Your Home and

An Autumn Flower Party.
BY HELEN KENDALL.

"Dorothy's birthday comes next
week. and suppose she must have a
party, but I certainly dread it," ejacu-
lated a homemaker who has three
children's birthday parties year to
manage. The youngsters are all so
shy and silent at first; and then they
ali want to play different games and
get to squealing. and sometimes even
quarreling bit. Then somebody
cries, and the only thing that makes
them all really happy again is the
you try hiding peanuts or popcorn. all
the strenuous small boys tear around
and find them, leaving the littler ones
wandering around disconsolate.

get away from the old trouble-mak-
ing games"
"Why don't you try wild flower
party?" inquired her visiting sister
in-law, who had a group of children
in a settlement. "Out here in this
lovely suburb there are any number
OF beautiful autumn flowers that the
rich in them. offer a prize for the
largest collection OF wild flowers
brought to the party; then another
prize for the child who knows the
names of the greatest number. Oner

"Then let Dorothy herself decorate
the house and verandas with golden
rod and wild asters, bittersweet and
wild cucumber vines with their pretty
pods, and have the table decked with
some of the most colorful flowers
from your autumn garden.
Well put a little color sketch OF
autumn blooms on each little Invita-
ton and say that no gifts are per
missible except the flowers the chill
dren bring. Let Dorothy give the
prizes, and try to have pretty favor
even for the children who do not get
prizes. I am always SO sorry to see
the greedy look in the face OF child
who Is giving birthday party. when
she expects every guest to bring her
something, Dorothy will have plenty
Of gifts from all US. Let's show her
the Joy OF giving and start new
birthday party idea in this suburb.
Instead of the old squealing games
We will learn some pretty folk dances

The Happy Medium.


X /OUNG RALPH BEECHER was
" a reporter on an upstate
paper, but he was taking a
week off to play amateur de-
tective on a downstate pay roll rob-
Jery case. because Merriam Lindsay's
husband was supposed to be involved
n the crime.
AS a schoolboy young Beecher had
enthusiastically admired the peppery

been rather tomboy in those days.
But he had scarcely seen her since
she was a leggy, little twelve-year-
old with a propensity for all sorts of
ooy-like pranks. 1t was entirely nat
ural that when he saw her again. a

should appeal to his imagination. He
went as valiantly to her rescue as he

They'd been good little pals in those

were both strong willed and out

nothing sentimental in Ralphs inter

Beecher's first move had been TO get

being his accomplice, had lived there
for several months. Beecher reck-

was also the work of these particular

loves this story of how the elephant got

to girls and women is also Of Czecho-
slovakian origin. 1t is an accurately
furnished interior of a peasant cottage
of that country. Every piece of furni-
ture from the dover chest to the very
elaborate bedstead is decorated with
highly colored conventionalized designs
which clearly had their inspiration in
the flowers and fruits Of that country.
The same is also true of the music Of
these Bohemian communities. The peo-
pie take that which is real and known
to them personally and develop their
music and other arts from materials
that they know Perhaps that is one
reason that America has been SO slow
in developing these artistic lines The
people of this country are too prone to
initiate other styles of art rather than
utilize the materials actually at hand
and develop original work. But then.

Nor did the Normans have to do
more than merely rule most of these

suck a warlike and dominating race

and one which naturally became

families ruling in different sections
of Europe. In turn, kings names
were generally popular among the

their popularity is because they are
SO comfortable, for the garment
