AMUSING PAPER DOLL PARTY
Original Way of Entertaining Little
Girls at Afternoon Party-Wln-
ner Is Given Prize.

If some little girl is thinking of in
viting her girl friends in for an after
noon entertainment paper doll affair
will prove most original and amusing.
When you invite the girls tell them
each to bring a pair of scissors.
When all have arrived seat them
at sewing tables and allow them to
choose from the colored fashion plates
the dress each likes best. Heads al
ready must be cut from advertisements
so all the children will have to do
is to cut out the dresses. Tissue pa
per, lace paper and all sorts of odds
and ends of gilt and silver paper are
placed on the sewing tables and with
jars Of library paste happy hour will
follow. Simple prizes, such as a pair
Of scissors, or paper doll outfit which
is put up by crepe paper houses in
attractive form will prove satisfac-
tory.
One mother who employed this
party to entertain twenty little girls
declared that she never gave a party
which was so little trouble or gave so
much pleasure. Perhaps the reason is
that the secret of making children as
well as grown people happy is to keep
them busy.

Mrs. Watkins lives at No. $50 Fort

tains her office. She is the only wom-
an member of the 100000 club, an
organisation of expert insurance
agents whose annual writings of poll
cies reach that amount every year.
She declares, and her associates,
who are men, agree with her, that she
gained her success through competi-
ton on equal grounds with her male
opponents, and she has vanquished
them in contests entirely by superior
arguments, and not by falling back on
the handicap which her sex might give
her.-New York Times.

Historical Records Lost.

There are two great nations of an
tiquity whose inscriptions cannot yet
be read--the Etruscans and, the Hit
tites. The Etruscans occupied part
of Italy, corresponding roughly to what
is now known as Tuscany. The Hit
tites at one time occupied part of
Palestine, and united with the Canaan
ties to resist the invasion by the
Israelites under Joshua. The Etrus-
can and Hittite inscriptions have thus
far resisted the attempts Of scholars
to decipher them, though no one
knows when someone may stumble on
a bilingual inscription which will serve
as key, just as the Rosetta stone, dis
covered in Egypt in 1899, served as a
key to the Egyptian hieroglyphics. In
