When the afternoon of the party arrived the guests hurried to Dick's, anxious to be on Urn (or th fun. Dick met them at th door and led them to the aid porch. '. "As It la a warm day." he aald. "we will have quiet party. I am going to ask you to use your brains instead of your test, and w can sit still for our fun." Then he handed each f uest ' blank card on which had been pasted a red. white and blue border. At the top ot the card were two questions: Which were th thirteen original States? By what person or company wat each founded?

It wai after their dip. aa they were playinr on the beach, that Dorothy looked at her arm and missed the cold bracelet. She waa so upset (or a minute she Just couldn't speak or move. Then sne aid: "Oh, lt'a cone!" jumped to her feet and ran as (aat aa she could to her mother. "So!" excjalmed Mildred, who had followed. "You've lost that too! Now you heard what I said ? Well. Just re- memner it, mat s all!" She went off very stiff and dlcnlfled. blinkinc hard to keep back the tear, but abe wasn't coin- to spoil the fun o( the others. So she went back to the sand castle they had been building. "We need wet sand," aald George Wallace. Tou and Mildred io dit sand." The two girls took their rails and spade down to the water'a ede. where the sand was cood and wet. Back to the catlp with full loads. Back and forth taw toiled. It was fun. One more load," said George, so off remembers the achool work best" When the division had been made and the two camps stationed at opposite ends of the porch were busy working out the answer to the questions a noisy time ensued. At the end ot twenty minutes Dick blew a whistle and time was called. The ramp hav ing the most correct answers to the questions received a point towards the grand prixe. For the next came each child re ceived a strip o( whit paper, down the eld of which were the following groups of letters: G. W.: J. A.: T. J.; J. M.; J. Q. A.; M. V. B.; W. H. H.: J. T.; J. K. p.; Z. T.: M. F.; f. p.: J. B.: A. L.; A. J.; U. 8. G.; R B. H.: J. A. G.; C. A. A.; G. C; B. H.; W. McK.; T. R.; W. T.; T. W. W.: W. G. H. The players were asked, to substitute (or each set of letter the full name of one of the presidents of the United States. After the game Dirk' mother served cooling Ices anl lemonade and cookies and by that time the cool eve ning had set In. and the party ended with a frolie on the lawn PUZZLE CORNER s To School-DAVS NOT FAR- awavJ -f Put The I'itvc Tocellurr And went Mildred alone with htr pall down to the water'a edge. She thrust in her spade and brought up a Qt of nice ooxy sand. Something clinked at she threw it Into her pail. A shell. she thought, and put her hand in to get It. It was something hard. Up she brought It. A bracelet! For a moment she thought It waa hers, but after washing it off In the salt water ahe saw It waa silver. "It's Dorothy's," she aald to herse.lt and began to run to her sister. Before she reached her, Mildred slowed down and thought: "Well, ahe lot mine n she ought to let me keep this." Dorothy saw her coming with tome thi.ig la ber band. "Oh. did you and It!" the cried. "I found yours," said Mildred, strolling up carelessly, "but finding's keeping, so I'm going to keep tu Be sides you lost mine." Dorothy hadn't a word to say, but Mother remarked: "Somebody might una your. Mildred." Mildred didn't think so. Why, the ocean waa ao big. and there was to much sand, a bracelet could be lost a thousand years before It was found! "Besides finding's keepings." She felt a kind of mean satisfaction aa she walked away, and Just as ahe was going past the prow of the fishing boat, near which her mother and sister were sitting she was startled by a strange dark girl who rose from the sand. Mildred thought she looked kind of lonesome, and being naturally good-hearted she said: "Hello!" But the stranger only stared rudely and went on about her business. Mildred saw her run over to a lady anting In a beach chair. "Shy. I guess." she thought, and went back to tne Wallaces. ' "Now. Mildred," said Grace Wallace, "lt'a youi turn to be the lady in die tress." "What am 1 to do?" the asked. "You atand inside the castle and when a wave comes near you cry help!' and we'll rescue you," QrCce explained. "But look out for George, bt's th angry Duke and awful rough, besides he's a tease, so dou't let him get hoid ef you." The others then all went away and hid. leaving Mildred alone in the castle. She stood there waiting for a wave when suddenly she felt some body poke her in the arm. She started around and thfere waa the lady she had ieen and the dark girl. "Give t, give It!" cried the lady, her dark eyes flashing. "Bad! . Thief! Naughty! Give It, I says!" . Mildred would have run away but the lady grabbed tier by the arm. "Help!" screamed the terrified child. Of course, the others thought It was all part of the game and came racing to the spqu They were very much surprised" at the sight which greeted them. "Bad!" cried the angry lady. "Give U!" ..... "I don't know what sobbed poor Mildred. ahe means! ( a MR.

' "You say 'Finding'a Keeping.' " and she mocked Mildred's airy man ner as ahe had made the remark to Dorothy behind the fishing boat. "Well, I can't give It to you." ahe said. ' "I cet the poleece!" exclaimed thi lady. "Thie(!" "Say. lady." George Wallace aald, "Mildred Isn't a thief." "Very Well." retorted the lady," then ahe give It now." "B but I can't!" objected Mildred. "It it Isn't mine." "A ha!" replied the lady ttsswIih ber head and shaking her (racer. "Then why have you It? Whose does any smaller, or I waa any bigger.

"I awlped tt from her Just (or (un." Thlefs! Thioft!" hissed the lady. "Give me my watch!" "Tour watch!" exclaimed, Mildred. In real surprise.

Many years ago men wore coats With lone tails that trailed 00 the ground when they walked, if speed or hurry waa necessary the long tails were In the way, so buttons were fas tened to the coat, and button holes were placed In the corners ot the tails that the long ends might be looped up and buttoned out of the way.
