The cantata beautifully staged, the costumes riking and appropriate and the tout msemble most excellent. Mrs. Fay loore Cartwright, who has sung in eland, was in reality the beauti- ul queen and her voice with Miss Valdo's filled the whole house with jhis exquisite, charming soprano uality. Hanan, Mrs. L. A. Marsh, nd Mrs. Grace Burroughs, the mu- cal directors, as Zerish, had rich, pautiful voices. Turner's orchestra, Tampa, played during the entire rformance, as well as during the jharming dances given the young pople afterwards. The Lakeland peo- fle decided they would go again if rtow would return the courtesy. — - for the Tennessee Brigade; Miss He- lia Cox and Miss Lessie Trammel, who go as Sponsors from the Florida division. e & 0 Children All Ready For Flower Fete.

Good Night. l‘imeu ‘ Advice‘ g'nd.; Hints for the JHHEHES elbE A By Mme, MERRI From Virginia, Please give a flower contest. I am fifteen. Am I too young to go out with boys?—Virginia, — I do not seem to have a “flower” contest at hand, but I hope this one on “trees” will answer your purpose. I think it is an unusually good one. Fifteen is rather young to go out with boys; of course, I do not mean to school affairs, but in soclety; general- ly speaking. If you go so much now, what {s there going to be left for you when you are a really, truly young lady? This is the “trees” contest: L"wmeh tree a kissing game could play. p. 2 And which its father's name could say. Pawpaw. 3. Which shall we wear to keep us warm. Fir, B: And which do ships prefer in storm. y. 6. Which shows what lovelorn maidens do. Pine. 6. And in the hands which carry you. Palm, 7. And which is it that the fruit men fear. Locust. A:h And from their pipes men shake. 9. Which tree is it bad boys dislike to see. Birch, 10. Which is a girl both young and sweet, Peach, 11, Which liks & man, bright, dapper and neat. Spruce. 12. And on which do children llke to play. Beech. 13. To which tree turn we for goods to wear and atuff to burn. Cottonwood. 14. Now divide you one tree more, you've :nr: of a dress and part of & door. Hem- ock, 15. Which tree is necver seen alone. Pear, 16. And which one is & bright, warm tone. Cherry. 17. And which in church doth office hold. Elder. 18.~Which is a town in Ireland old. Cork, 19. For this one do not look so far, which tells what charming people are. Poplar. 20. Which one will allay the pain if promptly rubbed on brulse or sore. Witch-hagel, 21, The carpenter doth use which tree to make his wall stralght as can be. Plum, 22. To which tree do urchins call to show you and shouldn’'t have looked at at all. Rubber, 23. Which treo on calendars do you find. Date. 24. Which Is a joke told many times. Chestnut. 2. Which do we call an Ohlo man. Buckeye. 26. And which for soup we sometimes plan, Crab, 27. Which tells where at on land or sea Elm, 28. And on our feet we'll wear which tree, Sandal. In Honor of Sixteenth Birthday. I am a reader of your department and enjoy it very much. I am planning a party in honor of my sixteenth birthday and would like to have a few suggestions. Are there any games I could have to illustrate my age? What shall I serve for lunch? —“Sweet Sixteen.” I do not know of any games that would illustrate your age, but you could have pretty little boxes each containing just sixteen bon-bons with “Sweet Sixteen” done in gold letters on the top. Have ice cream and a birthday cake, then if you want more have cocoa with cream and nut bread sandwiches. A Puzzling Question, During a conversation with a gentle- man friend our opinlons were passed freely on styles and taste in dress. When I mentioned the fact I did not Itke his style of scarf-pin, and he took it out for me to look at, and with the remark he ought not to wear it I stuck it in my own collar and forgot the incident until one day later he asked for the return of it. I was un- der the fmpression T had handed Ill back at the time, but must bave lost it. T offered to replace it, but this he refused and says only the original will he accept. Now I do not feel right about it urless I can reimburse him somehow. What would you suggest?—)Miss “Doubtful.” If the pin is lost and the man will | accept nothing but the original I dol not see what you can do. Give a jew- eler a description of the pin and see how near you can duplicate it. Send that to the man; if he refuses it you have done all in your power to make it right. Go With Another Boy. I am sixteen years old and for the past six months have been going with a boy who Is nineteen. He treats me well; takes me to the shows and dif- ferent places of amusement, but al- ways acts as though he were doing it for an accommodation to me. Is there anything I can do to prevent this feel- ing? Ought I to stop going with him? I don’t know whether I really care for him or not. Ought I to wait and see | before giving him up? Is it proper for him to walk home from church ettt me ?>—Chatter-Box. By all means let the chap walk home with other girls; at the age of sixteen you should not think of limit- ing yourself to just one boy friend. Go with some one else and do not try to find out which one you like the best. There is always safety in num- bers. Let the boy in question under stand that he does not have to take you. MADAME MERRI. Borax or ammonia {s effective and bharmless when used to soften hard water, though rain water is always best for the tollet. Red vaseline applied daily with a small camel's balr brush will darken and increase the growth of both eye- lashes and eyebrows. Nuts should be eaten in the winter time. They are extremely rich and nutritious, vegetarians using them in place of meat and butter. When walking keep the chest ele- vated and breathe deeply through the nose. A long walk may be taken without exhausting effects. If the finger nails are brittle and break when manicured, put the finger tops in olive oil or a little melted vasellne before cutting them., Colored and scented soaps are not considered as sanitary as the white soaps, both coloring and scent being often added to disguise impurities. Diluted glycerine is better for the skin than the pure form. The pure glycerine will burn and wrinkle the finer skins and should be applied spar. ingly. Hands which perspire too freely should have a little powdered borax in the wash water, and after being thoroughly drled dusted with the fol- lowing powder: Powdered starch, four ounces; Iris, four ounces; powdered borax, one ounce. Here 18 something so harmless that one need have no fear of using it, yet it Is said to be a most excellent bleach: Beat the white of an egg to a stiff froth, add the juice of a lemon and place in a pan of water on the stove 0 that the hot water around tho | pomade will not cook or scorch the | egg; stir into a smooth paste. As | soon as you have stirred the mixture [to & thick cream take it from the { heat and use. After washing the | face and neck take a little of the pom- | ade and cover the same as In using cold cream. Rub well into the skin. | As soon as the egg begins to dry rub I the face with a soft towel, which takes off the paste and leaves the complex- fon soft, beautitul and white. No powder is necessary. -— e li Linen, Silk or Muslin May be Used for This Night Dress Case novel and pretty case, and one also that Is ex- 13 :!4 .’mL!Wl nightdress | fastening up the case.
