That brings you here, for we make a point of carrying noth ing but the best builder’s hard- ware that adds not only to the beauty of a building, but to its selling value as well, The sash and door locks, hinges, etc., are a very small part of a building, but will re- pay mary times for the cost and trouble of proper selection. We are prepared to name interesting prices on tke com- plete hardware for any style of building from the humble cot- tage to the largest office build- ing. Yes, Sirl We also sell the | THREE SUGGESTIONS FOR AMUS- ING ENTERTAINMENTS. “Winter Garden Party” Will Be Found an Excellent Afternoon Pastime —8ome Suitable Objects for an “Art Party.” The children were clamoring for a new game to play, just like you girls (and boys, too) write and ask me to tell you something new to play at your parties, and after a brain-rocking time I accidentally found this, which is carried out exactly llke ‘“stage coach,” only the girls are 'all given names of flowers and the boys of in- sects, bugs, etc, llke Midge, Grub, Moth, Spider, Wasp, Mosquito, Fly, Hornet, Ant, etc., and a starter for | the girls would be Heliotrope, Violet, Mignonette, Pansy, Rose, Lily, Morn- | ing-glory, Forget-me-not, etc. “The Butterfly” takes the place of the “driver” in “stage coach,” and tells the story; when “sunshine” is mentioned, all the flowers and insects move around swiftly,. When rain is mentioned, flowers throw up their heads, insects scurry away from the flowers. When the flowers are men- ! tioned by name, the flower is obliged to answer by mentioning another flow- er insect. When the gardener or & garden tool is spoken of, the flowers bow their heads or bend their bodies, The insects shrink away, and wander around the room; when the butterfly is making only general remarks, the insects move around the flowers mak- ing characteristic remarks about them- selves, or about the emblems of the flowers in the garden. If a flower or an insect fail3 to respond when men- tioned, a forfeit is demanded. Objects for an “Art Gallery.” Some time ago I was requested to, give a list of objects suitable to use in getting up a fake “art gallery” for which a small admission could be charged, as an addition to a bazar, where there were all sorts of devices to catch pennies.

Bottle of shoe blacking A German “Coffee.” We have had afternoon teas for 80 long that an invitation to a German “coffee” was quite & movelty, and this is the season to give such an affair, for the real German imported holiday cakes are for sale in most of the large bakeshops and grocery stores. These cakes served with coffee are all that | is necessary in way of refreshments. Decorations of the German and Amer- fcan flags with wee silk flags (Ger- man) for favors, as the guests partake of coffee, will be appropriate, and 8 short program of German songs would be delightful. If the hours are late in the afternoon and the men may be expected to drop in, have eggnog, beer or ale in steins, as it is still the holl- day season and will be, until after “Twelfth Night” on the sixth.
