Here is a new version of the old favorite “Blindman’s Buff” and it is endorsed by the children as being a good thing. A large circle is formed by the players, with the “blind man” [1n th center. . Fach person is given & | number, the numbers being in rota- tion. The blind man stands perfect- ly still in his position in the center and does not move around. From this place he calls out two numbers and the persons thus designated must change places. In doing so the blind man endeavors to catch one of them. Every little while the words “One Hundred” are called by the leader and every one must change places and in this grand mixup some ope must be l l caught. If not successful, the blind man must continue until he has a vie- tim, who then takes the place in the center. This is a fine outdoor game. A Game of “Consequences.” A copy of a very interesting little game has been sent me, and it reminds me of what we called “Consequences” " when—well, I am not not going to say “when I was young,” for I am never going to grow old. There are thirty- five sheets or slips of paper in a set, 80 the pastime is arranged for a large number of players, or the hostess may distribute as many as her party requires, and the rest are good for another time. I give a specimen copy of questions, with the answers. Each person - fills fn the answer to one question and then passes the slip on to the nextdoor neighbor, who replies to the next query. When the slip is full all are to be returned to the hos tess, who will read the answers aloud, giving the name of the one who writes the last answer as the “au- thor.” be grave or serious and there is con- siderable educational value attached to it if the questions are taken in earnest, and they could be used by a | teacher with her pupils to get an ex- pression of each one’s preferences, by having one person answer all the questions and turn in the slips to her. You see there is always some good in “Confessions,” and this scheme may add to a closing school party. MY CONFESSIONS My Favorite Name for a Woman— Helen (after Helen of Troy).

My Greatest Dislike—Selfishness, Name: POLLY FLINDERS, Heroine—Florence Basket Shower, Did you ever happen to think how many varieties of baskets there are? I never did until my attention was called to the fact by a novel basket shower given for a bride-to-be. The hostess asked each guest to bring a basket of some description. As the 24 guests were all intimate friends they consulted among them- selves, 8o the selections made did not include duplicates. There was a stun- ning brown wistarla waste basket; one of the same weave to hold fruit; & market basket made by a Dutch peasant; a clothes basket; tiny cow ered basket to hold a thimble. This was in a round work basket, that also had a scissors shield woven to match. There was a clothes hamper, and & cunning covered basket with a handle, | just large enough to hold a lunch for two. To go with these baskets there was & tea or coffee rest, woven of sweet You see the possibilities may | LOOSE COATS CUT STRAIGHT Masculine Lines Adopted for the New- est Wraps That Have Taken Popular Fancy. If the pretty maids at the shore this | summer, or on the steamer if you are going abroad, wear loose straight coats with “no shape or make” to them, do not look surprised—even if you are. For they will simply be wearing the newest thing in wraps— | the very last word in topcoats, They are partciularly adapted for | younger girls and women, these new coats, and very jaunty they are, with | la certain boyish style that is most fetching. Made of the thick, closely curled chinchilla cloth, they are suit- ! able for much hard wear and on many | occasions when the “wind blows cold.” As to the cut, they are quite straight | with masculine-like shoulders and | sleeves, They come just below the hips in that length that is best liked this season, and at the waist line there is an outside belt of the material, about two inches wide, which is slipped through loops of the material. Another peculiarity is the fastening, for they button through, with buttons and button holes on the edge of the coat, and extending from the throat to the edge of the coat. The buttons are quite close together, and shining i pearl affairs about the size of a quar- | ter. White coats, of course, are very | fashionable—very summery and very i becoming, but the new blue shades ! (those lighter, dull tones) and the soft pretty rose tones are also very smart. And maidens whose complexions will ! stand the test will like the bright yel- | low coats, for this hue is also included in the list. EASY TO MAKE SUMMER RUGS Artistic Floor Coverings to Correspond With Any Desired Color Scheme Need Not Be Costly, cost the most artistic rugs to corre- spond with any desired color scheme. After cutting rags in the usual way, sew them hit or miss, and then color them. This will produce a blended ef- fect of many tones of the same color that is very effective. They should have a border of a good plain corre- sponding tone with a thread of con- trasting color. These hit-or-miss rags | put through a bronze green dye, and woven with a thread of old gold and a dull green border are beautiful. Blue and white makes a dainty com- bination that, while delicate, will en- dure laundering. Another lovely rug is made by coloring the mixed center in buff. Edge this with a narrow strip of old rose, and have a border of deep shaded brown, edged with just a thread of black. Many other artistic combinations may be used to suit the taste. BLACK HAT STILL SMARTEST Dominant Color in Millinery, Either Alone or in Combination With Shades of a Softer Hue. Even yet the black hat continues to attract universal attention, and when any color i8 introduced at all it is always most tentative. Those ex- ceedingly ugly, hard tulle aigrettes, reminiscent of a baby's rattle, are no longer to be seen, and arisen in their grass, to use when serving on the place are the most fascinating orna- porch, and quaint wall holders in which a tumbler could be inserted to | hold wild flowers. The honored guest was perfectly delighted with this shower, for it turned out that baskets was one of her hobbies. MME.

On a little black tulle shape, the crown arranged for all the world like a mob cap, and set within a narrow drawn brim that had quite a little mushroom tendency in front, but gent- ly rolled upwards at the back, a fan- was poised, backed by a similar ar- rangement of white tulle. The affair rose to an appreciable height, while right in front there lay, as though it had just been flung there, a small bow of dephinium blue velvet.—Queen. PRETTY HOUSE GOWN.
