A Garden.

Children ought to have d garden.
Growing things and growing children
belong to each other. The planting
of seed is an impulse of faith and
for that reason alone, if there were
no others, the child needs a. garden.
Faith is a quality that adds flavor TO
the soul and zest of life and it grows
scarcer as the cities squeeze the
lovely things between the bricks and
stones. There is room for none of
the flowers, for none of the gracious
leisurely things like faith and grace
and beauty. Yet children should have
a garden.
When they are very little they will
dig in the soil and carefully pile it
on one place for the pleasure of car
will plant stones. They will lay them
in circles and squares, just as, long
ago, their fathers laid out their
houses in the wilderness. Then they
will dig up a great plant and set 1t
shallowly in the sun-baked earth
where it will die a mercifully quick
death. After that they will begin to
water the earth copiously and there
Will be much mud and bother. Right
after that they are ready for a garden.
Have sunny spot fortified and
we'll dug. 1t is not fair to start
children filling the earth in spot
where while they may SOW immod-
erately they will never reap. That
is bad teaching. We want to give the
child a. love for the garden. and that

To celebate the list of April. let
us consider a fools cap party with
features that can be- adapted to
merry making at various sorts of en-
tertainments, whether held in the
daytime or the evening, and whether
indulged in by young folks or adults.
This day is one in which foolish
pranks are looked upon with leniency.
Partners for dinner or luncheon,
dance or game, may be found by
what appear to be paper bonbons that
match. There should be but two of
the identical color, and az the men
and women take from different trays
piled with the dainty things. match
ing for partners is easy. -
Fools Cap Bonbons.
The bonbons are simple fools caps
cut from tissue paper, having a fringe
OF contrasting color pasted along the
opening for the head and at the tip
for a tassel. They should be folded
to resemble bonbons. having fringe
at both ends. Bands Of notched gold
or silver paper should be wound about
the middle part, as is the case in
ether bonbons Of this type. Since
they appear to be what they are not,
guests have a pleasant April fool sur
prise on opening them. The caps
Harlequins A-HuntinS.
An interesting game that will tend
to make things lively is d. hunt for
more of the caps. The hostess should
tell the company that April Fool has
been so generous with his caps that
he needs fresh supply. She there
fore is asking the guests to see how
many they can find about the rooms.
The person getting the most will have
a reward, presumably offered by the
Harlequin himself. The hostess blows
the whistle in lieu of q horn. and the
hunt begins. AS a matter of fact, the
players find all sorts of paper things
done UP in the guise Of bonbons, but
on opening them no FOOLS cap is dis
covered, with single exception.
The hostess has hidden but one.
Other things may be fringed squares
or 'kerchiefs, long strips of tissue
with fringed ends for scarfs, etc.
Candy ax a Reward.
is awarded a box OF candy. On the
top of the box is a cardboard fools
cap instead OF a card. On this is
written:
Please take this boz with my regards
And with II suggestion:
Pass 1t around and let each guest
Have one piece for digestion.
Best wishes from April Fool"
The candy certainly looks most
tempting, but each piece is fax ed
knocked cranberries, tiny cucumber
pickles, slices Of raw potato, carrots,
turnip, beets and other vegetables, cut
into shapes resembling pieces of

HOW 1T STARTED
By JEAN NEWTON.
"A Pink Tea

1t is usually in masculine amusement
at this form of entertainment that we
hear the expression pink tea The
term carries with il the implication OF
froth and superficiality in the essen
TALLY feminine istitution that we call
the '"tea."
The origin Of the phrase is attributed
by Mrs. John King Van Rensselaer,, one
of the leading social arbiters of old New
York, to a newspaper reporter who
coined the expression in her own draw
ing room. AS she has chronicled the
story:
He came TO my house for a story
when I was giving a reception for my
sons-having no daughters to bring out
did not see why my sons should not be
introduced. The reporter en-
tered my drawing room. saw the pink
candle shades TO match the flowers, no
ticed the frosting OF the same color on
the cakes and exclaimed, see you are
giving a pink tea There was an ar
ticle in next mornings paper about my
pink tea"

Twenty-eight is the number de-

to Miss Briggs as they went up to

Miss Briggs flushed. She knew
that what Gloria meant was that If
she had had any sense' she would
have hurried to the house in cab
herself!
She bit her lip and said nothing.
When she opened the dor Of Dicks

Gloria saw now that she ought to

square thing to do!
But the whole affair had happened
so gradually. that she hadn't rea.
Lied that it had completely sepa-

But was it too late, after all, to
put Wayburn out of her life?

in the quiet room.
Gloria glanced at her wrist watch.
1t was 2:30. And 2 o'clock was the
time that she usually met Stan at
the corner for a drive or a hike
He was probably phoning to ask
why she had failed him.
Shall I answer the phone, honey?"
Dick asked.

rushed across the room like a small
whirlwind and took the instrument
from his hand.

her relief it was not STAINS voice
that answered.
This is Maggie, ma am" the grim
voice at the other end Of the wire
said. will you please go up to
the Methodist Hospital right away?
Dr. Seymour has just taken Mr.
Dicks mother there to operate on
her for appendicitis"
Dicks mother! Gloria could
scarcely believe her ears.
Mother Gregory with her bright
eyes and the blown roses in her
cheeks, was the last person in the
world who looked like a hospital
case.
Mr. Dicks father is out of town."
Maggie went on. And 1 do think
someone Of the family should be
at the hospital when they operate on
poor Mis- Gregory. Please don't
let Mr.. Dick know about it, ma am.
1t might kill him the way his heart
is, and all!'
"Of course, I won't" Gloria
snapped, as she hung up the re-
ceiver.
But how to keep Dick from know

question.
