I asked the menagerie proprietor.
“ We avail ourselves of an expe­

“ An experienced baggage man?” I

"Yes." he explained patiently, al­

Jf the farmers were doing everything
possible to fight nature and when we
make a study of the various grasses
and their peculiar needs we wonder
that we have been succeeding as well
as we have in growing good crops of
hay. A careful study of the English
system of maintaining a permanent
meadow and pasture would essentially
aid us In the management of our
grass lands. There we may find from
ten to twenty kinds of grass growing
on one sod and all thriving and pro­
ducing hay and forage.

The extensive use of tomatoes as an
article of food has caused many In­
quiries to be made as to their food
value. The nutriment present In to­
matoes In the largest amount Is sugar,
while the organic acids are the main
substances which give Individuality or
character. In tables of analysis toma­
toes are given as containing from 92
to 95 per cent, water, 45 per cent ash.

Games for Children.
A young mother said to me the oth­
er day: “ Your department Is fine and
I often find just what I want, but can
you help me out with new games for
the children?"
During vacation It seems that the
what-to-do question frequently comes
up for mother to solve. I hope the
following pastimes will prove Interest­
ing, and make loads of fun for the
youngsters. The first Is called Hu­
man Nine Pins. The boys are set up
Just like nine pins at the end of the
room or on the lawn; they stand on
one foot (left one), with the right one
placed behind the left knee, arms fold­
ed. The girls roll the ball, taking
turns. When the ball Is rolled they
may hop aside to escape being
touched; but if the ball touches them
or they put down the other foot, they
are supposed to be knocked down and
out. This continues Just like the real
game, a score being kept and prizes
awarded
Young children love this game:
Take barrel hoops and wind them with
gay ribbons or crepe paper, suspend
a small bell In the center. Hang the
hoop up and give each guest a small
bean bag the same color as the hoop
The alin Is to ring the bell when
thrown through the hoop Five trials
are allowed, the one who rings the
most out of the five Is given a re­
ward.
,
A little game called “ Royalty” needs
an equal number of girls and boys.
One boy Is chosen “ king” and a girl
as “ queen.” Then they sit In two
rows facing each other. Bach follow­
er Is numbered. At the same moment
the king and queen calls a number,
the two players bearing the numbers
get up and run around the circle, the
queen after the king’s follower. If she
catches him before he completes the
circle he pay3 forfeit; If she does not
the king’s subject collects a tribute
from her. When all the numbers have
been called the game Is finished.
Bridal Functions and Favors,
A bride who had belonged to a
needle club for years, gave a dinner to
her maids, asking the men to an In­
formal dance afterward.
She had
chosen baby blue for the wedding col­
or scheme, so the table centerpiece
was a glided basket filled with bride’s
roses; a huge bow of blue ribbon was
tied to the handle, falling In graceful
folds around the basket. At each place
was a pale blue velvet Jeweler's box
which, on being opened, disclosed gold
thimbles engraved with the Initials ol
each girl. The place cards were tin?
picture frames made of blue satin rit
bon forget-me-nots. Inclosing sna[
shots of the bride and groom. Anoth
er bride, who had planned a green
wedding, gave her maids favors set
with jade, each one different; there
were hat pins, sleeve links, stickpins,
etc. The table centerpiece was ol
maidenhair ferns In a low glass bowl
At'each place there were Individual
glass candlesticks twined with aspara
gus vine. Every one wore white amt
the effect was cool and lovely.
The Practical Shower.
A young woman much beloved In
her neighborhood, was to be married,
and this delightful shower was ar­
ranged: She had grown up from baby­
hood on the same street, and one of
her mother's friends suggested that
the neighbors contribute the price of
a dozen napkins and tablecloth. Then
they had a thimble party and the
linen was hemmed and monogramed.
The bride was perfectly delighted. Try
this when planning a "linen" shower.
It was no more costly than for each
guest to give a separate bit of linen.
The same Idea has been carried ">ut in
sheets and pillow cases, also towels.
1^ the way, at afternoon affairs ginger
lemonade Is qulta the thing with tiny
fancy crackers or biscuit, as our Eng­
lish cousins call them.

A beautiful lamp mat of oriental
appearance caught my eye in a
friend’s house, says a writer in the
Boston Herald. “ Of what Is that
made?” I asked. “ Oh,” she answered.
“ I made that myself. It Is paper
aloyd.”
And this Is how It Is done: You
will need heavy brown wrapping pa
t
o
fr
per, old dimity or lawn from worn-
out curtains (or some like soft mate­
rial) and two kinds of wall paper,
one with a plain,- striped or chained
background and one with large con­
ventional or flower design In a con­
trasting color.
Cut out the background paper In
the shape and form desired, applique
on It the figures cut from the other
paper In regular pattern, line with
the dimity and paste a double layer
of the wrapping paper over the back
It is all very simple, but a little taste
and Ingenuity will devise all sorts ol
quaint and unusual articles.
The lamp mat Is perhaps the easi­
est to make; the one shown In the
drawing was in wistaria design over
silver paper. The edges may be bound
with narrow passepartout tape of
the required shade, but careful past­
ing is really all that Is necessary.
The cottage jardiniere is made to
M E H R I.
Sashes are with us again In glorious
array.
Tulle and Irish lace are frequently
combined.
Fewer turbans are seen as the sea
son advances.
Skirts for evening dresses are some­
what fuller.
The latest hosiery shows more elab­
orate patterns.
Of suede and stamped leather bags
there Is on end.
Jabots of net and lace are often
stenciled In color.
Some of the new linen frocks are
embroidered In Japanese colors nnd
designs.
Linen suits are In old blue, mustard,
raisin, brown, green, catawba and lav­
ender.
For evening wear there is a return
of colored Irish lace, dyed to match
the gown.
