It helps them to know what is expected of hostesses and is an aid in social education. i Social Training. s For example, a hostess tries to please her guests. A child can be helped to learn this side of entertain- ing by endeavoring to see that the children in her home or ol her lawn are playing games they like. She must not domineer, but give place to the wish of others.” On the other hand, if she is_a guest herself, she can be helped to see that it is for her to fall in graciously with plans- made by her hostess for her good times. Sometimes she may prefer to play an- other game, but when anything is propose, it is for her to enter into it with The reciprocal side Guidance When Needed. It is well for the mother to watch proceedings and start some- game when children look as if they did not know what to do. On the other hand, vit is well much of the time to let the children do what they like. Don’t ap- pear to be noticing them all the time. This makes them self-conscious and they fail to be their normal, active and happy selves. Games That Are Liked. Familiar games are popular. You will hear little voices piping up with glee saying, “Oh! I know that game!” or “I know how to play that” when such a game is named to play. It makes them feel easy to realize that they can play it knowingly. Another type of game brings out such knowl- edge, as children have. To appear wise tickles their fancy, and in this they certainly are like aduits. Flower Party. Let us imagine a flower party. Ask the children to tell names of flowers in a bowl. Get them to go out in the garden and each pick a leaf from a tree, shrub or plant and bring it back. Let each one see how many know what the leaf is. Have a flower for each child at the table. Fasten it to a stick of candy and use instead of the customary cap bonbon. From this the simplicity of getting up even a #pecial party for children can be seen. Supper Ideas. b For ‘a supper a fancy cake helps greatly to make the party a success. It merely needs to be iced with pink or fancy frosting to give it an orna- mental touch. Ice cream is another party feature. But if you cannot get it for a hastily planned party, try Jjelly with whipped cream. This is wholesome and Jooks dainty. Sand- wiches for the main course, with milk for the beverage, make planning easy. Or lemonade or “tambric tea” can be served instead of the milk. Simpli- fying the plans and going to as little trouble as possible without losing the festive atmosphere makes it practical for mothers to have children's parties can be given at short notice.

NEW YORK, July 21, 1776.—Joseph Brant, also known by his Indian name of Thayendanegea, has returned to America as a passenger on one of the British ships which have recently arrived. He came as no ordinary pas- senger. He has returned from six months in Bngland, where he was fetéd, wined and dined by the great- est of England’s nobility, where his portrait was painted by a famous artist, his doings chronicled by a fanjous writer, and all his bills paid by .the King’s own treasury. depart- ment. As Brant was no ordinary passen- ger, so also is he no ordinary Indian. He is a full-blooded Mohawk about 34 years old, and he has had all ad- vantages of a Christian éducation, besides whick he inherited many traits and abilities rarely possessed by the savages of the forest. His grandfather, Sa Ga Yean Qua Rash Tow, also called King Brant, visited England in his day and was received with high honors. Brant and other Indian chieftains went to England as the guests of Col. Guy Johnson, an Indian agent of the King. It was not by any means to be a purely social call, nor has it errand was to attach Brant securely to the King’'s cause in this war, and Brant’s mission. was to exchange offers of loyalty to the " King for promises that the land rights of the Indilans would be more carefully ob- served by the British than the In. dians consider ‘they have been in the past. The fact that Brant has returned in state, so to speak, on a British warship, and that he is now in the British army, is proof enough that the mutually desired exchange was accomplished. It was brought about by lavish entertainment and by two appearances of Brant before Lord George Germain, British minister for America, on both of which occasions Brant made really eloquent addresses in true Indian fashion but in excel- lent English. Promising to redress the redmen’s grievances . after the war and assuring them of the King’s high favor and everlasting protection, Lord Germain made it a matter of selfinterest for them to swear fealty to Great Britain, and thus secured Brant an ally who is likely- to be heard from frequently in the Mohawk and Susquehanna Valleys of New York duri the bloody days which seem cel n to come to that un- happy section. turned out to be such. Col. Johnson's Door Shut in Danny’s Face. Tt all depenas on who shuts the door, and& why. Y sir, it does so. While it isn’t considered polite to shut a door in another’s face, in times of danger it is sometimes the wisest possible thing to do. Danny Meadow Mouse never will forget the first time he had a certain door shut in his face. It was so surprising that he rubbed his eyes to see if it had really happened. You see, it was this way: Danny had discovered a very small crab carry- ing a shell on his back. "It looked to 80 DANNY SCAMPERED AFTER THE FUNNY LITTLE CRAB WITH THE SHELL ON HIS BACK. him much like the shell of a snail, just such a shell as he had found more than once up on the Green Meadows. It was about the same size and a good deal the same shape. The little crab gvas running away with it. “Now, I wonder what the crab is doing with that shell,” muttered Danny to himself. My, he must be strong to carry that shell around on his back. I wonder what he does it for. It covers him up so that all I can see is his legs. He can run pretty fast, considering the load he's carry- ing. I'd like to see just what he looks like without that shell on his back. I believe I'll knock it off.” So Danny scampered - after the funny little crab with the shell on his back. Like all the rest of the crabs he had seen this one went sidewise, Danny was just about to pounce on it when that crab disappeared as if he had been swallowed alive. Yes, sir, that was just the way it was. One in- stant Danny saw those scuttling little legs beneath the shell, and the next instant that shell was lying on its side without a sign of any crab. This was too much for Danny. ‘Where under the sun that crab . gone to? “He must have a hole in the sand,” thought Danny, “and has gone b5 e ; p.,n?ypommmuu There BEDTIME STORIES (Copyright. 1926.) BY THORNTON W. BURGESS wasn’t any hole. You would have laughed if you could see Danny’s face. He looked everywhere but at the shell. Finally he looked at the shell. It was then he discovered that that shell wasn't empty. At least, he couldn’t see into it. He looked more closely. There was a claw right across that opening. That claw was just like a door. Even then Danny didn’t under- stand. He sat down and stared. Per- haps it was because he sat still so long that that crab thought he had gone away. Anyway, suddenly those legs appeared once more and away raced the shell. * “Oh!"” exclaimed Danny, and start- ed after it. Once more-the legs disap- peared. Once more the shell lay ap- parently deserted. But as before there was one claw which was like a door across_the opening of that shell: This time Danny kept his eyes fixed on that door. After a while it moved. Then it was pushed out. Then fol- lowed the legs, and after a moment away scuttled that crab with the shell on his back. But Danny had seen enough now to know that that shell wasn’t carried on the crab’s back the way he thought it had been. He knew now that that crab had simply backed into that shell and had shut the door in his face with one of his big claws. And he sus- pected that that crab was still partly in that shell. In this he was right, for he was watching Hermit the Her- mit Crab. But Danny couldn’t under- stand it yet. He couldn't for the life of him see how a crab'with a hard shell could back into that snail shell and carry it around with him. “I've got to get acquainted with that fel- loow,” said Danny. “I certainly have got to get acquainted with him.

Polly was 18, and Polly was hav- ing her first taste of popularity. She was the happlest girl in the world. It was all so sudden and new and fascinating. She could hardly be- lieve that she was the heroine of this fascinating drama in which she seemsd to be playing. Inthe first place, she’d gone to a tea one afternoon and met Harold. He had actually\fallen for her, imme- ly, wanted to see her as soon again as possible. Polly really liked Harold. He was the kind of boy she could some day love, she told herself, but she hadn’t any time for that sort of thing now. He came to see her often, and she was rather sentimental about him. Then, one night, her best girl friend introduced her to Dick. 2 Dick wasn't so much. He wasn't half as nice as Harold, but he went to a stunning college and had a gor- geous fraternity pin. Dick seemed smitten at once, in- vited the fair Polly to his prom, and she was overwhelmed with the honor. She let Dick believe that she cared quite a lot, and when he took her to a dance at which Harold appeared stag, she had difficult work managing them both. Harold cut in a lot and she smiled at him. Then Dick cut back and she —remembering that Dick was impor- tant and must be pl iled more sweetly than ever. Still she managed to keep on good terms with both of them, till Dick brought Eddy ‘Wood to meet her. ‘When Eddy asked her to go out with him, she was cagey enough to ask Dick about it first. - “Go ahead, if you want to,” he urged her. “Welre not engaged, I kmow. You have a perfect right to enjoy all the good times you can get.” That seemed all right and then Harold had the inspiration of intro- ducing her to his pal Arthur, who promptly besought her for a date. Arthur had a stunning car, the first of its kind she’d ever ridden in. Harold hadn't any car at all. She than they’ to burn, so to speak.

He almost be- leved it. The first. blow came when Dick dropped out. She didn't hear from him at all. Then Eddy Wood didn’t call, as he'd promised to do again. Arthur never showed up after his one date, and it remained for her pal to tell her the cruel truth. “Every one's saying that you're date-crazy. You don't really care what a boy's like—if ~he furnishes a good time, you'll play up to him and go out with him. Every one’s talking about you and laughing.

Richard's involuntary rising to his feet when Leila had entered the room gave the meeting a social appear- ance, instead of an interview between a master and a servant, and both were aware of that fact. It was Leila who spoke first. “You wanted to see me, Mr. Kings- ley?” Her simple words broke the spell, and Richard indicated a chair. “Won’t you sit down? Perhaps you would like to take off your things first.” Conscious that his piercing blue eyes were watching her, Leila re- moved her hat and coat. Over the skirt of her suit she wore a gray silk jumper blouse that tied with gray ribbon at the wrists and throat. The neutral color made her cinnamon hair look almost orange in the light of the lamp, and as she sat down the thought flashed across Richard’s con- lousness that she was startlingly lovely. Strange that in that moment he shéuld remember that he actually held this girl in his arms. That small head with its silky curls had rested on his breast; he had carried her as easily as if she had been a child. He shook himself impatiently as though to dispel the memory, and when he spoke his voice was quite even. “I do want to have a talk with you and this is the first opportunity I have had.
