Did you ever hear of one? Well, neither did I until recently, and I am telling you all about it just as soon as I can. This affair was given for a boy's eighth birthday and he just | loved boats better than anything else, |80 his mother had the tinsmith make {an oval pan four inches deep, which | she filled with water and put in the center ‘of the dining-room table. Around the edge she arranged ferns and vines with moss, and in the wa. aquarium. bought ducks, miniature row boats, gail boats, a little steamer, swans, frogs and play fish. There was a five-cent safl boat at each place with the name of child on the side. The cake had a sail boat done in pink fcing derneath, All this had been kept a profound secret and all the kiddies were wild with delight. This mother is noted for her successful children's parties and she says it’s because she has just the same things for each child to take home, and she usually serves refreshments first, as ice cream and cake are after all what makes a real party to the average child, and, served early, the supper hour is not interfered with. Then, too, ghe says children are much bhappier-and easfer to manage when their stomnachs aro full. Moon and Morning Stars, Here is a Spanish game that T am sure the children will enjoy these warm spring days. One thing is nee- essary, and that is bright sunshine for this pastime. The girl who repre- sents the moon stands in the shadow of a large tree or building and she | cannot go out into the sunshine. All the other players aro the stars, and belong in the daylizht, so they venture into the shadow calling alluringly: Oh, the moon and morning stars, Oh, the moon and morning stars, Who dares to tread, oh! Within the shadow? The watchful moon keeps her eyes open and pounces unon sfome too vens turesome star, catches her victim becomes the woon, MACAME MERRI. | | | Frills and Furbelows. | In Pierrot frilis {here i3 a charm. | Ing novelty, the frill being of very fine white kilted nct veiled by a still finer transparency of black net. the black rests mistily on its under kilting.

LAK ELAND, FLA., MAY 7, 1913, Reason f )r the Change in ! the Present Color of Mourning | for change has brought about the use of white for thcse in mourning. It is the expression of a changing at- | titude of the mind toward this mat- ter of mourning apparel. White is not somber or oppressive to others and therefore will make the most un- obtrusive mourning. For the past three seasons black hats of crape (or other fabrics trimmed with crape) have been duplicated in white and it is probable that the idea has been well received because the most au- thoritative shops continue to show white mourning. For the summer season veils are made of net bordered with crape, Those for first mourning are large but cool and light, nevertheless. The | very large, coarse mesh with wide crape horder, either in black or white, can be worn without any incon- venience. It is probable that white crape and other mourning fabrics in ! whito will make rapid progress In porvlar favor now that they are well | Our model is in gray face cloth. | The skirt is draped at back and front up to the left sice, where a large braided button s sewn; above this at front braiding 1s used to ¢ize the side, also the sides of bodice, which rest on the silk waistcoat.

White crape is a very | Luela Knight beautiful fabric and the process of water proofing to which English crape is subjected has made it prao- tical, A turban and veil are pictured here developed in white, The turban is of crepe Georgette with veil of rich net bordered with white English crape. There {8 no trimming on the turban but the crape border on the veil pinned to the front of the turban and turned back provides a beautiful decoration. Almost a duplicate of this model is shown in black. These serve to demonstrate that it is now simply a matter of choice between black and white mourning. The introduction of crape in the body of the hat or in the vell or trimming fs significant of mourning and makes these models appropriate for first or deep mourn. Ing. Crape is the only fabric every- where acknowledged as correct for this purpose.

Often even a sandwich plate will be too small to hold as many crackers as are nceded when three or four friends drop in for a cup of tea and gossip, and for this a flower basket, the style that is flat with a tall handle, picking flowers, is just the thing, for it holds a most surprising number of cakes, and in this way one can easily pass a large number of tid-bits at one time without the least inconvenience, | and for crackers, decorated with jelly and cheese and guch edibles as cannot be laid on top of each other, this flat basket {8 unsurpessed, —————s Pink Crepe Skirts. Negligees and pctticoats matching are everywhere to be had in pink crepe de chine; one perfectly plain one unlined, with very scant clbow gleeves, s finishcd with the border of white elder down; it is priced at $7.95, and could be made more suee cessfully for about hali the amount at home. Another model is of pink char meuse, draped with white chiffon and trimmed with a rever effect in ghadow lace, which I8 caught in with a ros- ette of the chiffon at one &ide of the ekirt, but this gown is epoiled by a flowered white gatin girdle, For those who care to dress a little ont of the ordinary run of apparel there i a boudoir gown of greenish ycllow neare ly of mustard tone. Its material I8 crepe de chine, and, of course, stocks ings of silk and garters of salin, and the petticoat is to be had matcning. Almost all the boudoir glips are of clear white lace.
