It was thought sufticient to clear a large room and let them Indulge In the Old faahlooed games of blind man a buff, poetoftice. family coach, hunt the slipper, magic music, musical chain and such like merry and romping games, which, with a good tea and Kir Roger de Corarley danced afterward, was supposed to form a delightful entertainment. But now al) this is changed, romping games are put ou one sida The little boye and girls of the present day are too well dressed to risk tearing their Watty clotbea Children's parties are miniature copies of those of older people, with the exception that some form is adopted, either a Christmas tree, a bran pie, or any other vehicle for the distribution of presents, that each little one may hare some thing to take bona When al) the little guests are arrived they are generally enter tained first with either a Punch and Judy show, marionettes, a children's play, magic lantern or some quiet amusement of that sort. After tea dancing to resorted to, and the Christmas tree or its substitute ends the evening. Children like novelty, and auy new form of entertainment is eagerly welcomed. Parties for young people should never be lengthy affairs, as it is un[Mjasible to keep them amused and happy for long together, and early hours are most dteirabie, after noon parties from 8 till 7 or 4 to b being far more sensible than later hours, when the eagerness of expectation tires a child before the fun commences. Refreshments at a juvenile party should be simple, but a num ber of bonbons and crackers should always be provided. It is a mistake to give children elaborate suppers before they leave to go home, often disagreeing with them and mak ing them ill the next day. lemonade and cakes and sandwiches are quite sufficient and far better for them. There to no prettier sight than to see a number of prettily dressed children assem bled together, and of late it has iieen much the fashion to adopt fancy dresses at juveuile liarties, when the little ones wear much the same costumes. On a smaller scale, as are adopted by older people, and much amuse ment is" caused by inspecting the various dresses and characters represented. Juve nile parties have a good tendeucy in forming children’s manners, causing them to be po lite to each other and to take an interest in each other's pleasures and in affairs beyond their own family circle.—4jondoQ Queen.

Boon tbe two were eugaged in a ooaversation which brought forth tba obeervstlon made above. “No," he continued, “a peddler is naturally a good peddler, and no amount .ot training or trying will make a good on. of a man who hasn’t It in him. On the other (land, a good peddler Is generally good for nothing else on earth. Let him try to stop peddling for any other business and the cbancoa are ten to one that he’ll make a fizzle ot it" MADK A SUCCESS. . “Now, I am a bom peddler, and at peddling I have at last made a success, where in all things that I tried before I tailed. I went to school until I was 18, and since then—that’s twelve years ago—I have been successively a lawyer's clerk, bookkeeper in an importing bouse, clerk in a dry goods store, driver of a delivery wagon, car driver, elevated railroad guard, waiter and peddler. It's four years since I found my true vocation, and I’ve done pretty well.” “Does a good peddler make much money!” the reporter asked guardedly. “Well, that depend. Now, I average (30 a week. Borne, a few, make more, but the majority make less. Anybody that's a good peddler, though, should be able to make *25 a week without any trouble and be able to go out on Sunday for a good time." “What characteristics must a good peddlor possess^’’ “Oh, a great many. Self-confidence, or ’cheek,' as it to called, is tbe most essential. Without it no peddler ever peddled with, success. But too much of it to even more fatal Tor hto prosperity, for in addition to failure he often gets a broken head. No, he must have self-confidence, but not too much —just enough, you know. Then he must bo a character reader—know just to whom he can sell and whom not, who will stand a stiff price and who must be offered the goods at cut rates. •‘To be a good peddler you must also have a firm, yet gentle disposition. You must al low nothing to deter you when you see a per son to whom you feel you can sell. No mat ter what he or she says, you most persevere. This is where the firmness comes in. The gentleness is necessary, so that you may, un der no circumstances, lose your temper. It doesn’t pay. If the door is slammed in your face, swearing will onlymake matters worse. Tbe people next cfoor will only laugh at you. No, you must preserve a dignified silence and smile indulgently as you turn away. Then you can sell to the neighbor. Her sym pathy will be aroused, and by patronizing you she thinks she can administer a rebuke to the unmannerly woman next door and shine by comparison.” Literature IllustratiMk Not a Charade.

There are two or three companies now en gaged in getting up memorial cards. You order them, like valentines, by numbers. The poetry is already written, not by great poets.

You tend on and tell the company what num ber you want, and they print the name of the deceased and the verse on the memorial card, and send it to you with a sympathetic circular and price List.
