FoR A cAILDREN,s PARTY.

The mother who has more time THAN
money at her disposal can arrange
most delightful children's party at the
mere cost Of the tissue paper for the
favors. 10 begin with, she can pro
vide each little guest on arriving wssh
6 gay paper cap or bonnet. Children
always delight in dressing up. And Dy
way of breaking the ice, she can start
a paper napkin hunt with tie very
first arrival. The little tots will en-
low keeping what they find for their
doll houses. The game Will be given
added zest If on one of the napkins is
drawn a horseshoe for luck, the find
er thereof being awarded some pretty
trifls in paper. such as fan or
japanese lantern.
Then there is the merry clipping
game. For this stretch cord or RIB
bon across the room at the end farth-
est from where the children will
stand, and to it attach half dozen
pretty bags made of crepe paper, each
bag containing a very inexpensive
gift. Each child in turn is blindfold-
ed and is sent to clip one of the bags
from the cord
He has three minutes In which to
make his way unaided to the cord and
to clip one Of the bags. If successful
what it contains belongs to him. or
course, few only will succeed in
reaching the cord and clipping a bag
during the time allotted.
Other liyelier games and contests
may be arranged with simple paper
favors for prizes, things like tea
aprons, sashes and rosettes, that the
children can wear being likely to be
appreciated.
Tissue paper may also characterize
the supper table. The most easily
managed cloth" is one of those
which with 25 napkins, is sold as a
luncheon set for dime Its flower
strewn surface, with sprays of pink
roses and green foliage, will be a
complete novelty to the little guests.
The ppear napkins can be retained
for the search game. Use Instead the
more of a protection for party gowns,
with surprise rolls fastened in with
narrow strips of tissue paper repre-
senting ribbon.
Instead of natural blooms pretty It's
sue paper limitations can be cut by
means of the 10-cent patterns to form
a centerpiece for the table.

To Tailor Wash Erocks.

There wasea time when the tailored
gown meant cloth, and fairly heavy
quality at that; then lighter weights
and heavy pongee silks were included
in the tailor's stock The midsummer
costume now requires coat, and our
tailor does not go out of business
when his early sprnig season closes.
His order book is filed up to the
middle or the end of July, and his
summer stock includes all varieties OF
the pongee weave, beside the white
and colored costume linens.
Dressmakers and the home sewers
go one step further when they make
the Scotch ginghams, percales and
goods of like weight, with a tailored
finish.
Tailoring the tub gown, whether it
be the two-piece dress or the princess
effect, is a method with two excellent
results Tailoring means the strength.
ening of fairly low-priced material,
and it means very good style for the
simple morning street dress. Any
woman is more willing to appear in
the well-made, well-stitched cotton
gown that, therefore, has snap to it.,
than she would be to wear slung-
together dress bearing the combined
stamp Of rapid sewing and a bargain
price. Nothing could save it from
being mistaken for just a fair-looking
working dress.
To tailor the tub gown means only
a little bit more trouble and is not
half as difficult as it sounds. 1t does
not mean that one must have learned
the tailor's art But simply that one
must leave a good-sized seam every
where throughout the bodice and skirt
portions and whether these seams
be turned together underneath or
merely overcast, they are stitched
fat once or twice on the right side
after the gown is pressed. The bodice
seams should be stitched down before
the sleeves are put in; the skirt seams
done before the hem is turned up. II
there are blouse or skirt plaits, a
very nice tailor's touch is the row OF
stitching near the fold Of the plat.

IN A DOLL HOUSE.

A little girl WAS playing with her
doll Ann" She noticed that it was
not as cheerful and active as It
ought to be- She said. Il don't
know what is wrong with this baby.
Pa put new sawdust in her body
and Ma sewed a new arm on her
and Grandma took the head off of my
cousin Susie's doll. Mary, and fast
ened it on Ann, and now we call her
Mary Ann, still she don't seem to
grow and they say there's little
girl living in this same fiat that has
a doll that really grows, and it says
things and people talk about it. and
it gets bigger every day and Pa says
that when it gets as old as Mary
Ann it will be bigger than all the
ether dolls In the world, and he says
it may be as big as Ma. My Mas
name is Mcclure. No, | never say
it, but then city people often live
right in the same house with people
they never know. Pa says that II
you cont know anything that if you
just keep still, then a lot of peo-
pie will think you are smart.
Once two big bad men, that had on
gumshoes and talked that kind OF
talk like my Sunday school teacher,
kidnapped Mary Ann and made her
say her name was Jones. and people
didn't know whose baby she really
was, and Pa says that it is awful
bad to be kidnapped. and says he
wonders IL anyone ever tried to kid
nap that ether girls doll, but Pa
says the zeal kidnap man is chased
away and no one hardly knows where
he is at Pa says we don't really
own Mary Ann and he is just hired
to be her Pa
But she worried over Mary Ann,
and SO one day a Doctor" said to
her, IL know little girl who has a
doll that is growing and she gives
it few drops of red medicine every
time she brings it out and that
makes it look nice and cheerful
Now you give Mary Ann a few drops
of red medicine; this may stimulate
her and soon she may begin 70
grow" After the doctor had depart
ed, the little one began. Now If
few drops of red medicine is a
good thing, why wouldn't tub full
be better? II drop will help Mary
Ann, tub full will cure her." So
1t was not long before she was busy
stuffing red medicine down Mary
AIMS talking machinery, She pour
ed some down the helpless dolls
neck, washed her face with n.
sprinkled her clothes with it, split
some on her apron and Mary Ann
had red streaks in her hair. She
was full of red and still absorbing
more. Now speaking of red, reminds
me of the fact that The Spectator
thought little red on the cover
might be a good thing. Still, it knew
that there is difference between
RED" and being Read" Moral:
When your doll won't grow, all the
red in the world won't make her
grow for she is not built on the
right plan.

THINGS TO KNOW.

4 large pinch Of salt rat in the
tank of coal oil lamp viii cause
the lamp to give a better Light.
To wash off price mark that
sticks to china or bric-a-brac try a
little lemon and salt mixed together.
A pinch Of soda in cabbage, when
boiling, will mitigate the odor and
make the vegetable more digestible.
If -four sacks are to be washed,
turn them wrong side out and put
in cold water. Wash and rinse in
cold water. The use of hot water
for this purpose will make the -four
sticky and hard to wash out.
Clean your gas range on top with
kerosene. 1t is better than soap.
Treat the range in which coal is
burned in like manner, applying the
oil when the stove is cold.
Those who early looked askance at
the bright cerise. purple, catawba
green and other bright colored linen
suits are now buying them without
the slightest hesitation.
Those who haven't time to en-
broider work with soutache braid,
and those who want to save still more
time and yet have pretty trimming
use the net bands already embroidered
with soutache.
For children's wear the new checs-
ed material with wide satin stripes
Of plain color is a favorite. The ma
tsrial is plated so only the plain
color shows except when with a
movement of the body the plaits fall
apart.
Run your fingers along the line OF
your jaw bone. Is the flesh any thick
ca at one joint than another, that is,
has it begun in places to fall ''over
the edge?" Then you need to massage
until you have pushed backward and
upward every bit of it to the line is
clean-cut distinct.

The New nsaIome. Purse.

The "Salome" purse is one of the
most convenient of the new purses.
1t comes in patent leather, as well as
morocco. It's novelty lies in its shape,
which is almost square, though a
trifle higher than it is broad Another
purse is more oblong in shape, with
a fastening that is to be commended.
This is wide gold-tipped leather
flap which slips under leather strap.
A new purse that comes in the stun
ming purple morocco which promises
to be such favorits this season is
about the size and shape of the large
square envelope, only that the upper
edge is slightly narrower than the
lower. 1t is finished with leather
strap handles land is fitted with,
small mirror and a small fat MORE
silk bag that holds a tiny powder
puff.
Another Of the fitted purses with
long strap handles has a square mir
ror and small leather purse for the
powder puff, and there is a double
purse for money, the outer one being
intended for bills and the inner for
silver.
An oddly to be slipped inside the
gold and silver chain purses is soft
leather purse that is securely fastened
by what looks like gold collar but
ton with a colored stone in the top.
and which slips into a regular button
hole worked in the leather flap. These
come In all colors.
Pigskin promises to be the most
favored leather, because 1t harmonizes
in color so we'll with many Of the
new spring colors. Snakeskin in the
gray tones looks well with the new
taupe shades, while all the mauve and
purple shades will look we'll with
gowns OF contrasting color, 40 well as
those of the same hueA

Facts About Tea.

Tea is the leaf of shrub or bush
which grows or can be cultivated i'll
warm climates. After being stripped
from the bush the leaves are care
fully dried and packed away.
Tea when bought should be kept
in tightly closed receptacles of glass
or tin in order that the aroma may
be preserved
The amount Of dry tea needed for
each cupful of tea varies according
to the kind used, one teaspoonful
being the popular quantity Pots Of
china or earthen ware are consid-
cred better than metal.
Before making tea the pot should
be heated and scalded. Then put in
the dry tea, pour over it the water
which should be actually boiling
Cover closely and let stand in a
warm place for from three to FIVE
minutes; by that time the flavor
and good constituents of the tea
will be drawn out. but the tannin.
which is injurious, still remains in
the leaves.
Strain the tea off into fresh. hot
pot, and the tea is ready to sserve
Immediately.

New Lamp Shades.

It is rather hard to tell whether
some Of the new lamp sha1es were
made by the milliner or by the
dressmaker
A splendid affair in one OF the
monstrous shapes SO much liked Is
covered with stiff lowered brocade
and has a band of gold lace applied
over long silk fringe.
A shade Of cretonne having a de-
sign of huge cabbage roses Is fin
ished with two fringes, narrow
pink fringe to match the flowers
above wide fringe of buff to match
the background.
A young lady who must at least
be praised for her ingenuity used
pink neck ruching to finish q fiuted
shads OF pale pink DIX.

Arranging Photos for Girls Bedroom

Arranging Photos Tor girls Bedroom
The boy Or girl who is interested In
photography can make a pretty room
decoration of the results of the work
by placing the pictures in line, in
a color that will harmonic with the
room, around the wall on a level with
the eye A row of guimpe should
border it at the top and bottom. On
this put the photographs using the
ordinary brown or gray prints and
brass-headed tacl1s A space is left
between, and the linen should be
wider than the width of the pictures,
which are, Of course, of uniform
width. If the room is furnished in
blge or any other color with which
blue will look well, blue prints may
be used. They, too, must be uniform
size, and can be tracked or pasted
directly on the walls. without the lin
en-. Over them and under them a
blue gfmpe is run, and up and down
between the pictures The effect IS
like tiles. In this way a whole pic
ture gallery of ones friends and ones
personal experience may be arranged
around the room, neatly and in a
decorative manner. II is a good idea
to arrange them in groups that natu-
rally belong together, al the pictures
of one summers outing, Of one winter
at school and SO forth The most
convenient size FOR the pictures is
usually the ordinary four by Eve.

Cold Water is a Tonic.

Cold water applied externally is
matchless tonic, but, like other RENE
dial agents, it is not adapted to every
case. There are conditions of health
as well as disease when cold bath
might be fatal in effect. Peculiarities
of temperament and disposition and
individual susceptibilities much be
considered In water cures.
A cold bath is most beneficial taken
when the system is relaxed by indo-
lence, sleeplessness or mental unrest.
During convalescence its cautious uss
is productive of the happiest results.
A cold shock from shower of water
is often beneficial for constipation,
while in catarrhal and liver troubles
cold water is an essential in the
treatment Of course, attention to de-
tails is of the greatest Importance.
Done in five minutes in a comfortable
temperature, and the whole body rub
bed or brushed into glow OF warmth,
the desired results should be obtained,
whereas delay, negligence in making
the toilet, and ignorant exposure to
chill, will make the bath hurtful in
stead of beneficial.
People who take cold easily viii
find daily cold bath an effectual pre-
vention For those unfortunates des-
ignated as nerve Frustrated, habitual
cold dips before breakfast or after any
great strain upon the nerves or emo
tions in business, domestic or social
Intercourse, promises the best results.
Bilious. dyspeptic and corpulent wom-
en- need the tonic effect of cold water
at least once in "a hours, and cold
water does not mean freezing water.
In summer and autumn it is used just
as it flows from the pipes. but in win
ter a little warm should be added for
most persons.
