Party Suggeations
To the EJitor of Woman' J"aff:
Pear Madam Kindly print the a newer to the
following queatlona In your paper at the earlleat
date poaalble:
1. What gamea are advlaabla to play at a
party for bova and glrla from eighteen to twenty
two year of age? '
2. What are the neceeiary refreabmenta to
be eerved!
at'iucP.'S..10" 1"""" a,n" "- 'S?Tr
1. A very cood name Is called "Audacious
Authors." It Is uomo amusing- nonsense In
tht form ot puna on tho names of various
authors, t your friends are at all bookish
you might liuvu fun In this way, 1 will
quota you an example of what I mean:
"What mado Itlder Hasa'ardT'' "Ho saw
Marlon Evans Cross," And another; "Why
was John Luther Lonh-T" "His urog-ress was
Impeded by a Dunyan."
Charades, though old, are always good
fun for yountr people. Take a word of
threo or four syllables or oven two, such as
"Schuylkill." Th first syllable Is "school"
This Is easy t depict In pantomime, as Is
tha word "kllL" Then the word must ba
actd In full before the spectators guess It.
For charades the guests should be separated
Into two sides; one to act and one to watch.
Ajt the watchers guess the word correctly
they change places with the actors, Thero
are many progressive card games boyj nnd
girls of this age can play, I
U JJght refreshments, such as sand
wiches, salads, coffee, chocolate, Ices, cakes
and candles are suitable.
3. It Is never advlsabla to play a kissing
came, at partita for men and BlrU at (his
age. Of course. It Is alt fun, but it leads to
too much familiarity. ,

MY MARRIED LIFE
By ADELE GARRISON
"flow Madge and Dicky Sato Putnam House"
"TTTEMi! Why don't you ray '1 told
YV you sot
Dicky growled out the words after he
had taken n long, eloquent look nt the sign
"Per Hent. Caretaker will show the house."
which decorated the front entrance of Put
nam Manor.
I did not ntwwer him. In the first place.
I was too tired nnd hungry after our lone
tramp to do nnythlng moro than stars at
tho deserted Inn. JJIcky had told me o
milih nf Ife afAttnf mMiti and the W0n
derful Silcturesqueness fit Its Interior that
I was Woefully disappointed at finding It
closed.
'flo on. Why don't you say lit" .pie'tr
appeared bent on taking his own Irritation
out on me When wo had started for our
long tramp from Marvin, tho llttl" station
to whloh we had com for n long day In
tho country, I had begged Dicky to Inquire
whether or not Putnam Manor was open.
Hut, manlike, ho had mado fun of my In
sistence nnd refused to make ruiy in
qiilry, saing tho Inn had Been open every
winter for years. And now, tired nnd
r.-tenous;y hungry, we faced a sign, tor
Itcnt," Instead of the chicken nnd seafood
meal which Dicky had so'glowlngly de
scribed during our walk.
"I don't think there Is anything for mo
to Bay," I replied quietly. I have alwnys
prided myself upon being a woman who
would not say "I told you so," no mntter
how great provocation I had.
''Oh, no, there's nothing for you to say,
but you stand there with that martyr-at-the-stnko
look on your fnco roftcctlng on
how different eerythlng would have been
If 1 only had token your advice. I'd much
rather you'd rao around nnd call a few
names."
"Don't you think you nro n trlflo unrea
sonable, Dicky? I am nu hungry nnd dis
appointed as you are. If I reproaclieu you
because you would not Inqulro about this
placo this morning you certainty would bo
angry. P.ccnua I nny nothing you nre an
nocd. If jou will kindly toll mo Just
what to do I will do It."
I suppose my last words were not cal
culated to soothe Dicky. Ho gn a short,
dlragrocablo laugh and turned nway.
"Ka uso standing horo," he growled
"Might as well go back to tho station nnd
get tha train ta tho city."
"Dicky" t said nnhast. "Why, It Is only
a few mlnutc'i after twelve. Wo hnve tho
whole afternoon. Surely thero must bo
somo plnre around here where wo can get
something to oat?" .
"I don't know of a plnco," ho returned,
but evidently my eagerness to stay and
nnlsh our day moinrtod him, for he dropped
his unpleasant manne'r.
"Would you llko to look nround tho old
sliaclc now you nro horo?" he asked. "I
seo It's for rale as woll os for rent, and If
It's sold, of course the vandals tnni Duy it
will tear tho old housa down nnd split up
tho land Into building lots."
"With a row of houses oachwxactly llko
tho others." 1 ngrced with n llttlo shuddor
nt Iho plcturo I had colled up.
"Suro," returned Dicky. "You'd think,
out hero, whero thero Is plonty of room
peoplo would llko n touch of Individuality
In their homes. Of courso you do find lots
of nttrnctlvo houscn, but tho majority of
tho peoplo scorn content with hoiies that
look nn If they had been poured but ot n
mold In somo factory." ....
"Do ring the bell, Dicky," I snld "I
am so nnxlous to sco the Inside of this oh
mansion " ...
"Hlng the bell!" Dicky cxclnlmcd scorn
fully "Where do you think you aro? In
tho twentieth century. Look over your
licntl " , , ,. .
I looked, nnd exclaimed In delight, for
Just nboo my head wns an Immonoo knock
er of the Hind thnt adorned tho old colonial
homes. I lifted It and let It drop, but tho
sound that camo from It seemed multled I
doubted whether nny ono Inside could henr
"Thn nlmrn ncal of a bell may not hao
tho sound Of the oldon time, but It Is more
effective," paid Dicky, answering tho look
on my face, but tho npouing of tho door
disproved his worlK
A tall, thin woman stood In the opon
Inir. Her faco was palo, hor hulr drawn
back from her faco nnd colled In a tight
llttlo, knot on the top of her head. Iter
dress was clean nnd tidy, but very plain
nnd conrsc. She held n plump baby In
her arms, while another little ono, scarce
ly moro than n baby herself, peeped nt ui
from tho shelter of her mother's skirt.
"I see tho house Is for rent," began
Dicky genially. "How much Is It per
month, and how soon could ono tako pos
session?" . . .
I looked nt him In amazement, I knew
he had no moro Intention of renting this
Immense placo than ho had of flying tq
tho moon. As I watched his deferenco to
the woman I rcallied that Bho would not
object to our looking It over.
My cheeks flushed with chagrin. Nothing
Is so forolgn to my nature as pretense of
any kind. I would far, far rather have
never seen tho old house than to go oyer
it on tho pretext of wishing to rent It

Tou will have to ask tho agent," she
went on.
"Ilut there Is no objection to our look
ing over the house while we are here. Is
there?" Dicky asked with his most In
nlng smile.
".Vone," the woman answered laconically.
"I cannot go with you, on account of the
babies. It is cold In all the rooms but this
one," she Indicated the large room In which
we c.tood "Ilut you may go anywhere
through tha house you wish. Tou w6n't
find much to see. When old Mr. Foreman
failed he left many things In the- house.
But since tho place hss been empty, It has
been ruined. Why peoplo came In here and
ripped out the electric light fixtures. Every
thing thnt could be stolen has been taken,
finally the owners put us In as care
taker, r guess they were afraid people
would tear the building down for the
lumber."
She spoko In a curious emotionless tone,

arms began to cry, nnd as she bushed It
Dicky led mo through an ancient door
with curiously wrought old knobs Into a
hall with an Immense flroplace.
"Thii Is whero we would hne had our
dlnnor," Dicky said. "Looks lonesome, '
doesn't It?"
I made no reply. Sfy convictions bto
very strong upon somo subjects. I felt
thnt I could not enjoy this trip through
tho house under pretenses.
Yet how was I to make Dicky seo my
point of view without risking his anger?
