WOMAN’S PAGE. Plans for St. Patrick’s Day Party | BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. GATHER SHAMROCKS WHILE YOU MAY, AND QUI WIN A PRIZE. TOU MAY Several of the typical emblems char- Boteristic of St. Patrick’s day will be used in this party originated for read ers of this paper. The color scheme for decorations will, of course, be £reen, but we shall include white also. A good game with which to start the festivities Is Gathering Shamrocks. Provide each player with a small bas- ket having a tiny colored spray of crepe paper flowers attached to handle. There should be two sprays allke. Matching them indicates who's who for partners, he of any handles fastened to them. Cover th2 hoxes with sreen crepe paper. The handles mayv he of strips of the card hoard similarly covered, although green crepe paper rope may he used equally well. Prior to the party the hostess should have cut shamrocks from grass-green crepe paper. These should have been scattered ahout in hidden places in the rooms so that they must be hunted for. If the paper is folded several times, a number of the little leaves can be cut at once; The couple who, to- gether, succeed in gathering in their baskets the largest number of sham- rocks during a given time, indicated by the hostess, win prizes. A growing shamrock plant is the nicest sort of a prize for this game. Driving Away Snakes. 8t. Patrick is reputed t the snakes away from Erin.

Saniple Question—What snake can compute and make a mistake immedi- ately? Answer—An adder (add-err). Filling Pipe. A= many clay pipes are needed for this game as there are playe Two of them have the same number writ ten on the bhowls. Matching the n merals secures partners. In the cen ter of each table arranged for four persons there should be a container of confetti If vou cannot get the bage that eome ready filled and which cost but a trifle each, the confetti can be made by snipping various colored sheets of tissue paper into very tiny pieces, preferably wee squares. There should be at least a heaping cupful on each table. Rules of the Game. One of the group takes a spoonful of the confetti and throws it straight up into the air. The other three try to catch the particles in the bowls of the pipes before they land on the table again. Each player from the left to right takes a turn at throwinz the spoonful of confett! into the air while the others catch it as described. The game can be terniinated when there Is no more confetti to be zathered in the spoon from the table. Or the hostess can allow so many rounds to 4 game and players can then progress tn the next higher table according to the amount of confetti filling the pipes. This is a very pretty zame to play aside from the fun it gives. The Daily Cross-Word Puzzle (Copyrizht. 1026.) Across. 1. A toothed wheel. 4. Young creatures. 8 A footltke organ. 1. Swedish coin. 32.

My husband took me to live several hundred miles from my own home and planted me down right in the midst of his family, all of whom are overfond of him. He, of course, is more than anxious for me to love his mother. And 1 was perfectly willing to, but everything seems to have gone wrong. In the first place, he expects me to call her ‘mother,” and I find that very hard, since she and 1 don't know each other well enough for any- thing but the most formal sort of salutation. lle wonders why I don’t run over to call on her every now and then in just an informal way. But, Mimi, if you knew my mother-in-law, vou'd realize how very hard it would he for any young girl to treat her in- formally. She just isn't motherly, if vou ask me. 1 want to please my hus- band, but 1 am afraid of receiving a snub from my new mother if I treat her as a chum instead of a stranger. What do you think?" Mrs. T.s husband is making the natural mistake of all newly-married men. He's ddeply fond of his mother, knows her through and through, and he's sure that his wife understands her thoroughly, too He expects the young bride to fall into the same easy familiarity of manner with the older woman which he himself uses. And the trouble is he expects this adjustment to be im mediate. He says genially. “Now, you two people are just going to love each uther,” and then grins happily. ex- pecting them to fall into each other's ms. Young Mre. T. mustn't try to pull the mother-and-daughter act for a long time yet. If her new mother is a stand-offiish person. she mustn’t he rushed. Give her lots of time to get uged to the stranger in her son’s life. Why should the newcomer call this older woman :'mother™ until she feels enough affection toward her to war- rant such an appellation? Human beings cannot into friendships. They have to pre veed slowly 4 arefully, taking care not to ruin everything by thoughtless haste. Mrs. T. must just settie down to making her husband the hest possible wife. The surest way to his mother’s heart is through his happiness. If you make him happy, you can soon get into the habit of calling her any- thing within reason. Only go slowly—there's plenty of time. be hurried 1926.) Mimi will be glad to answer ans inauiries diracted to this paper. nrovided stamped, Adireesed enwilope 18 inejosed. (Copyrizht. What Tomorrow Means to You BY MARY BLAKE. Pisces. Tomorrow's plnetary aspects are benign rather than actively favorable. They indicate an equanimity of tem- perament, but in the absence of stim- ulating vibrations there will not be sensed any great urge to set in mo- tion the machinery necessary for ac- complishment. Routine duties should principally demand your attention, and care must be taken, under the in- fluences that prevail, not to make any important decisions, as they will not be arrived at tomorrow by the aid of careful and mature consideration This applies only to things that are material.
