h a 81 MABEL'SCHITCHAT The "Game" Garden Tea Latest Outdoor Social Amusement.. COMPETITION GREAT FUN. Naw Touch That May Bt Givtn to a Last Year' Belonging Wild Flowtr Garden Mad on a Half Dollar Scrap of Ground. Pear Klsa - Summer tea parties ar fascinating this season. K.verv NhIv j dances at these little gatherings much a I mean more than they drink ton. punch, etc. Tho other afternoon I 1 wont to a delightfully snappy"' (by the way, this ami "wonderful" tiro I lit slang words tliat are being worked overtime this summon ti'a served In the garden of a friend's home. It was given 1" honor 'f two girls who wiw staving In tlio house and w ho frankly ovv msl themselves "utter ly frivolous.'' "So I am giving a tea party to match." my hostess whis pered, as she linns round my nock a label bearing a larse number. "Just as if I a:n a motorcar or a thing at auction to ho knecki-d down to the highest M.l lor." 1 laughed. "That hist is more, or less what you are." Mrs. H. replied And. as a matter of f.iet. time proved t'lat 1 "as. So 1 carried off a very N-antiftil silver rse howl, which was the first prize for ladies. Hut 1 must explain the competition. It was 1'otli novel and original, and it Isn't easy to llnd these two qua'luVa tlons at "game" teas. Is It? After having l,v:i duly numbered eaeh guest was civ on a little card, with pencil attached, en which was written: "If you had to choose tie- j tvveeu Instant annihilation or mar rl a so, ' which girl (or mani in this room j would you take for your life partner? ; riease put ilovvu the number of the ! candidate you select. X. I!. It U against trie rules to vote for annihila tion." Each card bore the number of the person holding It. and It would surely have been discovered If guests voted for themselves, w hich of course would not be fair, since the lucky ow ner of the highest number of votes took first prize. What a mean Insinuation this Is, but it would spoil the appearance of the pace If I erased It, so let It go as an expose of my really truly self. To come back to the competition, a lot of pleasure was given to a dear old bachelor colonel of seventy three, who easily headed the men's poll and was presented with a charming leather blotter. The popularity of the girl who got the most number of Totes was easily accounted for because she was going to be married the next week, and the men felt they could vote for her without compromising themselves. Another story: If you have a summer parasol that needs rejuvenating try Katherlne L-'s latest scheme. You know how Kath erlne loves pretty things, and this para sol Idea of hers Is really worth while. The sunshade was originally a beau tifully embroidered one of white linen with a design of roses, and after care fully washing and bleaching the para Tlule she tUited the flowers In rose shades and the leaves with water colors. This gave an entirely new touch to a last year's belonging. Katherlne. the . Immaculate, as we call her, always uses a little water color paint the cor rect shade of yellow on the extension part of the soles of her russet shoes in order to keep them looking like new. " "h apologies to Mr. Klpilng-an- other story: I know how fond you are of wild flowers, so a garden I saw recently immediately suggested your bright bonny self to me. It was a wild flower garden, and, as the owner expressed It, she had made It from a si rap of ground "as large as a half dollar," and it certainly does blossom like a rose. "The best way to make your garden," said the woman who knew, "lg to transplant your flowers from the woods. It is almost Impossible to gather wild seeds. The wind and the birds get ahead of one. And the flor ists have very few of the seeds needed. Some of the vviid plants that come from bulbs can be procured from the nurseryman. Many of the violets and hepatienB, but practically all of tho plants, must be taken from the woods. "Begin your garden." -jominucd the flower enthusiast, "by transplanting a bit of the soil as well, for few of the flowers will thrive in ordinary garden soil. Dig out a space of fourteen or fifteen inches deep and till It with leaf mold and loam from the woods. If you can't do this mix a little sand and much fertilizer In with the garden soli if it Is heavy; if It Is light and sandy enrich it thoroughly with manure. "When the bed Is accomplished begin to transplant the flowers am) plants. In a moist, shady comer pile some stones. It is here thai the ferns and moss can be placed." This garden is going to lovely all summer, and I am sure the ndvlr-e is reliable. The results so far surely prove it In a most satisfactory wav. Why don't you start a garden of this sort on your half dollar plot? Time's up; so, with all good wishes and a pleasant month of roses for you all devotedly yours, MAREL. Sugar Rolls, The next time you are making rolls try putting a lump of sugar In the mid dle of eaeh before the last rising. When the rolls are baked the sugar will partly melt and will make a deli rious roll. HOMEMADE SCREENS. Easy For too Homo Carpenter to Con struct. Many people deprive themselves of tho comfort of acrceiu because tho bought screen is more or less expon Ive. Few things, on th contrary, are cheaHr If made at home. Apart from the protection from drafts which a -mn provide. Its presence Insure a decree of somlprl racy, and. not only Unit. It Is decidedly ornamental, a quality not to ho over looked when furnishing the living rooms for the iiiiiuier campaign. An ordinary clotheshorso It may be a two. three or four fold horse- la the framework, and It can be colored to taste with enamel paint. Art musllii Is very inexpensive, and this should be nailed along the top In full plaits, Icav- Ing a little beading, sis-tiring the lot torn ihIli1 111 the same way. A good i lan is to cover one side of the screen with plain or self color material and the other side with (l-imsl stuff. Tor example, the wooden frame may be painted a hrotiTo green; green mus lin in a pale shade would cover the In side of tile screen, while the outside might be a delicate pink and whlto muslin: pink figure on a white ground. To hide an empty grate In summer a small towel horse Is useful. It should be covered lu corresponding manner. but an eye to the general coloring of the room It will occupy Is essential. For the cost of $M a room enn lie fur nished with these convenient Adjuncts. The easel cabinet pictured Is a conven ient ploee of furniture that the home carpenter can make with little trouble. For holding prints and loose music It Is ideal. BRUSHES AND BROOMS. Thas Household Necessities Repay Owner For Intelligent Car. Brushes and brooms repay their own er for systematic and Intelligent rare. For one thing, they ought always to be hung on a door or wall. Instead of being leaned against a wall. Hanging keeps the bristles even and straight A stout cord can lie tied tightly about the handle of the brush or broom or else It can be run through a hole bored In the handle with a gimlet, and the brush or broom can be hung by means of this cord to a hook or nail fastened In a door, wall or under pnrt of a shelf. Brooms should be washed frequently whenever they are soiled or full of dust In hot soapsuds until they are clean and then rinsed In clear, hot water. They should then be dried thoroughly. In the sunshine If possible, before they are used again. Washing helps to lengthen the life of both brooms and brushes. Several bags of different materials and shapes make an ordinary broom useful for many different things. A big, square canton flannel bag can be slipped over the broom and tied In place by the drawstrings In the top of the bag when the broom Is to lie used on oiled or polished floors. The broom will wear for a longer time If the bag Is finished with a ruffle Inserted be tween the sonm. The ruffle, besides keeping the' broom from wearing Ir regularly at the ifirners. lengthens the life of the bag by keeping the broom corners from pushing through the bag so quickly. Moreover, a broom dressed In a bag of this sort will go Into cracks and corners more easily than one in a plain bag. KITCHENETTES. To )eop white enamelware from dis coloring make a strong solution of bak ing soda and rainwater and put the utensils In It and boil them hard. They w ill be as white us new. . To prevent strawberries and other fruits you can from forming mold put a layer of absorbent cotton In the month of each Jar or can. Any mold that may form will cling to the cotton, leaving the fruit clean. An excellent celery sen soiling may be made at home. Oet 5 cents' worth of celery seed, run It through the finest knife of the grinder or break it In a mortar; mix with about ten times Its bulk of table salt and bottle. Now Is the time when housewives should be thinking about a stock of herbs for winter use. The best plan Is to dry the cut herbs in the sun, the plants being laid on sheets of paper or on trays. When this Is not possible they may be drlnd in front of the Are or In tue oven. When a recipe orders cream to be added to a soup nnd you have only mlik. brealr up one egg to every cupful of boiled but cooled down milk. Strain the milk. Add one tablespoonful of butter and then ndd tho whole to the cooled down soup; stir, bring to a boll, and serve when ready. i ft m ! j ) -f . -A.S , fas! t, c.viun i.r i or.

A Little Sympathy, The artist I'eler of Cortona was en gaged on a picture for the royal palace of i'etti, ami Ferdinand II. greatly ad mired his representation of a weeping child. "Has your majesty," said the paint er, "a mind to see how easy It la to make this child of mine laugh?" Ills majesty shook his head In the ailirmallve; then the artist merely touched the corners of the II), s and the inner extremities of the eyebrows, when the little un hln on tho canvas seemed In danger of bursting his side with laughter where the moment be fore beseemed breaking bis heart with weeping. "You accomplished that with a touch!" cried the king. "Von enn do the same with your sub jects," retorted tho artist. "With a little sympathy you can do as I did with my brush." Helen's Descent. "Helen," said a certain mother to her little girl, who had noisily entered the room where she was entertaining call ers. "I am surprised at you. You came downstairs so heavily that you could be heard all over the house. Now, go back and come down again like a little lady." After the lapse of a few silent mo ments Helen reappeared. "Did you hear me como downstair that time, mother?" "No, di;ar: you did beaullfully. Now, In tho future always come downstairs that way. Tell the Indies how yon managed to come down so quietly." "Oh." was the nonchalant though re spectful answer, '"ihe last time I slid down the banister rail." f s . A t w - ' " -Am. J AN ASPARAGUS TIP. Try Thla Vary Satisfactory Way Cooking This Vagotablo.

An elllclisit housewife recently said she always uses separate dishes for tho laying away of food In Ihe Icebox While enameled small bowls and plates are used nnd give the icebox a much neater appearance than a mixed army of bowls nnd platters. More Important, she tlnds thnl It Is a bad habit to use good dishes In the Icebox, ns they so frequently become chipped from over lapping or crowding. When she wanted to use her cake bowl, for example, she said, she al ways found It full of npplo sauce or something and so lost time emptying it. ho she decided to keep these sepa rate white enamel pieces Just for lay away use. Whipped Cream Substitute. Whipped cream 011 strawberry short enke Is delicious, but Ihe cream is not always obtainable when wanted and Ik -'ostly.
