ntore will furnish any number of trifles
for a Ash pond if one cares for this,
or for a grab bag, or better still, for
a "fairy tree.” Tie the parcels onto
the low branches and let each child
clip off one. with a pair of acissora.
Anything that makoB for mystery Is
au adjunct to a child’s party.
MRS. JOHN K. SHIELDS
An Outdoor Birthday Party.
How children do love parties, birth-
day parties especially, and every
child la entitled to one day out of the
year for hla or her very own. and of
course this te the natal day. 1 won-
der If mothers realize they are mak-
ing history and how very short the
time will be when these wee tots will
be saying: "When I was little wo did
so and bo." 1 am reminded of an eid
erly woman who always counts hack
to her sixth birthday and the suke
which she chose for the occasion was
"roll jelly." The young mother was
not an export cook but ehe had prom-
ised the child she would chose the
kind of cake ahe wanted, and, let me
add. she made it, and it was glorious
In the child's eyeB and has gone down
Into the annals of a happy life with
many a birthday cake and a party.
Remember, children are the moat
satisfactory of all guests, the very
fact of dressing aud going to a party
and bringing home the spoils Is bliss.
Provide little baskets of dainty tlBsue
paper bags in which to put the favors
and candies, and even the cake, for
some kiddles love to tako samples
home.
Now for the party. We will need
a lawn, some trees and a big porch
and then with theBe accessories there
must be a big bowl of lemonu *e on
hand under a Japanese umbrella, the
stake or handle being driven Into the
ground. Children are always thirsty
aud 'Mb will prevent them from run-
ning Into the house for a drlr every
five minutes. Hide animal crackers
over the groundB and tell the guests
there is a whole menagerie hidden un-
der the bushes, In the grass and even
lh the benches of the treea; give wh
one a paper bag In which to put the
game and give a little prize to the
one who finds the moBt. A small flag
may be hidden and that will make an
other hunt, the gay little "stare and
tripes" being pinned on the lucky
find"!’.
The “eate" will be the climax of the
party and the cake should be lighted
with due ceremony and the children
allowed to blow out the candles. Cun-
ning favors are made by sticking ani-
mal crackers together with icing, and
thus made they will stand upright at
each plate. Delicious .... 'll cookies
may be ornamented w'th daisies made
from blanched almonds, the jtem and
leaves of argelica! fasten them on
with fronting.
Snapping motto caps always give
pleasure and BometiroeB the Christ-
mas tree sparkles are obtainable at
this season and they are lovely set to
going outdoors and are not harmful.
Ice cream may be served *n orange
halves, thus making baskets with
emllax for handles. Orange Ice la very
good served this way and la not so
rich as ice cream. The party sta-
tionery that comes for parties Is a
Joy to use for the Invitations and the
"Sunbonnet” baby cards are attrac-
tive also. The "five and ten" cent
Candle Tricks.
Children and even grownups enjoy
after dinner tricks and 1 give these
just as they came to me. They are all
to be performed with candles. 1 have
not had time to try them Perhaps
some of you will be kind enough to
write me if they are any good. You
could use them as an adjunct to a
bazar, performing them in a separate
booth with curtains hung at the door
to give an air of mystery, and charge
a penny to get in. Of course, this is
all to be done by young people, as It
1b within their possibilities
Put a nail in the end of a candle and
set It all In a plass filled with water.
The nail will steady the candle, which
will burn until nothing remains, al-
ways rising above the surface of the
water by reason of the decrease In
w 0 i ght.
Take a small picture cut from a pa-
per or book, and wrap It tightly
around a candle. I-ight a match or
another candle and hold the tlarae
near until the pnper becomes trans-
parent. Unwrap the paper, and every
one will be astonished to find the pic-
ture printed on the candle.
Put a candle unlighted In a basin
of water. Let several try to take It
out with their mouths, not touching
the candle with their hands. Every
one will fall. Then you put your face
In the water, and. when your mouth is
near the end of the candle, draw in a
the view of placiug on sale more than
1,000,001) acres of new college land,
located In Texas. Ileaver and Cim-
arron counties. From Oklahoma City
the party went to Alva on the train
and from there the trip will be made
in automobiles, going in a direct line
from Alva through Woods, Harper,
Beaver, Texas and Cimarron counties.
PlanB will be made for placing the
land on sale by the first of September.
All of the 1,050 acres wllh the excep
tlon of that portion believed to contain
mineral deposits, will be offered for
sale at public auction.
Still Hunting For Gold.
Cold Springs—After an investiga-
tion at the request of the interior de-
partment, Henry D. Ferguson, asso-
ciate geologist of the United States
geological survey, has recently made a
report that there is positively no gold
In Oklahoma. In the face of this and
other like ' reports, there Is under
course of construction by the Gold
Bells Mining and Milling company,
near Cold Springs, in the southwest
part of the Wichita mountain region,
a $40,000 reduction mill, for extracting
the gold, silver and platinum it Is
claimed are contained in the ore mined
in this vicinity. It is claimed that a
practical commercial method for treat-
ing this ore has been discovered.
raAangfi
deeplbreath, and the suction of the
water will draw the candle Into your
mouth.
Allow some drops from a lighted
candle to fall into a basin of cold wa-
ter. This grease will form flowers.
String them n a wire with green
leaves made $rom paper, and an In-
teresting plant will be the result.
Heat a piece of wire and stick It
crosswise through the middle of a j
randle. Make a wick at both ends.
Balance the candle on two tumblers.
Light the wicks, and the dropping j
of the candle grease will make the j
candle see-saw. faster and^ faster as j
the flame grows better,
pretty experiment.

This U
Pastime* For Outdoor Parties.
Did you every try “Blowing the
Cone?” The youngsters will love it. ,
Make a large cone of stiff paper and I
slip It on a string stretched between ;
tw’o trees a wont three feet from the j
ground.
Give each child a try to see If by
blowing ‘ !o the large end of th**
cone they can send it across the j
string. The art Is to see who can j
b«*nd it over with the fewest “blows.” |
Another very good amusement is to
tie a knot In a clothes line and stretch
It conveniently high between two
trees or poets, blindfold each child in
ta.rn and give him three clothes pins.
Then see who can come tho nearest
the knot. Each pin is marked with
the player's number; for Instance,
three will be marked “I,” three “2,
etc. Ibis gives each one three trials.
If tho party Is a large one it will be
best to let each child have Just one
pin and instead of numbering the
clothespins could have colored ribbons
tied to them, each child to remember
his or her color.
