de chine, is A charming blouse model
for summer and fall
The fronts and back show a cluster
of very tiny tucks run from shoulder
to waist at the extreme sides, and again
some four inches inside of that, with
the tucks nicely matched on the Shout
der seams. A similar cluster of tucks
is then run across the bottom of the
blouse, crossing the others about four
inches above the belt and carefully
matched at the under-arm seams.
In front, slash is cut almost up to
the bust line at either side, and so ar
ranged as to occur in the center of the
four-inch space left between the two
clusters of lengthwise tucks.
The slashes are button trimmed and
show close line of corresponding but
tonholes. They must not be allowed to
gap much-n fact, SO slightly, that no
backing will be needed.
This blouse slips on over the head
and so shows an opening below the
collar extending to the bust line. There
is a prettily shaped collar turned back
from the V-neck and d silk tie is
knotted beneath it.
The long sleeves show perpendicular
tucks to the elbow. which are crossed
lower down by cluster running
around the forearm. Buttons trim the
outside above the wrist.

Declines Additional Burden.

have no desire to add to my bur-
dens lot of wealth that would bring
me no tisfaction,'' said Father Gra-
ham. Il am by no means rich, but
have enough worldly goods for my
physical needs, and besides, am near
ly sixty years old and often afflicted
with rheumatism. Why should rheu
matte old man like me choose to spend
the rest of his days on earth under the
weight of so much money? Give it to
my poor relatives who need it."
Father Graham yesterday received
communications from attorneys in both
places asking for directions as to the
of the estate. He at once
replied that he did not want the money,
and directed them to get into commune
cation with the heirs next in line.

Summer Card Party.

Summer has no terrorS for the true
ard player. and there are many host
esSes who. even in the dog days. find
a card party the simplest form of en-
tertainment.
For chilly or rainy evenings at the
mountain or beach resorts an exciting
tourney around the card tables is really
comforting. The function is less for
NAL than in winter, and souvenirs ana
prizes less elaborate.
If the games are to be played on the
porch-and in most homes the porch is
larger than the living ronm-many
japanese lanterns may be lighted. and
Il locomotive headlight or some other
powerful light with strong reflector
fastened at one end of the veranda

or Il dozen tables.
The tally cards for summer card par
ties should be summary in appearance
Flowers of all sorts are pretty, and
the little Dutch children or Japanese
maldens, although not especially Sug
SestlVe of summer. are so dainty and
pretty that they are always attractive
Favors like the old German favors
are often given nowadays at card
parties, and have almost replaced the
more expensive favors--which is an
other reason why the summer hostess
llkes to give card parties.

prizes.
A realistic piece of strawberry short

a Japanese lawn party, at which both
women and men would be expected to
wear gayly colored kimonos, the ar
engagements of the girls hair matching,
of course. Japanese paper paraso!s
would make the scene still more gay,
and there Gould be prize for the most
effective getup as well as other favors,
if liked. In the Japanese stores there
are number of cheap trifles' which
would do Off these-wind flutes. de-
lightfui toys which, when hung in
draft, make little tinkling, wistful
sounds; imitation jade bracelets, paper
fans. lanterns, etc. If such fete is
prolonged into the night, Japanese Ian
terms hung about in the trees or shrub
berry would be fitting touch.
Whether the function is' large or
small, at an early hour the hostess
or reception committee appears on the
music and receive the first guest with
due ceremony. The girls who receive
can dispense with their hats if they
please, using their parasols, If they
are SO supplied. to shield their eyes.
To each arriving guest the single host
ess or chief lady of ceremonies gives
her hand and a word of greeting. and
unless other newcomers claim their at
tention at once the receiving lady or
ladies can move about, making intro
auctions and enjoying themselves.
Upon arriving at the affair the guests
divest themselves of wraps, wells and
topcoats in the house or tent set apart
for the purpose. They then greet the
hostess or receiving committee and
stroll about with personal friends, as
they feel disposed At the large party
got up in fine manner it is also usual
for the guests to leave visiting cards
on entering or departing from the
house. which is always thrown open for
such occasions; but at a small affair
or at any where informal dress is to
be the rule this would be a needless
politeness.
The refreshment booth of the con-
ventiona1 affair is always ready to deal
| out it's good things, SO that guests may
partake of them any moment they
choose without waiting to be invited
by the hostess or managers of the af
| fair.

! Z 1t would be had taste to prolong ones
stay after the hour named, but at the
same time the most easygoing hostess
will be offended if guests come SO late
as to lose the freshness of the after
| function it is possible for a guest to
! slip away without the formality of
| leaye-taking, but if she or he stays

to make the usual goodbye with the

However given, it is always wise to

with all private functions it is as nee
essary to put the lower part of the
| house in order as it is to prepare the
grounds. Decorations for garden par
ties are largely composed of flowers.

was that Jimmy lived somewhere in the
Green Forest. He had seen him many
times darting from tree to tree, but
Jimmy never had stayed still in one

never had been interested enough before
to even wonder what kind of a house
Jimmy had or where ii was. But now

about him was of interest. You know
