Mayes, Festive Game of Five Hundred. We are in receipt of a letter from one of our rural subscribers asking us what we mean by these “500 per- ties” that are occasionally mentioned has heard of the “400,” but never be- fore of the “500.” In the first place, says a Kansas exchange, our R. 8. should disabuse his mind as to there being any con- nection between the two. There is no ‘‘caste” at a five hundred party, at least not in this town, where “the butclier, the baker the candle stick maker the doctor, the lawyer and un- dertaker” all unite in social inter- course. \ Five hundred is a game played by three people and an idiot. The idiot is your partner, and it is her duty to watch closely and ‘when you play: a right bower carefully but promptly to cover it with a joker. Hence the name “joker.”.If it is a ‘‘no trump” hand she performs the same service on your ace amnd lays it away in its final resting place with an air of triumph,. This being accom- plished, her omly occupation during the rest of the game is to inquire, “What's the trump, please?”’ In be- tween deals it is her business to start a conversation with her female neighbor about the time they had st her house when the children had the chicken-pox or how much coal they have ‘burned, or how near their|’ strawberry preserves are to giving out. She is to beécome so engrossed in this conversation that she forgets to pick up her cards and ;when pa- tiently reminded that it is her bid, she is to pick vp her cards with a surprised look and inquire, “Oh, is that so, "how much has been bid?” Alter being told she is to carefully arrange her cards, look them over as though she really knew the value of her hand, and then say, “Well, if I only knew what was in the widow I'd raise it.” After spending a proper amount of time at this she says, “I'll have to pass,” and then proceeds 'to forget whn!. the trump is. .

The five othér scholarships are open for competition in Florida or in other States, and with the excep- tion of the Bristol scholarship, may be held for four years by the ‘suc- cessful candidates. The Bristo! scholarship will be awarded by lot and is avaflable for one year only to| the successful candidate, who must be a graduate of 'a high schdol or of a private school ranking ag a high school. All applications, with certificates and endorsement, must be in the hands of the State chairman of edu- eation by April 10, 1912, Arrange ments for” examnation and for awards of scholarships will be in charge of the general U. D. C. comi- mittee on education, in‘ this paper. Our friend says he | cR {n Gold or Silver, as Préferred—Msy | This Extremely Serviceable Hassock Be Made With or Without the Metal Clasp. Crochet in gold gr silver thread has become populare of late. . Handbags made of this material, over a silk lin- Ing are very dainty and lovely. The bag is then sewn to the mount through little holes for that purpose.. To do the crochet commence With a line of chain stitches at the lower end, the length of which must corre- spond /with the width of the top.of the metal clasp. This clasp should be of oxidized silver for silver thread, and gllt metal for ‘the gold thread, of course, Into every third ch, put 1 tr., 2 ch, and work at both sides of the foundation ck., so joining the filet crochet, and working round and round up to the lower corners of the clasp, then work each half separately up to the top of the clasp. The handle is & crochet cord one-half yard in length. For ‘this cord join 4 ch. in a ring, and work round and round on these four stitches, putting a d. into each stitoh for the required length. Fasten the ends securely wi worked into RINGS CROWDING OFF {the floor. May Be Evolved by Following Directions. This serviceable bassock may be yery easily made with any remnant of stair ¢arpet from threequarters of & yard to a yard in length,. The carpet is bent round and sewn together at the edges so that & cylinder of ma- terial is thus obtained, Circular pleces of carpet are-cut to fit each end, and | after ona plece has heen ueurel!!; sewn in its place the interlor must be | well stuffed with shavings, and to complete the hassock the second eir cular plece of ‘carpet is fastened on. A hassock of this shape can be more easily moved about the ‘floor than the ordinary shape, as it can be rolled to any particular spot without lifting ft from the ground. If the end shape instead of circular, a hassock of | & rather different form can be made In precisely the same way as that de- scribed, and will be -equally useful, but cannot of course be rolled along i For kneeling purposes the {oval hassock will perhaps be found more comfortable than a circular one, though after it has been much in use it will more or less lose its shape and become somewhat oval.

" When an for the Change in Fashion In London. * Gloves are no longer considersd an Indispensable adjunct of the evening tollette in'London. This is partly due to the fact that the latest fashion in‘ jewelry is large rings heavily gemmed. | With several of these on her fingers |2 woman's hand under a glove looks deformed. ¢ Then the new evening muffs are ex- qqhm creations and do away with any mecessity for further hand cover- ings.

With an elephant gray gown that same evening a muff and & searf of old rose chiffon over shot gold tissue were worn. ¢ Some of the new muffs have u-d rangements in their linings = where toflet accessories in the way of pow- der and such things are concealed, and others have on one side a spray of flowers which when lifted discloses | slooklncxlunhrnc_mhtohool‘ use.
