For Snrinu HOLIDAYS.

Such bewildering assortments Of
place cards. favors and table decora-
tons are to be found in the shops that
the hostess need not lack for sugges-
tons along these lines. Flags. Of
course, predominant as decoration for
the Lincoln day as well as the Wash
ington birthday celebrations. while the
crimson heart holds it's own as a sug-
gestion for st. Valentines day, and
nothing yet has been discovered which
can take the place of the shamrock and
harp as typical of st. Patrick's day.
For the hostess, however, who is
striving to find something original one
would suggest as centerpiece for the
Lincoln day table huge bunch of cot
ton bollS, which are in themselves
very dainty and pretty and suggestive
of the southland. The whole plan of
decoration may be carried out along
these lines. using miniature colored
dolls. log cabins, banjos. etc.
Then a menu card might be arranged
naming the different dishes after the
battles of the civil war.

Scheme For Card Party.

At card party of six tables the
hostess assigned the table by colOrs
in this way: She had her little daugh-
ter distribute four flowers of kind,
and each table had a vase of flowers
in the center OF the kind given to the
guests
For instance. four guests received
red roses. and they went to the table
having the vase of red roses in the
center The four pink roses found
their places, the four yellow and the
four pink tulips and the four yellow.
etc.
Scores were kept, as usual. on flow
er decorated cards. and at the end OF
the game the vases and flowers were
awarded as prizes. They were remov-
ed from the table during the game.
One would suggest baskets instead of
vases, as they are somewhat newer
and much in favor as prizes, or some
of the very attractive flower holders
might be used. Guests are always
pleased with them, and no one minds
having more than one.

Good
form
For ST. Valentines Functions.

For ST. Valentines Functions.
The heart is the accepted symbol for
St Valentines day, and place cards
for the dinner or luncheon table cut
out of red or white paper in this shape
can be easily decorated.
The pairing off of dinner companions
on this evening is easily done If the
names of famous lovers of history are
borrowed to help you in modern plac-
ing of guests or members of the fam
lily. By writing or printing the names
On cards a very easy arrangement Is
possible.
Romeo and Juliet, Dante and Bea-
trice, Petrarch and Laura, Antony and
Cleopatra, Darby and Joan, Sleeping
Beauty and Prince Charming are some
suggestions for pairing.
The woman's name should be placed
Oh one card, the mans name on an,
other, and the two lovers should seat
themselves in adjoining chairs at thu
table.
Little Cupids form a very important
part Of the decoration. Their artistic
arrows and forgetmenots are also good
to use as decorative accessories. These
can be drawn or painted, and if traced
from tissue paper or regular wax trac-
ing paper can be done with satisfac-
ton and quickness.
Verses from the poets found in any
collection OF poetical quotations will
help you in a further appropriate dec
Grafton of place cards.

Sheep In Wisconsin.

Yet Wisconsin has only $50, 1000 sheep.
We should have twice that number. In
Scotland, where pastures and grains
are scarce indeed, compared to our pro-
duction, there are ! 400 sheep for every
1000 acres. Wisconsin can do as well.
Many well managed Badger focks have
been made 100 per cent profit producers.
Rarely does the profit fall below % per
cent and even that low figure is touched
only where the methods employed are
exceedingly poor.-Wisconsin Farmer.

On St, Valentines Day.

ST Valentines day is always day
for much entertaining. A. suitable Gen.
terpiece would be plaster cast of
the goddess of marriage. Arrange a
wreath of orange blossoms or bride
roses at the base of the statue and
around her neck place garlands of
small pink flowers, to be distributed
later among the guests. Instead of
place cards use a small gilded bow
and arrow at each place, writing the
name of the guest on the arrow and a
quotation appropriate to that guest on
the bow. Serve as many things in
heart shapes" as possible.

His Stomach Troubles Over.

Mr. Dyspeptic, would you not like to

you that you do not even hope for an ending of
your trouble, but permit us to assure you that
it not altogether impossible. If others can be
cured perman emily, and thousands have been,

Dancer in WAITING.

Just because an Oregon scientist de-
clares that old men do the best work
is no reason, of course, why young
fellows should put off contemplated
clining years. 1t may be that the man
who accomplishes little in his early
maturity will make up for the lack
when he starts down the western slope
of life. 1t doesn't sound reasonable,
however.

1t is no longer chic to wear an en-

platinum is passe) must be alone in it's
glory, while the engagement ring is
