A GARDEN PARTY. If you want an excuse to dress -up, Why not ask your friends to represent their favorite flower at an afternoon or evening garden party? Since June is the month of roses, you might choose this flower as your own and send this invitation out on rose colored cards: Most of {he girls will come as gay crepe-paper duplicates of their favor- ites, but don’t be surprised if some of the boys come looking like giant but- tons or cardboard hearts from which blood seems to flow. Time Place Miss Crimson Rambler bids all the flowers to a party in her garden on June eighth. If your party is outdoors you won’t; have to worry much about decora~ tions; nature has taken care of that for you. Of course, if your party is at night you will want to strng up Japanese lanterns for additional light. And you may want to serve your re« freshments from a rose-decorated booth on the porch. As the flowers arrive, give each a jagged bit of roseâ€"coloredcardboard on which there are a few words from some flower quotation. Tell 5:11 that he will find his partners for the first event by matching up with the other flowers who complete the quotation. When the various quotations have been assembled, there will be some quaint bouquets, indeed. Imagine a gaudy sunflower grouped with tea roses, sweet peas, and forget-me-nots! Each group is given a score card on: which tables one, two, and three are. listed. The groups progress from table to tableâ€"these are placed quite a distance apartâ€"and guess a series of flower odors at each. When the rounds have been made, each group gives its score to the judge, and re-' ceives another card on which they find an odd jumble of letters. This is called a Rosebush Contest] Again they work as a group, and the: ones who find most parts of a rose-g bush on their cards are awarded tinyi noseg'ays. , To match up the flowers for supper partners, let the girls and men draw from two baskets in which identical flowers have been placed. If there aren’t enough different flowers, you might use the same flower in various colors, as red, yellow, pink, and white roses and the various colored-pinks and p'ansies. When partners have been drawn, they may seek the rose booth and help themselves to a rosy supper. You might serve: Rose-colored Lemonade in Paper Cups Dream Sandwiches Salted Nuts Rose-frosted Sponge Cake As your guests eat, you might give them some rose riddles to guess. If you prefer, you can give each couple a card with a pencil attached, on which to put down their answers. If they tire of this, let them have a try at Alphabet Flower Ships. This is a game that was played half a century ago, so that it’s about old enough to be new.

The leader explains that each guest represents a ship named a certain lat ter of the alphabet, and when called on must say: “My ship is loaded with â€""; that is, the name of a flower be- ginning with the letter the leader has called. ’ For instance, the leader calls “C” and points to a certain guest. Imme- diately she must answer: “My ship is loaded with candytuft." If “B” i»; called, the guest may answer “be- gonia.” It would be well for the host- ess or leader to have at hand a dicv tionary for reference. The faster the game is played the more enjoyable it is. You might finish the evening with a rose hunt that will send each guest off with a souvenir of the evening's fun. ' Many of the troubles with our. hair â€"â€"lack oi lustre, brittleness, dandruff, thinning 01 actual baldness â€"come primarily from lack of nutrition. The skin of the scalp, unlike the sk‘n ol the rest of the body, is stretched over Shampooing the healthy scalp be- yond what is necessary for cleanliness â€"â€"â€"once every week or fortnightâ€"is harmful. There is nothing better for [the shampoo than tincture of green soap. After the washing, the hair should be thoroughly rinsed in cool or I cold water, and then a very little yel- llow vaseline or a mixture of vaseline ‘and lanolin should be rubbed into the lroots. When the scalp has been neg- ilected the hair may become dry and lack lustre. For that condition a pomade of equal parts of citrine oint- lment, yellow vaseline and lanolin is luseful. A little of the mixture well rubbed into the roots at night once a ‘week or so and washed out with a a bony surface, so that its blood sup- ply must be brought from a distance and is a‘imost. completely shut off by pressure against the skull such as that made by the iim of a man’s straw ..at or his derby. The stifl’ hat, by the way, is undoubtedly the main reason that so many more men than womeni grow halal. The few instances of bald? ness in women can usually be explain- ed by lack of care or by neglect of some disease of the scalp. The great thing in-caring for ‘he scalp is to maintain a good supply of blood for nourishing the hair bulbs. Massage - 411a: is, vigorous rubbing; night and morning combined with pinching the scalp between thumb and forefingerâ€"will help greatly. If that is done faithfully from early life, a man (may, if he avoids the stiff hat, not only preserve lis hair but also retard or prevent its becoming gray.

It would surely be interesting for the girls of a community to set out to discover how many flowers. birds or trees they can find in their vicinity in the course of the summer holidays. At a camp one year on the closing day, after only a week’s search, the girls went in a procession and attached names to all the trees they had identi- fied and presented to the camp on a birch bark roll a list of forty-five flowers they had discovered. If such tests were preserved, compared from year to year, and additions made, they would become really fine records.

There are sev-‘ral instances of ad- venturous white men who by their courage or force of character have im- posed themselves as rulers on the less advanced dark peopl s of the Pacific islands. Perhaps the Brookes, who have for three generations been rajahs of Sarawak, are he rrost famous. An- other royalty, a woman who has reâ€" ceived little if any advertisement, is referred to in a news dispatch in an English newspaper. Elizabeth Ma- hon‘ey, the “White Queen of the Pa- cific,” says the Manchester Guardian, has just returned to Sydney after a reign of thirty-three years in one of the South Sea islands, the “Southeast Isle," which lies on th’ extreme south- east of Papua. Mrs. Tlahoney and her husband first settled on \the island more than thirty years ago. Both were much respected, and when her husband died eighteen years ago Mrs. Mahoney took upon herâ€" self his varied activities of trading, engineering, carpentering. farming, gold digging and navigating. She gained enormous influence over the natives and was the 1' unconditional sovereign. She extended her trading and employed native labor to dig for gold. She has become extremely wealthy and owns a little fleet of ships, the largest of which is of twenty tons; she has often acted as pilot and en- gineer on it. ‘ The population of the island num- bers five more whitestrs. MaLOney's son. his wife and three employees. There are seventeen thousand natives, and virtually all are subject to her. When a baby is born among the Armenians of Russia, the nurse takes the infant and covers the skin with fine salt. The mothers think that salting ensures their children’s health and strength, and that it will keep evil spirits away. - In Russia there are estimated to be 1,229 women to every 1,000 men.

It may interest readers to know, says "The Engineering and Mining Journal-Press." that recently it has at- Lained a vertical depth of 6,726IL. where the temperature of the rock is 117 degrees Fahrenheit, necessitating a system of artificial cue-ling on a large scale. This has proved successful, but the. step-like series of shafts and levels by which the bottom stones are reached has become so cumbersome as to in. volve an excessive cost in hoisting and ventilation. A more direct entry; by means of a vertical shaft, is being considered. The ore in the bottom workings shows no signs of a decrease in gold content, so that the St. John del Rey constitutes a remarkable exception to the usual impoverishment of lodes in depth. deli “Big Ben,” the famous bell on which the hours are struck at West- minster clock tower, has been cracked ever since it was first hung in 1858.
