A Stork Party

The entertainment of a prospective
mother has always been a perplexing
problem to her friends who desire to
help her through the monotonous days
of waiting. Not long ago L attended
party of this sort, which proved to be
source of pleasure, both to the guest
of honor and to her friends who were
invited
Mrs. Adams originated the idea, and
telephoned others of her friends, who
then had a rehearsal meeting" at
which the young matron told of her
plans, asked for suggestions, and
finally evolved scheme. 1t was de-
cided that each one should make
certain article, or articles, for the
baby's wardrobe, and these combined
would comprise a complete layette for
the little stranger.
When all was in readiness the guest
of honor was invited for an afternoon
drive with Mrs. Adams in her car At
the appointed time the latter suggest
ed that they stop at her home for
refreshments. Here their friends had
already gathered and after a couple
of hours of music and conversation
the hostess invited us into the dining
room, where a simple luncheon con-
sisting of sandwiches, coffee, fruit,
cakes and ices was served. The place
cards were tiny storks and cupids.
When we were through with lunch
the hostess told us that while we were
partaking of good cheer the old stork
had paid visit to the library and
now requested our presence there.
Leading the way with the guest of
honor, she seated her by small table
facing the door, says The Mothers
Magazine. Then Mrs. Adams's maid,
dressed as nurse, pushed a baby
carriage into the room. She handed
the astonished matron card, which
read:
1.-THE Stork's Compliments to
Mrs. B."
Mastering her surprise, Mrs. B.
carefully lifted the downy blanket.
Beneath, folded in a blue satin-lined
basket, was soft, white flannel robe,
scalloped in baby blue and tied with
blue ribbons. along with sundry other
dainty, ribbon-tied packages. Amid
much merriment Mrs. B. united the
bundles and found, to her amazement,
a complete outfit for the little
stranger.

In order to shop for the coming
autumn / had first to shop for a
shopping suit Sounds rather COM
plicated. doesn't it? But that was
the problem I had before me last
week. And really a fine looking suit
is the first necessity of the fall sea-
son. If you own a pretty waist to
wear with it the outfit is quite APP
propriate for a chance invitation to
the theatre or lunch at one of the
downtown hotels.
Because Americans are all scurry-
ing home from Europe and won't
venture forth again while the waS
continues everyone predicts a very
gay winter in New York. If the
wealthy Americans are refused
amusement abroad they are not
going to deprive themselves of 1t at
home. And the dancing craze Is
going to make the season even more
brilliant. Although I am not fortu-
nate enough to be invited every
where, my outfit will have to be a
little larger and nicer than 1t was
last winter.
So, to begin with, I bought a suit
and quite a plain model, too-for it
must be suitable for street wear in
all kinds of weather. The material
was navy blue hopsacking, and the
skirt of the coat was fulled at the
hips, where it was fastened to the
bottom of half-fitting basque upper.
Jet buttons fastened the coat at the
left side. Collar and cuffs were made
of champagne satin.
Without doubt later l will have to
buy a more elaborate costume to
wear when mother and / go out to
make afternoon calls. Marion
shopped with me last week, and as
she is going to Montreal to visit, she
chose one suit for travelling and
more elaborate suit to wear in case
she was invited to an afternoon tea.
The material of the first was a small
plaid, English worsted, in green and
brown. The cape coat was edged in
a fringe of the material. as well as
the hem and side fastening of the
skirt. An olive-green waistcoat
peeped beneath the crossed surplice
of the cape coat in the front, and a
| haring pique collar stood high about
her neck. The suit looked very smart
and individual. We noticed several
similar suits made up in Roman
