w OMAN’S PAGE. Games and Stunts for First of April BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. THE HOSTESS HOLD! AND ON IT SEQUENCE. Novelty will lend its element of in- terest to the fool's cap party origin- ated for readers of this paper. The quaint caps, with their grotesque and amusing significance, will be decided in evidence in decoration and in eorles of the costume. The caps are easily made in quantity from tissue or crepe paper by folding the sheets and cutting a number at a time. A motley array of colors is preferable to any one definite color scheme, for it is in accordance with the term a “motley fool. The caps for decorative purposes should be of various sizes. They can be fastened at intervals to colored twine or jute varn and used as fes- toons about the rooms. Separately can be lightly touched with li- brary paste &nd stuck to doors, win- dow casements and even to the wood of furniture, The paper is soft and will not injure the furniture, and the pastt can be wiped away readily when the festivities are over. Use a soft cloth moistened with warm (not hot) water. Caps should be provided for guests by the hostess. Two triangular or wedge-shaped pieces of tissue paper with the edges from tip to base joined together with library paste and hav- ing the lower part or base left open makes a cap. The head size should be large enough to allow the cap to be worn. Paste a coil of slashed tissue paper in the tip of the cap to form a tassel. Guests are requested to wear the caps during the festivities. Fool's Cap Antics. A delightful game to start the fun Is called fool's cap stunts. The host- ess has ready as many pieces of paper cut into the shape of fool's caps as there are guests. Two colors of paper have been used and two caps cut out at the same time, a piece of one color being laid over that of the other first. Cut the edges of each two slightly irregular or nick the edges so that but two caps (one of each color) will be duplicates. . Caps for Partners These caps should have been secreted about the roons before the party assembles, and when all guests have arrived the hostess asks each woman to find a white cap and each man to find one of the colored caps and then to stop hunting. At the BEDTIME STORIE A Mean Trick. There are some folks we all have seen ‘Who think it clever to ean. eter Rabbit. People of that kind are the ones who always are trying to play mean tricks on others, and who, when they suc- ceed, appear tothink these tricks very smart. It never is smart to be mean. No, sir, it never is smart to be mean, Just take the case of Reddy Fox and the trick he played on the stranger in the Green Forest. Reddy Fox, of course, had heard of the stranger in the Green Forest, and that this stranger was a cousin of his. News like that would be sure to reach T BOWSER JUST STOOD THLRE, STARING AT REDDY FOX. Reddy very quickly. In fact, several of his neighbors had asked Reddy if i1t was true that this stranger was a cousin of his. Reddy was quite sure that_he had no cousins excepting in the Far North. But not having seen the stranger, he didn’t dare say so. Reddy long since learned that it is mever safe to be too* positive. Of course, he promptly began spend- ing most of his time in the Green Forest hunting for the stranger. He didn’t find him, but he did find his A svdden blow has wrecked my world. Ton aisillusioned for today- soon Il build better one— OF THE FOOL'S CAPS MI WRITTEN THE h I close of the search the hostess asks each man to find the rl who has a white cap that duplicates the one he has. When a cap exactly fits over another and edges have the same indentations partners are secured. This makes it necessary for the guests to meet in a jolly way and they | naturally get better acquainted. Acting Antics On the back of each partner’s cap the hostess has written half a sentence, when put to- and indicate a stunt or antic which the couple must do for the entertainment of the rest of the company, The hostess should have in readiness all things required for the stunt. For example, one of the white caps has on the back “Fill a teapot through the-—-, nd a col- ored one has “Spout without spilling any water. The stunt is to fill a teapot, pouring the warter through the spout. One player holds the t pot while the other pours water down the spout without spilling it. A tea- pot, @ pitcher filled with water and a large bowl to go under to catch any water that may be spilled are essential for the hostess to have ready. Stunts Supplied. If you have any difficulty in think- ing up stunts write to me and I will send a list with directions how to do them. Be sure to Inclose a self- addressed and stamped envelope with request.

The company is divided into two' groups. One goes out first, leav- ing the other group as audience. A sheet is hung across a doorway, and a little way back from it a strong light is placed. Between the light and the she the players who have gone out pass in review, walking so that the profiles are thrown distinctly on the screen. The players can disguise themselves with any hats and wraps the hostess chooses to provide. The group remaining in the room tries to guess who the persons are, and as cor- rect names are given the players drop from the procession. When all have been named, the second group of play- ers become Screen actors and the first group the ones to guess. ——— BY THORNTON W. BURGESS footprints in some soft earth, and he found the scent of the stranger. The footprints were very like the foot- prints of a Fox, and the scent the stranger had left in those footprints certainly was the scent of a Fox. Reddy became more curious than ever. At the same time, he didn't at all like the idea of having another Fox liv- ing so near., He went off by himself to think things over. He wanted to think of some way of driving that stranger out of the Green Forest. At first he thought in vain. How could he drive a stranger out without even seeing the stranger? In the second place, he couldn’t think of any one big enough to drive the stranger out who would be willing to do it just because he, Reddy, asked him. So, as he lay curled up on a big rock, taking a sun bath, he kept thinking and thinking and thinking. He had almost given up hope of thinking, of a plan to drive the strang- er out, when way off in the distance he heard a sound which caused him to prick up his ears. It was the distant barking of Bowser the Hound. A grin crept over Reddy's sharp, crafty face. He got to his feet and stood listening. Then he jumped down from the rock on which he had been taking his sun bath and headed stralght toward Farmer Brown’s doorway. He knew that it was up there that he had heard Bowser barking. Now, Reddy is not in the habit of entering Farmer Brown's dooryard in broad daylight. But this was a very special occasion. He first made sure from a safe distance that there was no danger.lhThgn he deliberately trotted across that dooryard in plain sigh Bowser the Hound. - e For a moment Bowser just stood there, staring at Reddy Fox. He looked for all the world as if he doubt. ed what his eyes saw. But it was only for a moment. Then with a rear of his great voice, he started after Reddy. Again Reddy grinned. He wl about and headed back to the g"rel:g Forest. He just kept far enough ahead of Bowser to leave a good fresh scent without being worried by having Bowser too close. Straight through the Green Forest to the place where he had found the tracks of the strang- er ran Reddy. He was leading Bowser the Hound over there in the hope that he would follow the scent of this stranger, and so drive him out of the Green Forest. It was a mean trick. Yes, sir, it was a mean trick that Reddy proposed to play. —_— Molded Tongle and Veal. Cut up one-half a pound of cooked tongue and two ounces of cooked veal, Put into a bowl and pound well together, then add one-half a cupful of thick white sauce, salt and pepper to taste, and rub through a sieve. Then add one-half a cupful of whip- ped cream and eight tablespoonfuls of liquid aspic jelly. Rinse some little molds with cold water, fill them with the above mixture, then place on ice to set. Prepare a salad of lettuce mixed with mayonnaise dressing and arrange this in the center of a dish. Turn out the little molds round the salad and with chopped asplo Jelly.

Girls are always writing in to tell me of some young shelk who attracted their favorable attention and whom they would like to invite to their homes. One and all they assure me that they know the gentleman in question is deeply interested in them, too, but this shyness prevents his taking the initiative and asking for a date. Now to most of these letters I reply: “If your hero wants to make your acquaintance badly enough he'll think up some way to de it, without your taking the lead. “Your help may give him a panic. He may think you're in the habit of luring strange boys to come out to our house. He may run away and never come back. Better let him do the asking Then be just as nice as you ver, there are cases where the Romeo is actually shy. You girls ought to be able to judge for yourselves whether your man is hanging back because of lack of real interest or just through shyness. If you make up vour mind that the boy is really bashful, then you may perhaps undertake some sort of ar- rangement yourself. However, you must still be cautious. Even if the man only needs encour- agement you mustn’t give him too much. Don’t make the mistake of inviting him to come alone to your home. Don’t give him the idea that you've set aside a special evening for him. ay lead to all sorts of doubts in his mind. . Just fix up a party of four—ask vour best girl friend to bring some boy over and then approach him whose heart you desire to win. Tell him that you'd like to have him make the fourth at bridge or some other game. Explain that a couple of your friends are coming over and you'd like to have him come along, too, if he hasn’t anything else to do. Make the invitation sound casual and offhand. Just a friendly gesture, nothing more. Once he's been entertained at your home, the next move is his. If he really wants t he must make the sugges can't do anything but walt you've given one invitation. And—if you have guessed right, and his only trouble has been lack of con- fidence in himself—undoubtedly he will take the earliest opportunity to ask to see you again. Of course, if you've missed your guess, you're out of luck. But you will feel better, in the event of defeat, if you haven't given your backward boy the impression that you were overanxious Truly in affairs of this sort, the foursome is a much better beginning than the twosome. HOME NOTES after The Exhibition des Arts Decoratif: et Industriels Modernes, held in Par. last Summer, was an exhibiton of mod ern art and crafts. The modernisti tendency throws all tradition to the winds. The furniture is usually heavy, almost cumbersome in design.” Fabric designs_are angular. Color schemes are mad, exotic and raw and primitive reds, blues, yellows and greens pre- dominating. As an outgrowth of the exhibition one occasionally sees a room or studio done in this radical mode, but it is doubtful if the modernistic movement as applied to home decoration will ever get a strong foothold in this country. A glimpse of ‘a modernistic wall treatment is shown here. The walls are splashed in fantastic design—yel- low, orange and gold. The panel Is in the tan and brown. The lamp shades are strikingly modernistic in color and design. MODE MINIATURES Outstanding among French acces- sory duets are the bag and matching belt of vivid raffia straw. For many a coat this Spring claims a belt and many a costume an envelope bag and to give entirely new chic Paris creates the bag and belt to match. You will also be amused to know that raffia is llkewise exploited for col- lars and cuffs which have indeed the power. to transform a simple sports frock into a masterpiece of originality.

No money can pay for the spirit of the wife who breathes fresh courage into a man when his own heart fails him, and who makes of her shoulders a ladder on which he climbs to success.

DOROTHY DIX. ) t. 1 PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM BRADY, Physiology of the Charleston. We have heard, writes a high school girl who shows unusual talent for {llustrating and apparently inter- ests herself in other arts, that danc- ing the Charleston causes heart trouble, fallen arches and internal disorders. My opinion of it is quite the opposite. We would appreciate your advice on the matter. It requires no very sensitive an- tenna to hear Mrs. Sumsey as she warms up after a nip of her favorite female tonic, warning a girl's mother about the harm done by the Charles- ton, particularly the “internal dis- orders.” There Mrs. Sumsey is right tew home. She can give you the low down on the internal disorders about as well as the Boomburg hired man’s wife can in a testimonial to be used in_the far country. Dancing is exercise, muscular exer- tion. So is walking or running. The question whether one with heart trouble, fallen arches or any impair- ment of health for that matter, should dance the Charleston or any other step is an individual one for the phy- sician to answer in each case. Peo- ple do not seem to comprehend that rest is a form of medicine or a reme- dial agent or a method of treatment; that exercise is another; and that it calls for medical skill and judgment to apply these medicines or remedies wisely and to the best advantage of the patient. Thousands of half baked or well misinformed invalids fritter away their chances for recovery by trifling with these remedies on their own poor judgment. A sick man, even though he be a physician, is scarcely fit to use the best judgment. Takes a Lot of Calories. The effects of 15 to 30 minutes of the waltz, the shimmy, the fox trot, the polka and mazurka were studied in the Helsingfors Physiology Insti- tute recently. The Finnish scientists found that the waltz and the shimmy increased the metabolism fourfold and the polka and mazurka increased it almost tenfold over the resting rate. 'To grasp what that means, one must remember that metabolism is the com- bustion processwhic h goes on con- stantly in life, the oxidation of food Lenten fast becomes and tissue fuel to produce the heat and energy necessary for maintaining body temperature and the functioning of the muscles and organs. The rest- ing rate—that is, the rate of this com- bustion when one remains in bed, is low, just enough fuel is burned to pro- vide the ergy for breathing, heart and artery action and the digestive function and this means a daily ration of something like 00 calories for a person weighing 130 pounds. Now, we know that walking at the rate of two miles an hour increases this metabolism rate threefold; walk- ing at the rate of four miles an hcur increases metabolism five fold. Two miles an hour is an easy stroll; four miles in an hour is pretty fast walk- ing—it is difficult for éven a practiced walker to cover a mile in 15 minutes in city streets, though it is not so difficult when no traffic hinders the hiker. Doing the Charleston is equivalent to doing a 440-yard run or a set of tennis. T should say. It s quite as strenuous as the polka or mazurka. The Finnish investigators found that even the comparatively gentle waltz and shimmy used up nearly twice as many calories as ordinary gymnastic.| exercises do; and the polka and ma- zurka used up more calories than run- ning with 160 steps per minute does.

Perhaps three thousand years ago the Oriental black rat made its way on ships and In bales of goods on caras van routes to the Mediterranean world and gradually spread into Eu- rope, always keeping near the haunts of man, a thoroughly domestic ani- mal, if not exactly a domestic pet. It may even be that the terrible plague that destroyed one-half the population of Europe in the seventeenth century was spread partly by rats from China to the extremities of Europe. Ships brought the black rat to America, too. But in the nineteenth century the native brown or Norwegian rat of Europe commenced, no one knows how, to gain in strength and num- bers, fighting the black rat and com- peting for the same share of the food on the pantry shelf until now the black rat, long undisputed monarch of the cellar, has everywhere given way before the flerce onslaughts of the brown rat.

Y DAUGHTERS OF TODAY BY HAZEL DEYO BATCHELOR Martha Dennison at 41 faces the fact that her husband has_drifted away from her, as well as her two children, Natalic and Arthur. She ‘meets an attractive bachelor, Perry Macdonald, and accepts his attentions without realizing the danger in such an attachment. In the meantime Ar- thur is infatuated with Mimi, a dancer, and Natalie half in love with Lucien Bartlett, @ married man. Perry and Martha see Natalie and Lucien at the theater, and Perry tells Martha that Lucien is married. Perry finds him- self more than a little interested in XNatalie, and Martha, worried over her daughter, decides to have a talk with her. She does this with little effect. CHAPTER XXV. Mimi’s Little Ruse. Arthur, in the meantime, was hav- ing his own troubles with Mimi. His infatuation for the girl blinded him entirely where she was concerned. He could not see beyond the vouthful charm of her, the grace of her danc- ing, the vapid prettiness of her face. Behind the lovely exterlor of her there beat a crafty little heart, and that very day after the afternoon performance of “Riotous Rosy,” Mimi had been in- troduced to a new admirer. To her delight Mimi had made an impression. She saw new vistas open- ing before her, a new field to conquer, and forgetting all about the faithful Arthur, she had promised to go to supper after the theater. Later she had remembered Arthur, remembered that he came to the the- ater each night and waited for her at the stage entrance afterward. She also remembered that Arthur was apt to be ugly at times, particularly when he had been drinking. In some way he must be circumvented, and what better way than to pretend that she was {ll, too i1l to do anything but go directly home to bed? She confided her plans to Francine Clifford, one of the girls who shared the apartment with her, and Francine promised to aid and abet Mimi in pull- ing the wool over Arthur’s eyes. Now as it happened, Francine was jealous of Mimi. She was not so pretty as Mimi—nor did she possess Mimi’s charm and ability to handle men. Moreover, Francine liked Ar- thur and was sorry for him. She knew that Mimi would not hesitate to throw him over, the minute she happened to attract any one else, and therefore Francine thought it not amiss to drop a hint to Arthur as to the truth of the matter. That night, after the show, Francine and Mimi appeared together. Arthur as usual was waliting, but Mimi, instead of smiling up at him in her usual man- ner said in a tired voice, “Arthur, I have a terrible headache. I'm going straight home to bed. Sorry, old dear, but no gayety for me tonight, I'm all in. Arthur had insisted upon going with her, but she had demurred. “Certainly not. What's the good of that?” “I could take you home,” Arthur persisted eagerly. “But that's foolish. Besides, I want to be alone. I really feel to rotten to have any one with me. Why don't you take Francine over to the Friv ity tonight? She’d love that, wouldn't you, dear?” And then she had allowed Arthur to pilot her to a taxi and give the address of her apartment, an ad- dress that she changed as soon as the taxi was a block away. Left on the sidewalk together, Arthur had turned to Francine. “Like aublto of supper?” he asked mechanic- ally. 4 He could hardly do less, ran his thoughts, inasmuch as Mimi had put the thing up to him, but he had no wish to take Francine to supper, and be hoped she would refuse. _comes in boxes Power in a pum PEP bri b ymiiive Cior tains Hellog g’ Francine, however, did no such thing.

She was much too sub- tle for that. She merely wanted to im knowing full well that his would do the rest. In ti not mistaken, for Arthur immediately began to put two and two together. Was it true that Mimi had a headache, or had she said so merely to get rid of him? The more he thought about it the more convinced he was that she had lied, and the more furious he be- came.
