and black slippers and n blue lOng-tailed
coat turned back over a white vest.
shrtwaist with a rufile down the front
and a black ribbon wound about the neck
under a frill TO form a stock would make n
beautiful Colonial shirt, and his hat could
be made OF black paper, tricorned and with
a white rosette. The little girl should have
a full skirt and plain waist of some pretty
colored crepe paper and a white kerchief
and wide cuffs to hersshort sleeves. A full
crowned hat. with a ruffied border and rib
bon tied about the crown, would complete
her costume
Set the table with the twelve places
having a tiny souvenir hatchet at each
place Red. white and blue candy
boxes filled with tiny mint drops make
pretty favors also. Suspend a large papier-
machs hatchet from the ceiling or chande-
lier with red white and blue ribbons. Place
pretty little glass dishes filled with red and
white peppermints and bonbons on the table.
Serve a nice clear soup in cups, chicken
with cream and rice sauce, mashed pota-
toes and spinach the latter prettly trimmed
with the grated yolk OF egg ice cream in the
form of little cooked hats, hatchets, cher
ries and other emblems of Washington and
little iced cakes.
After serving the luncheon, let the chill
dren talk and become better acquainted for

game which is somewhat similar to Going

a row, back to back. In the center Of the
room. Then let all the children but one
sit down. This one left out starts a story
about George Washington, and every time
he says washington said, Il cannot tell q
lie '" every one must get up and turn
around and sit down again. The story
should continue, and when the teller SAYS,
washington said, Tell tho army to keen
up Its courage, all is not over" every one
should get up and change seats In the
excitement the narrator tries TO slip into
one of the chairs, and II he succeeds the
one left without a chair proceeds with the
story. 1t causes all the more fun to saw
nearly the whole sentence and then change
the last three or four words for IL the
hearers make a mistake and get up at the
wrong time forfeit is required of each
one. And much fun can be made over the
forfeits.
