=—• I F©r il!he_M®stess j Clb&ft on Topics of by «*, I I Recognized Authority I . -, .. An Unique Party. There are "novelties in entertain ment" at the seashore as well as in town, and this scheme of a New Jersey girl is one that "took" wonderfully. The affair was held on the broad piaz za surrounding the house that faced the grand old ocean. The invitations were for a "bottle" party; each guest was requested to bring a bottle (empty) any size or shape. Of course every one wondered what the result would be when the motley collection of bottles appeared on the table waiting to receive them. After a few moments spent in spec ulating as to the future of "those bot tles," the hostess brought in yard lengths of crepe paper of many colors, cotton, pins, odds and ends of ribbon, etc., and requested each guest to se lect a bottle and transform it into a doll; there was a supply of corks to use in forming heads, which were cov ered with cotton. A half hour was allowed to finish these creations; prizes were awarded for the best, worst and funniest. Next the hostess passed cards with pencils attached, numbered from 1 to 20; the guests were taken into a room in which stood 20 bottles, each bear ing a tag numbered from Ito 20. Yel low paper concealed the contents of the bottles, which were pill size up to gallons. One "sniff" or "whiff" was permitted, then the supposed contents were written down opposite the num ber on the card. Lavendar salts, bottles of cologne, and sachets were given as prizes. The next test was very pretty. Each guest was blindfolded and led around the room in which flowers were ar ranged in vases on mantel and tables. The one who recognized the most flow ers by the odor received a handsome nosegay surrounded by a frill of lace paper. The refreshments consisted of flow er forms made in ices and creams with dainty little cakes ornamented with candied rose and violet leaves. For a Children's Party. There have been so many requests for a children's party that I have made a special effort to get these pretty ideas for decorations, feeling sure that mothers could adapt for their own use the schemes suggested. Clown cakes will be much appreci ated by youthful guests; bake a sim ple cake mixture in small round muf fin pans. Frost some with white, some with chocolate, making eyes, nose and mouth of contrasting color. Around each put tiny frills of colored crepe paper and the cakes will look like funny faces beneath little bon nets. With these serve circus lemonade. Take large smooth skinned lemons, cut off one end, hollow out and place in ice water. Cut off black court plaster eyes, nose and mouth, dry the shells and paste these on in as gro tesque a manner as possible. Then make little dunce caps of red and white stiff paper, leaving a hole at the top to receive a straw; fill the cups Small Garments T—T /"7X Ftl' Tunic for Boy / \ Dress for GiH frotn 4to 0 & \ from 10 to 12 TI'NIC for Hoy from Four to Six Years. —This simple little tunic might be made in Holland, drill, or linen; either woijid be suitable and seasonable; it is quite plain, fastens down the front, and has a turned-down collar; a leather belt is worn just below the waist. Materials required: Two yards 42 inches wide. Dress for Girl from Eight to Ten Years. —Cherry red cashmere is used for this dress; the skirt is trimmed at the foot by three small tucks, "ffiic blouse, which resembles the sailor style, has the upper part cut in a shaped yoke, and the lower tucked and set to it; the tucks are only stitched down two inches; the sleeve is tucked a few inches at both ends and is set to a tucked wrist band. A sailor collar of spotted drill is worn; the tie matches it. Materials required: 2Vi yards cashmere 48 inches wide. Dress for Girl from Ten to Twelve Years.—This dainty little dress is in white lawn; the skirt is gathered at the waist and is trimmed at the foot by two rows of Valenciennes insertion; the bodice has a vest and sleeves ol tucked lawn and insertion arranged in stripes alternately; the sides of the bodice are plain lavm, so are the epaulettes, but they are edged with insertion and lace Materials required: Five yards lawn 42 Inches wide lVfe iloaen ijisertioj 2 yards lace. with lemonde, put on the caps, stick in the straws and they are ready to serve. For a centerpiece have a tiny tent, with miniature animals in a proces sion. At each child's plate have a wee tent of paper, a flag on it, with a rail fence of opera sticks around it. Under each tent have salted peanuts. Have striped paper bags filled with popcorn and the small guests will be perfectly delighted with the "circus" party. A Potato Supper. Church suppers have been and prob ably always will be a commercial as set in raising money. A "ladies' aid" society issued these catchy invita tions, which were printed in red o« common brown wrapping paper and scattered broadcast in the hotels and boarding houses of the seashore re sort, where summer visitors helped out largely in furnishing the where withal to run the little church Suring the long nine months of winter. I give the invitation so that our readers may cut it out for future use, as the scheme is adaptable for any time or place: A sociable noxt Friday night! Look down below, first left, then right, And you will see the "Bill-of-Fare" In English language written there: POTATOES HOT. POTATOES COLD, POTATOES NEW. POTATOES OLD. Some we will boil anil some we'll bake, And some serve In a hot loaf-cake; Potatoes also we'll prepare In brown croquettes as light as air. And some make up in griddle-cakes As nice as any French cook makes. And tlien dessert—for those who wish We will prepare some dainty dish, "Fit for the gods," you'll think, we know, Though mostly made of potato. This sociable is to be given Between the hours of four and seven. At Hall next Friday night. And one and all we here invite; Be sure to come; don't he afralrl. Your presence wiII—"TJIE LADIES AID." MADAME MEIIIII. IN f3f)UE Stylish shoes are highly arched. Striped effects rule supreme it skirtings. Many summer coats are lined with shantung. Sequins play a leadng part in faa decoration. Military straps are among the popu lar sleeve ■trimmings. The white lace veil is more widely worn than any other. Hats are larger now than they will be later in the season. Mohair is the favorite material for automobile dust coats. Pongee hats, matching pongee tumes, are smart just now. Walking costumes are a bit severe, with little trimming. Linen frocks with short skirts are popular for street wear. "Linden,'' a creamy yellow green, is a leading shade in uew dresses. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 26, 1909. TROUBLE IN ROYAL PALACE. Tidings Borne by Amateur Actor Suf ficient to Lead Hearers to Ex pect the Worst. The Shakespeare club of Now Or leans used to give amateur theatrical performances that were distinguished for the local prominence of the actors. Once a social celebrity, with a gor geous costume, as one of the lords in waiting, had only four words to say: "The queen has swooned." As ho stepped forward, his friends applauded vociferously. Bowing his thanks, he faced the king and said, in a high pitched voice: "The swoon has queened." There was a roar of laughter; but he waited patiently, and made an other attempt: "The sween has cooned." Again the walls trembled and the stage manager said, in a voice which could be heard all over the house: "Come off, you doggoned fool." Hut the ambitious amateur refused to surrender, and in a rasping fal setto, as he was assisted off the stage, he screamed: "The coon haa sweened." —Success Magazine.

Samuel Gompers was talking in the sniokeroom of the Baltic about a re cent .newspaper attack on a rich cor poration. "It was a cruel attack," Mr. Gom pers chuckled. "It was as cruel as the Jonesville Clarion's paragraph about old Deacon Hiram Ludlow. This paragraph headed the Clar ion's obituary column. It said: " 'Deacon Hiram Ludlow of Frisble township, aged 82, passed peacefully away on Thursday last from single blessedness to matrimonial bliss after a short but severe attack by Maria Higgins, a blooming widow of 37 sum mers.'

"Well," the boy replied between his sobs, "she objects to our family. She says pa's a loafer, that you're too fat and that everybody laughs at Dayse Mayme because she's a fool and talks about nothing but the greatness of her family." (Chauncey threw water in his mother's face, but at three o'clock this afternoon she was still in a swoon, with four doctors working on her.) —Atchison (Kan.) Globe. BAD DREAMS Caused by Coffee. "I have been a coffee drinker, mor« of less, ever since I can remember, un til a few months ago I became more and more nervous and irritable, and finally I could not sleep at night for I was horribly disturbed by dreams of all sorts and a species of distress j ing nightmare. "Finally, after hearing the expert | ence of numbers of friends who had quit coffee and were drinking Postum, ! and learning of the great benefits they had derived, I concluded coffee must bo the cause of my trouble, so I got some Postum and had it made strictly j according to directions. | "I was astonished at the flavour hnd i taste, it entirely took the place of cof j fee, and to my very great satisfaction, | I began to sleep peacefully and sweet | ly. My nerves improved, and I wish I could wean every man, woman and child from the unwholesome drug—or dinary coffee. "People really do not appreciate or realize what a powerful drug it is and what terrible effect it has on the hu man system. If they did, hardly a pound of it would be sold. I would never think of going back to coffee again. I would almost as soon think of putting my hand in a.fire after I had once been burned. "A young lady friend of ours had stomach trouble for a long time, and could not get well as long as she used coffee. She finally quit coffee and be gan the use of Postum and is now per fectly well.
