby place another fat
plate containing pure water. Supply
few inclines of wood or cardboard
from the floor to the edge Of the plate
or saucer to give easy access. Float
one or two thin pieces Of wood on the
water so that they will touch the edge
of the dish. The insects readily eat
the plaster mixture. become thirsty
and drink. The water makes the plas-
ter set in the intestines and kills the
roach.
Another simple trap which has been
successfully used is the following: A
deep vessel OF. jar Is partially filed
with stale beer, for which reaches seem
to have a special fondness. A num-
Der Of fat strips Of rough wood are
placed at an incline against the vessel
and bent over so that they project into
the interior a few inches. The roach
es climb up the inclined sticks to get
the beer and slip OF into the vessel.
There are various poisons which, 1t is
asserted. are fairly effective as rem
edies against reaches. The only one Of
these that seems to give satisfactory
results is a phosphorus paste, sold in
the form Of pills. 1t consists of sweet
ened -four paste containing l to 2 per
cent Of phosphorus, and Is spread on
bits of paper or cardboard and placed
in the runways Of the reaches. This
mixture has been used very success
fully in the department Of agriculture
to free desks from Croton bugs, num-
bers Of the dead insects being found in
the drawers every day during the time
the poison was kept about. As phos-
phorus is poisonous to human beings
and domestic animals, besides being
highly inflammable, It should be used
very carefully.
Considerable relief may be gained by
liberal use Of pyrethrum powder. It
is not perfect remedy, however, and
is at best but temporary expedient.
1t may also be burned in an infested
apartment. The smoke and vapors
generated by the burning Of this in
secticide are often more effective in
destroying reaches than the application
of the substance in the ordinary way
as a powder. There is no attendant
danger Of explosion, and the only pre-
caution necessary is to see that the
room is kept tightly closed for from
six to twelve hours.

HOW TO TRANSFORM THE
kIMONO.

1t is wonderful to realize how
much a small affair like a fchu
will do toward transforming the

Grape into garment that looks
almost us drcssy as q tea gown
and certainly one in which a
matron may receive a compare
tive stranger rather than keep
that stranger waiting while she
makes q more elaborate toilet.
The fichu, which is prettiest
in dotted net or swiss, should
be at least yard and a half
long by twenty-seven inches
wide and finished along the out
er edge and the two ends with a
frilling Of plain net or swiss. 1t

form shallow little folds across
the back and over the top of the

The mysterious looking pie proved
more interesting than did Jack Hor-

daintier than this homemade pie of
many surprises.
Aside from this feature was some
thing new and decidedly novel. An
ingenious girl, deeply interested in the
forthcoming nuptials, held the ribbons

1t is a pite0us ana an exasperating
thing to see glorious azalea or spirea
or plantagenista reduced in couple OF
days from mass Of vivid bloom to
muddle Of withered petals and bare
stalks.
A draft is usually the cause Of this.
The plants have been forced In the
high. even temperature Of dollhouse
and have not been long enough at the
florists to get hardened. The only
thing to do is to keep them in warm
place. Give them very little water IT
they seem too dry and carefully cut

Such plants will be Joy for weeks

Daffodils and narcissi should look as If

Never put daffodils and jonquils into
