Giving a Lawn Party

will you be kind enough to give me
a suggestion as to holding a lawn party =?
I should not like to have it in the form
Of a lawn fete, but in the form of a
regular party with young men and
women. We have nice big lawn, and
should like to have a party, but do not
care to have it in the house. Also be
kind enough to tell me what to serve.
III. H.
If there are trees upon the lawn, set
small tables under these, near enough to-
sether to allow the play of conversation
rom one to the other. Have for re-
,reshments salads of various kinds, sand
wiches, finger rolls filled with highly
seasoned minced chicken and ham and
tied with narrow ribbons, fancy cakes,
ice cream and frappe, sherbet, tea, punch,
and iced coffee, with fruits in their sea-
son. Do not have hot meat and breads.
Suit your collation. to the weather and
the comfort of the guests. Let cheer and
cordality rule the hour. Devise amuse-
ments for those who like frolic even in
hot weather Your taste and knowledge
If the tastes and fancies of your friends
should guide you in the choice of these.

tCng to winter entertainments, but they

with regard to your statement that
corsets protect the frame from the
weight of skirts, how can that be? The
weight is there just the same, pressing
from the waist, where the vital organs
are situated. One of the corset's great
sins is, in my opinion, that it makes
more endurable the practice of hanging
ornaments from the hips instead of the
shoulders This is the reason it is worn
by many women who see only half the
truth.
Neither do 1 believe that the corset

Lest the frequent calls for silk pieces

are available for the work. One need not

Another Uncle Sam

Reading in the Corner of the United
States being named after Samuel Wilson,
who was called Uncle Sam reminds me
of another Samuel Wilson, who was my
grandfathe He fought in the war of
1872 and was known from far and near
as Uncle Sam His ancestors fought
in the revolutionary war and helped dump
the tea into the Boston harbor. Uncle
Sam Wilson was among those patriots,
and so each generation has handed down
the name to the following generation.
He now has a grandson bearing that
name. Eighteen of his grandsons fought
in the civil war. Five of them never re-
turned. Here is one of my grandfather 8
war stories: The boys had grown care
less about keeping watch of their guns
when they were stacked. So, to teach
them a lesson, one night he took all
their guns away. Then he made noise
like Indians coming. The men sprang in
haste for their guns, when. to their hor-
ror, none was to be found. CONSERVATION
reigned for while. But it proved USE
full lesson and was appreciated also

The Trap Door Spider

''In answer to Jacob x. E., who doubts
the existence of a spider having a home
with door or trap. L have in my pos
session spider commonly called the trar
door spider. Its nest was cut from a
clay bank. 1t is brown in color, as is the
clay. 1t is four inches long by an inch
and a half in diameter Over it is trap
door held by most ingenius hinge, and
closing with a spring. No unframed eye
could possibly detect it in the clay bank.
BY inserting a pin point, the trap door
may be raised. The interior is white and
finished like a piece of satin. Nature
provides way for the spider to open the
door of his home, for growing to one of
his feet is a hard little claw. With this
he passes in and out of his house. Once
inside, the door snapped shut, he is safe
from any intruder. This should silence
the skepticism~ of Jacob X. E.

Some Paint Remoyers

Continuing l.. T. Us reference to
paint, published in your Corner, L would
say that the so-called patent paint re-
movers contain equal parts of benzol and
wood alcohol with two ounces of paraffin
wax dissolved in each gallon. c. A. is
right, turpentine, benzine, gasoline naph-
tina, or alcohol are all equally useless for
removing dry paint or varnish. Alcohol
will remove shellac but paint requires
chloroform, ether, benzol mot benzine),
carbon tetrachloride, or lye Strong am
monia is good, so are chloroform and its
half brother, tetrachloride. Furthermore,
they have the additional advantage of be-
ing unburnable, while ether and benzol
are violently inflammable. l.. r. b.
