Alice always had clever affairs
and her May Day party of last year
was no exception to her rule. The
invitations were written on white
cardboard In one corner of which
had been pasted picture of spring
flower These had been cut out Of
crepe paper. The guests were asked
to represent the flower on their in
vitation when they attended the ball
OF the spring flowers. The day OF the
party was clear. and warm so Alice
entertained her flower friends on
the lawn. A pretty sight they made
indeed. There was the rose In pink
fluffy dress with a green hood, the
pansy In purple and gohi. Miss Daisy
In yellow and white. anu little but
tercup in golden yellow formed a
pretty group under one old shade
tree. Then there were Iris and violet,

TEA FOR A
LARGE PART
Tea for n largo Party.


When tea Is to be served for q
large number--say more than n
dozen--it is sometimes hard to make
1t freshly, as people come and go.
Try this method:
Before the first guest arrives t!S
up / tablespoonful of tea for every
s guests. (This may be too little
or too much) as kinds of tea vary
greatly, but this Is a good average
amount. An old napkin or a piece
of cheesecloth will do nicely.
Pour over this / quart of boiling
water for each Q spoons of tea and
let stand for about 15 minutes or un-
til it is slightly cool. Then take out
the bag OF tea.
Put water on to boil in a large
kettle.
AS guests want to be served fill
each cup with freshly boiled water
and add about 2 tablespoonsful OF
the tea essence. Tea may be made
stronger or weaker according to the
amount of essence used.
Garnlsh with n thin slice of lemon
or n couple OF whole cloves as de-
sired.

THE GUEST ROOM.

A pink blotter and rose -hued
ostrich feather ponholder are all
very gay and decorative for the
guest room--but who wants TO write
on pink blotter? Or scribble post
cords 10 the home folks with an
ostrich penholder? Ornamental
desk fittings, IL does seem, are being
carried n bit too farm the opinion
of sane people who really write; or
who count the gentle art of corre-
spondence as one OF the duties of
life, Alas, that the telephone, in
stalled in every boudoir-usually
under a petticoat of taffetI and gold
lace--has taken the place of grace
fully worded little messages in pen
and ink; and that pink blottera and
ostrick penholders are mere
posueurs in my lady's chamber!
In England the personally writ
ten note. delivered by footman or
by the post Is still the custom of
polite society. 1t is considered more
correct TO write than to telephone.
Better opportunities for writing
and less easy use OF the telephone
would make vast Improvement In
tho casual manners of young folks

When springtime suns shine
brightly
From out n bluoness up above
And south winds whisper lightly:
oh. come along and play with us
For happy is the hour:
Be young this day and play with us
Before the night shades lower.
For May time is a gay time.
A time for songs and Joys,
A happy golden play time
For gladsome girls and boys.

Let's all be young and gay.
For who cannot some pleasure find
