For a Washington Party. Decorate the house and table witb red, white and blue and place prints of George and Martha Washington where all can see them. To each guest give a little board and a ball of putty soft enough to be worked, with instructions that the busts of George and Martha Washington are to be modeled from the putty in a given time. When the time is np the putty portraits are to be numbered and placed on exhibition, and the guests vote on the best one. .the number re ceiving the largest number of votes to determine the prize winner. The hoys are then given sticks of wood and jackknives with which to whittle out hatchets. The girls are given black paper and scissors with which to cut silhouettes of Martha Washing ton. Later the silhouettes of Martha Washington are auctioned off to tht boys, and each boy takes to supper the girl 'who made the Martha Washing ton which he bid in. He presents his, wooden hatchet to his Supper partuer. The supper table is decorated with patriotic colors, and the menus should be hatchet shaped. After supper George and Martha may appear in costume and hold an old fashioned White House reception. The Flag at Trenton. The flag "that Washington had with him when he crossed the Delaware tt attack Trenton" was not the "stiii and stripes." Washington crossed the Delaware in December, 177. aud the stars and stripes did not have an ex istence until the June of 1777, when it was voted into being by the con gress. The flag that waved over Jen eral Washington on his way to and from Trenton consisted of thirteen stripes, alternate red and white, as nt present, with a blue canton emblazon ed with the crosses of St George and St. Andrew, as in the British flag. The first time the present stars and stripes were flung to the breeze was on the day of the battle of Orlskuny. at Fort Stanwix, Aug. 6, 1777. New York American. Washington's Birthday. v While Feb. 22 must forever be chiefly associated in the minds" of patriotic Americans with the birthday of the Father of His Country, that momen tous event is not the only one of im portance recorded under this date in the annals of history. Nevertheless it overshadows any of the other incidents and episodes with which the historian or the biographer has been called upon to deal. Benjamin, Ogle, a lifelong friend of Washington and governor of Maryland from 1798 to 1801. was the first to sug gest the birthday of Washington" as a holiday. Washington and the Children.

Hope Marshall, was bending over the fire peering into a steaming kettle of corn dumplings At one end of the room was a square' table covered with a homespun cloth and set with blue and white china The windows were wide open, for it was August, apd : the weather was warm. There were the buzzing of bees in the honeysuckle vines outside and the song of birds from the nearby or chard. ; ' .-' " ' - As Hope leaned against the window sash listening to the bees and birds a quick : step sounded on the pebbled path and there came into view Mary Baldwin, Tenny's mother. The color deepened -in Hope's cheeks. She had heard of Tenny's visit home the night before. " - ' ;- "Well, Hope, my girl." said; Mrs. Baldwin briskly as she entered the room and sank down in. a rush bot tomed -chair near the open ioor. "din ner well under way?" ' ' "Yes, Aunt. Mary. Won't you stay and eat some of my corn dumplings?" "Not today, thank you. I came to say that Tenny is home for a few hours, and we want you to come over and eat dinner with us. I saw Oba diali down in the field and bade him come too." "I'm afraid Cousin Tenny wouldn't enjoy it," said Hope coldly. "He knows my sympathies are not witb the Continentals." Dame Baldwin ruffled immediately. "Not in sympathy, indeed, minx!" she cried. "What are you but the obedi ent niece of a Whig?" "1 am a Tory," was Hope's obstinate reply. " : ' "Then it pleases me as well that you do not come, "for my boy. is growing too fond of you. Mistress Hope Mar- HIS HAND FIiEW TO HIS SUol shall. As a Tory maiden I could nev er make you welcome as my son's wife." -' "What, Hope! Not going to dine at your aunt's?" asked her Uncle Oba diah sternly as he enteredthe kitchen "I would rather not. Uncle Oba diah." pieuJed Hope. . "What silly excuse have you now?" Hope's blue eyes lifted reluctantly until they met his honest gray . ones. Suddenly her face broke into a smile, and she kissed him on his ruddj cheek. "Please don't ask me to go, uncle." she pleaded. Obadiah broke into a chuckle. "Verj well, Hope, my dear." Obadiah made a few changes in hia dress, and, with a grave kiss on the Hps of his beloved niece and adopted daughter, he went away. He listened to Hope's political opinions much as he'would have looked upon the gam bol of a playful kitten. Nevertheless, he was grieved and Incensed at the girl's obstinacy concerning them. He believed that it was a veil to hide her coldness for Tenny Baldwin. - Hope bolted the back door after his departure and then sat down to her delayed dinner. . All at once she paused and listened. Up through the orchard came the pound of horse's feet and in another moment they were plainly heard in the back dooryard There came a rap topon the kitchen door. Hope went to the window. A horse man was there, a man wrapped in a long dark cloak with a dark cocked hat on his powdered wig. "Good day. fair mlstressr" he smiled down at her. "Will you give me a drink of water and please tell me if I am on the right road to the camp of the American army?"- ,. Hope courtesied and brought the wa ter in a large glass goblet As he quaffed It gratefully she thought rap idly. This man was not of. the Amer leans; that she could guess by his air of nobility and grace of manner. He most be a Britisher perhaps a titled officer who did not consider if beneath ' bis rank to spy up. tn. movements of the enemy. : '- ;: "I am a Tory," Hofte repeated to her self, but somehow the words that must set him on the right road to the ene my's path would not come to her lips. The only thing she could think or at that niomeut was that this stranger was Tenny Baldwin's enemy. "I cannot direct you. sir," .she said, with pale lips. "That is too bad. fc.r 1 am tired arid hungry." he said, with a winning smile. "1 wonder If your Ittrder is quite empty?" ... . ; "No. indeed, sir; you are qnit vef come to the best we have,", assured Hope, feeling traitorous indeed to eu tertain the enemy in her uncle's house. What if Obadiah should return ere the stranger tfad departed! "I , must tell you that my uncle is an. ardent Whig," she said as he dis mounted. . . . "So much the betier!" he cried heart ily and followed the silent Hope into the. great kitchen. - While she fried more bacon and bak ed a johnnycake before the stjll glow ing coals the stranger, still wrapped in his cloak despite the heat of the day, scanned a package of papers with knit ted brow. V At last he sat down to the best meal Hope could prepare at short , notice, and., having made friends with Wolf, he ate hungrily. ' . -. Hope slipped from the room and out of the little dsed front door. She went down the road with flying feet and ran straight into. the arms of her cous in, Tenny Baldwin, who was strolling toward her. r . ." - . ' "Well, fair cousin." he cried teasing ly, subduing the lovelight in his tine eyes, "have you changed your mind about dining with us today?" "No. no. Cousin TennyJ I have eat en dinner, but 1 have something to ell you." Hope was breathiag quickly, and a delicate-color came and went in her cheeks as she withdrew herself from his grasp and smoothed her ruf fled hair. - '"Coxae ta tell me goodby, Hope?" be asked gently. "1 may never come back to bother you." 4; .1; . ! l-. ; "Nay, Tenny; you have never both ered me," she assured him with a troubled look in her eyes. "11 you know I am a Tory at heart." - There was a quizzical look in his eyes. -"1 know thou sayest so, Hope." he said gravely. "I am not afraid of Tories." . ' "There Is a British officer eating in onr kitchen this very minute. He asked me the way to the American lines, but I wonld not tell htm." . "Then you are a traitor to your own cause. Hope." "Somehow I couldn't tell him that. Cousin Tenny. And it does not aeem loyal t Uncle Obadiah and you to en tertain him there in uncle's house, so I came to tell you." . - "Thank you. dear," said Tenny so berly. "Stay you here. Hope, and tell my mother I will return shortly." He hastened nptbe road toward Ohndiah's house. . - Hope was after" him in an instant. "Iam going with -you. Tenny V she cried, keeping pace with , his rapid stride. "4.-. , "But Hope, there may be blood shed," he protested, touching., his sword.- .' "Then you will need me the more," she said valiantly, and he made no further objection. The stranger's horse still cropped the grass in the dooryard as Hope led the way through the front-door. There was the" tinkle .. of china from the kitchen. "He is still there," whispered Hope, opening the' door into the room the merest trifle.- ; Tenny Baldwin stood' beside her and applied his eye to the same crack. He uttered a sudden exclamation, opened the door wider and entered the room boldly. " The stranger rose quickly, and his hand flew to 'his sword. His look of stern inquiry changed to one of pleas ant recognition as Tenny Baldwin .re spectfully saluted him. . . "Ah. Captain Baldwin!" cried the stranger, holding out his hand.' "Your excellency!" murmured Tenny Baldwin, for indeed 1t was the com mander in chief of the American army. Hope Marshall" leaned against the wall in the shadows, half frightened, half relieved at the situation. As she listened to the murmur of their voices and realized that the stranger was none otheT than ; the great !eneral Washington, come down to overlook his forces on Long Island, a revulsion of feeling came to her. These men. her Cousin Tenny and ' Washington, were fighting for their lives, for the lives of their dear ones, , for liberty, for ultimate peace. She chided herself for an ignorant girl a graceless one indeed to have flung her Tory defi ance in the faces of her kinspeople. - At that instant Hope Marshall turn ed traitor to the Tory cause, and her traitor heart ' leaped gladly as he thought that she need offer n oppo sition to Tenny Baldwin's love. - Tenny Baldwin bad explained the Situation to General Washington, and es they laughed he brought forward Hope Marshall. t "This is my fair Tory cousin, your excellency." he said, smiling gravely. "Nay. I am no longer n Tory. -your your excellency." stammered Hope, her cheeks aflame. "I have turned traitor to my. own cause." ' "Indeed?" asked the general with a kind smile as he held her little hand. "May I ask why you have turned trai tor r , Involuntarily Hope's eyes turned to those of her handsome Cousin Tenny. "Oh. because"- - '" 'Tis a most proper reason ! teased the general, discreetly turning his back while Tenny took swift toll from his cousin's tender lips. - Bashful. ; ; Nellie Is that fellow of yours ever going to get np the courage . to pro pose?

Scott (By H .W. Kanne.) As we seldom, or ever, see any mention of East Mt. Scott, (common ly known as Happy Hollow), I will endeavor to show to the readers of The Enterprise that we are wide awake, up and doing. " - We are situated in the northern part of Clackamas county, nine miles southeast of Portland's city hall, or about three miles from the city limits, on and just over the famous Mt. Scott hill. The district comprises about two square miles, lying partly in the val ley and partly on the slope of the hills, by which it is surrounded on all sides. The soil is of a black nature, very, loose, without gravel or - rock, the hardpan being about four feet down. It ; is very easy to work when and cleared and very productive. Our main crops are fruity potatoes, hay and grain and each farmer has from three to five cows. ' The farms consist mostly of from fifteen to forty acres, with from three to six acres in berries, such straw berries, raspberries, blackberries, etc., and about a like number of acres in orchard, mainly cherries, pears, ap ples and plums and the rest of the farm under cultivation is devoted to raising hay, grain potatoes and gard en truck. '.' The land is" valued at from $250 to $400 per acre, which is cheaper than any other place a like distance from Portland. . ' - The farms at one time being heavy timber and brush but were cleared and built up mostly by their present own ers, who are a lot of honest, hard working people, peaceful and law abiding. We have a fine school, centrally lo cated, and also a fine church which is well attended by the community. We have two main Toads out of the valley, one leading northwesterly to Lents and the . other north to what is known as the Foster road; also one leading to Sunnyside, one and a half miles south. . Our roads are being improved rap idly and it will be only a matter of a few years until all of our roads will be. graveled. We have formed a road district and so are enabled to help ourselves in this matter. Now anyone looking for a nice quiet place to live can find it here. Come and investigate before buying else where. . We can show you as fine a place to live- as anywhere, a place where nearly everybody is out of debt, where everything is tip-top, and every body making a comfortable living and then some. - - - ' Come see and be convinced.

NOVEL STEPS TO BE BIG DANCE FEATURE Invitations are being issued for a valentine dancing party to be given at Busch's Hall, , Wednesday evening ( February 14, by R. V. D. Johnston and the Philharmonic Orchestra of this city, which no doubt will be one of the most enjoyable events ever given in this city. There will be many surprises In store for those at tending.

The hall will be gaily decorated for the occasion as it. never was before ,and the floor managers will be well known young men of this city who will see that all attending will have "the time of their lives," even if you are a stranger. Among the dances to be enjoyed during the evening will be the Paul Jones, tag two-step and many other dances. The ladies will during the evening have a chance to "get even" with the men, and will have several ladies' choices during the eve'ning, and this is to let the men know how it feels to be a "wallflower" adorning the wall. From the present indica tions there will be no wallflowers as all those receiving invitations are planning to attend. There will prob ably be an even number of. dancers. R. V. D. Johnston who is probably the best musical director that Oregon City has ever had, and the manage ment of the orchestra and band of this city is winning for him much praise.
