Appropriate Refreshments

Of course, the refreshments ought
to be simple, in keeping with the
ideas of Mr.. Franklin. The sausage
Fanchonettes with simple salad, tea
and a gelatine dessert will make a
substantial and nice luncheon. Dishes
of sailed peanuts and spice drops may
be on the table.
AS for the entertainment: Games
which are out of the ordinary are
much fun. Sheets of paper headed
with the name Benjamin Franklin
may be passed to the guests and, in
a given period each one makes a list
of all the words he can form by using
just the letters in these two. A small
dictionary makes a nice prize for this
contest.
Another game might be the listing
of various electrical devices. You will
be surprised at the great number
there really are and how few many OF
the contestants can name in given
time. A fashlight may be the trophy
for the longest list.

Paris.-Every once in a while a
travelling salesman or some other for
tunate person bites on pearl while
eating oysters, but it remained for a
chambermaid in a Paris hotel to bite
on a $4,000, 900 diamond.
The, maid whose name seems to
have been overlooked in the scramble,
was munching ON luscious apple
found in the room of an absent guest
when she nearly broke tooth. A large
brilliant stone of rose tint had been
concealed in the fruit. She took it
to policeman, and then came the rev.
elation that the "Grand Conde," stolen
from the museum of the Due d'Aum-
ale's chateau in Chantilly in October
had been recovered.
Leon Kauffer, the careless guest
who left the apple in an open valise
for the modern Eve to find, is now a
guest of the police, with Emile Souter
and two ether gentlemen described as
fences" of stolen property.

January, unlike its sister, Febru-

birthdays. 1t has one, though, the
seventeenth, which makes up in great
ness for the lack of others. This is
the anniversary of the birth of Ben
jamin Franklin, the discoverer of cleo
tricity, the writer of Poor Richards
Almanac and founder of the Saturday
Evening Post
Many of us like to celebrate the
great mans memory for that reason
alone and others of us have birthdays
of our own on or near that date and
like to use the Franklin theme" in
the parties.

zigzag pieces of black paper, to rep

FlOwers-the Year Round.

1t used to be that the winter season
was fowerless but for quite time,
now, flowers have blossomed the year
round on coats and frocks; so that we
are never without their freshness.
Starting from tiny clusters and sim
gle buds in button holes and at the
waist they have grown and risen in
position until, now, chrysanthemums,
not one, but two, of contrasting col
ors, occupy a place of honor on the
sleek shoulder of luxurious cloak or
soft gown f. Although these shaggy
flowers are probably the most popu-
lar, large roses, orchids, nasturtiums
and carnations are seen on the Shout
ders of stylishly gowned women.
