The hostess blows e whistle in lieu of a horn, and the hunt begins. players find all gorts of paper things ne up in the guise of bonbons, but on openinig them no fool's cap is dis- covered, with a single exception. The hostess has hidden but one. Other things may be fringed squares or 'kerchiefs, long strips of tissue with fringed ends for scarfs, etc. ® Candy ax a Reward. The player who finds the fool's cap is awarded a box of candy. On the top of the box is a cardboard fool's instead of a card. On this is ritten: Please take this box with my regards, .And with it one suggestion: Pass it around and let each guest Have one piece for digestion. —Best wishes from ‘“‘April Fool."

A game of wit and wisdom would | be a foolish thing to have at an April | fool's party, so it is just the thing to seem absurd now. Iere is one that| would be enjoyed after an active form of entertainment such as the| last one: Provide cach player with a sheet of | paper cut in the shape of a fool's cap| and have a tally pencil attached by | its cord to the tip of the cap. Along | the neaa end of the cap have| written these words in large letters: “WISDOM OF FOOLS." Each person is requested to number and write down all the sayings he (or she) can remember regarding fools, gIving this adage as an example: “A fool and his money are soon parted.” There are scores of adages, epigrams and savings of this sort fn which the word “fool” in some form occurs—'a fool's errand,” “Fools rush in where angels fear to tread, ete. There should be a prize for the person hav- ing the longest list Follow the Fool. This zame can well have an active ono affer it, such as “Follow the Fool,” who should be one who will be good in devising things to do as the company falls in line two by two and does just what he does. After tak- ing the procession on this fool's prom- enade for a time, he should lead the irnip, bects and other vegetables, cut into shapes resembling pieces of candy, and each covered with fondant | A Garden. 1 Children ought to have a garden. irowing things and growing children long to each other.

As she has chronmicled the story “He came to my house for a sto when I was giving a recaption for my sons—having 5o daughters to bring out 1 did not see why my sons should not be properly introduced. The reporter en- tered my drawing room, saw the pink candle shades to match the flowers, no- ticed the frosting of the same color on you are giving a pink tea' There was an ar- ticle in next morning's paper about my pink tea.” (Copyright, 1925.)

() “I WENT into matrimony with all a romantic girl's impossible ideals,” said A serenc-faced woman the other day. “I was madly, passionately in love. I actually beljeved that I was getting a demigod for & husband, and I never had u suspicion but what we would lead a fairy-book sort of lite. “Well, it didn’t take me long to be jolted awake out of my trance of bliss, and to find out that my husband had all of the usual faults of the masculine temporament, and then some. The shock of it nearly killed me. And Instead of our home being a haven of peace and quiet, it wus a bloody battleground on which there waged perpetual civil warfare. “For. of course, I felt it my duty to reform my husband and to force my ideals upon him, and when 1 failed in doing this I beat upon my breast and wailed out that I was, of all women, most miserable. And I grew haggard and nervous, and lost my looks and &ll my zest in life “Finally, one day, a great light dawned upon me, and I realized what a fool I was in kicking, which only made my own shins sore and accomplished no earthly good. Therefore, I went into executive session and had it out with myself. T can’t change John, but I can change myself, T said. ‘A4 long as he lives, he is golng to be weak and welf-indulgent and pleasure-loving. He is going to drink too much every now &and then. He is going to play poker. And he is alwiys going to be a philanderer and a petticoat chaser. 1 can't help that. It is bred into his character.

Tlére are going to be no more arguments, remonstrances, reproaches | in my house if I have to chew off my tongue to the roots to keep silence | when I see John doing things that T think he should not do. | " 'Whatever other faults John may have, he is a good provider. I have| a comfortable home, an assured position in society, and, above wll, I have my children. And I am going to get something out of life, instead of letting it become a total loss, I am going to salvage what is left of my happimess, and if I don't save tho whole cargo with which I shipped as a bride, wh mighty few of us women get through with our entire pack of dreams undamaged.’ “So I quit worrying. Oh, yes, you ¢sn if you will. your mind that you can't alter gomething that you don't like, and decide | that perhaps it fsn't your job to alter it, anyiwway, and just accept the inevitable. you cease to fret overiit.

There is no friction in it any more, because I { never offer a word of criticisra on my husband's conduct, no matter what he | does. If he comes home, well and good.
