There were about fifty guests invited to meet her and the hours were made to pass delightfully for them. There was beautiful music by Miss Kreher and Mrs, Ferris, and as- sisting in entertaining were Mrs. Milner, Mrs. Morris, Mrs. Woods, Mrs. Dawson and Mrs. Ferris. The parlor was fragrant with tu- lips, jonquils and carnations and a pretty scheme of green, pink and white was carried out in the dinner- room, while the library was bright and cheerful in its garnishings of red. . . - Tribute to L. H. 8.'s Flag and Bell, A member of the faculty of the Lakeland High School pays the fol- lowing tribute to the flag which now floats over the building and to the bell which calls the pupils to their studies: Breathes there a man with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, This is my own, my native land! At last the flag of the free floats over the L. H. S., and the swect old bell rings messages, too. The first thing the public schools of New York teach its immigrant children is reverence for the flag and during the Spanish-American war when the great flag hung between the two Tremont hotels, it was in- spiring to see every soldier, from offi- cer to private, doff his cap * * * and they were there to die, many of them. Surely, the boys and the girls, when they see its beautiful folds, will stop, in tl'n,-ii‘ gayest moments, and think: I love my flag; it is my coun- try calls. “Flag of hope and home, Thy stars have lit the welkin dome, And all thy hues were born in Heaven, Where breathes the foe, but falls before us! The bell, too, carries its thought, and is hallowed by its old associa- tion. 1t used fo ring, “Come to church! come to church! Now it says “Children, come! children come!” Ah, in years to come, when some of these children will be far from home, how the sound of a bell will bring to THE EVENING TELEGRAM LAKELAND, FLA., FEBRUARY 20, 1912 A Towel Shower. A towel shower for a recent bride was both practical and acceptable. There were 12 intlmate friends, so they each contributed the price of a towel and the hostess purchased one | dozen of the same pattern with the large papier-mache letters and cotton for marking. On the afternoon for the “shower” [all came with their thimbles and each girl embroidered a letter on a | towel, 0o when refreshments were served 12 Dbeautiful picces of linen were placed before the hride, Just a word as to the wearing qual- ities of these papier-mache letters, concerning which there seems to be a divided opinion. Personally, 1 have found them most satisfactory, having vears that are marked in this manner, If they are closely and carefully worked they will outwear the original material and that is all that is neces- sary. The refreshments consisted of lob- ster salad, hot cheese sandwiches, cof- fee, olives and salted nuts. A relative, who knew of the shower, sent two guest towels, a pair of bath towels and six wash cloths. Shutin Day Amusements. As soon as a child, girl or boy, is able to handle round-pointed scissors provide a pair, with quantities of col- ored pictures to cut out, Then, it there is no handy man avallable, get the nearest carpenter to make a screen or the frame for one; tack cheap paper cambric on the back. Cover the young- ster from top to toe with an apron, spread a sheet on the floor, give him a bottle, or better, still, a tube of library paste, (they dearly love to squeeze it), and you happily may go your way rejoicing, knowing that sev- eral hours will elapse ere the charm of cutting and the joy of pasting will have been lost. When the screen s full take it out and replace with a fresh piece of cam- bric. This amusement gives the child ample scope to exercise its originality, and the enjoyment of not being as- slsted is keenly appreciated by the lit- tle soul. If a box of water color paints is added to the outfit, so much the better. And, by the way, those colors are made harmless for these embryo artists, 8o if the brush should find its way into the little mouth no serious consequences follow. A Utility Shower. A dozen girls planned this shower for a recent bride. It was rather un- usual and very enjoyable. The hostess asked them all to meet at her house Informally at 2 o'clock asking the bride-elect to be there at three. In this way she had time to explain her scheme which was as follows: She has materials to make these articles: a dust cap, three holders, a broom bag, froning holder, laundry bag, a kitchen | ¢ apron, clothespin bag, roller towel, several dusters of cheese cloth and a half dozen dish cloths. The entire cost was divided among the 12 and the materiils wrapped in tissue paper and hidden throughout the rooms. Upon the arrival of the honored guest they chatted awhile and then the hostess announced that a little fairy had confided to her that there were packages of value seeretly hid- soft tones of the piano the same as for “Magic music.” When all the pack- ages had been discovered the girls all set to work upon which ever article they selected. They pronounced this a “utility” shower and it certainly was practical, for the guest of honor said her mind was so in the clouds that the articles presented had never been thought of, Delicious tea was brewed by the hostess, accompanied by thin bread and butter sandwiches filled with orange marmalade, bon-bons, and small cakes. The guests assisted in serving. The hostess was a bride of six months, so she knew from experl- ence what a new housekeeper would need. MADAME MERRI, Frult trimming for hats for early fall include tiny white apples, white raspberries and white peaches. Rhinestone trimmings are by far the most showy and effective as well a8 beautitul trimming of the season. Single ornaments of passementerie are attached to linen collars in some cases in place of ordinary ties or |& bows. White, cream and fancy serges, comprising black bairline stripes on white grounds, are great favorites of the moment. The new changeable taffetas come in double width and are most advantage- ous for cutting. Many exquisite com- binations for blouses can be had—a popular one being gold and the new hydrangea blue. A great favorite is the new mate- cial called velour de laine—a mixed suiting, almost like camel’s hair. It is particularly effective in a white dlagonal stripe and there are varia tions in tan, light blue and gray. Persian Veiling. Parislan women are searching for Persian veils, the more elaborate and the older the better. No inclination to use them as face coverings has manifested itself; the ladies are mere Iy tired of Russian embroideries.

The top of the box is well padded with cotton wool, and then covered with some pretty remnant of sllk, fast- ened just inside the lid with glue, The sides of the box are covered in a memory, “youth and home and that| like manner, and the interior 1s loose- sweot time when last 1 heard thy|l¥ lined with soft silk.

Much handsome braid is used on the coats, and the braid trimming, in band motifs and crochet buttons, is repeated on the skirts.
