FOR ENTERTAINING CHILDREN.
Some Games That Will Afford Amuse
merit to the Little Folks.
It not a difficult matter to give
children a happy time, because of
their responsiveness. To them "a
splendid time-’ means merely a few
folly games, some bright music, per-
haps a little dance, a light supper and
a tiny souvenir.
Their childish wishes are then more
gratified and they go home happy as
larks.
' For children from five to 12 years
of age, four to eight o'clock is the best
time for the party, supper being at
about half after six.
For tiny tots, from three to six
o'clock is a more suitable time, with
supper served at five o'clock.
When a boy or girl ran write his
or her own invitations they are much
more appreciated by their little
friends.
But, for the wee tots, mother must,
of course, send out the invitations.
.at, these parties the little host or
hostess must welcome each guest as
he or she arrives.
Mother, or some older person should
stand in the background and cordially
second the welcome first extended by
the little host or hostess.
Half an hour may be allowed for as-
sembling and then the games should
begin.
A very, amusing form of entertain-
ment is to request each little girl to
bring her best doll, and each little boy
his finest toy dog.
Then have a ‘‘baby show" and a
"dog show.”
Let each little girl show her baby
doll and let the judges decide which
is the "cutest," which is the "fattest,
which is the "prettiest,” and which is
the "best dressed.” Award the prizes
tv each little mother.
After this have the “dog show.” Let
each little man show his dog In the
ring, and have some grown men to de-
cide the various points of the dogs
shown, and then award the prizes.
A lawn hunt is very nice for chil-
dren’s parties.
Souvenirs of various kinds, wrapped
in paper are hidden here and there
over the lawn and the little one who
finds the most of these packages re-
ceives a prize.
l’eanuts or f nits may be substituted
for t lie packages.
Centerpiece Holders.
Some one has invented a pretty
treatment of the broomstick or the
pasteboard mailing tube which so
many women have found the most
satisfactory thing to wind center-
pieces and doilies around when they
have just been done up.
A 25 inch square of flowered dimity
is edged with narrow lace or bound
with wash ribbon or with one of the
many pretty wash braids and attached
to the tube, which has been covered
with cotton batting in which sachet
powder has been freely sprinkled, and
then with the material.
The doilies are laid flat upon the
square as soon as they have thorough-
ly aired after Ironing and are loosely
rolled around the tube, both doilies
and outer covering kept from unroll-
ing by inch-wide ribbons attached, one
In the middle of the roll and one on
each side near the end.
To Clean Frames.
Don’t attempt to clean picture
frames covered with goldloaf, as the
finest and most beautiful of all gold
frames are. You can tell them by the
way the gold, as you look at. it closely,
seems laid on, here and there curling
ever so slightly away from the frame
Any sort of cleaning, except the most
casual dusting, Is bound to make the
gold scale off in an unsightly fashion.
Select Brush Carefully.
The hair brush should have long,
soft bristles that will go quite
through the hair and remove every
particle of dust, and must, above all
tilings, be Immaculately clean. A
comb is rarely necessary, if the hair
is well brushed, but, when used,
should be a coat'Be os-a.
CARE OF THE SKIN.
_
! TOO MUCH SUN IS QUITE AS BAD
AS TOO LITTLE.
Some Valuable Suggestions from an
Authority on the Proper Care of
the Complexion—The Ef-
fect of Lotions.
By G. Elliot Flint.
(Author Power and Health Through
Progressive Exercise.)
The tan craze, so prevalent last
year, is abating. A fine coat or tan
bespeaks a love of athletics, and it
makes one look healthy. But now the
fair ones are discovering that too long
exposure to a summer sun rather
coarsens the skin.
The change, from a beauty view-
point, is not wholly a bad one; and yet
the face may be too assiduously pro-
tected as well as too much exposed.
Nothing more beautifies the complex-
ion than judicious exposure to sunlight
and fresh air. The truth of this is
recognized when we observe the pale,
sallow complexions that prisoners ac-
quire after even a short confinement
says the Chicago American. Plants
that grow in dark places are almost
colorless; whereas those exposed to
the sun’s rays are variegated with the
brightest lines.
Sunbaths are extremely beneficial
to the skin; they first redden it, and
then it peels, disclosing the new, deli-
cate membrane underneath. But
there is a mean in the duration of sun-
baths beyond which one should not go.
Constant exposure to a torrid sun de-
stroys the skin’s natural sensibility,
coarsens and roughens it, and, by
causing the obstruction and rupture
of its capillary arteries, imparts to it
the streak, ruddy, weather-beaten ap-
pearance that we see in the coun-
tenances of most mariners.
Tne importance to health of expos-
ing the body for a few hours, however,
each day to the sunlight cannot be
too strongly insisted on. The sun,
having remarkable germicidal power,
destroys all disease germs; and rooms
into which it occasionally enters are
more healthful than those into which
it never enters.
When the complexion Is coarse, cov-
ered with blackheads, and of a sallow
color, it is because the epidermis is
of undue thickness. The rosy lips—
parts where the outer skin is thin—of
many yellow-complected persons show
how essential to beauty is a thorough,
though not excessive, desquamation
of this hrst layer. Rubbing the face
vigorously with a coarse washcloth
wet with soap and water will make
one as rosy as a baby. Still another
way to thin the epidermis is by dry
friction with a coarse towel. If never
rubbed even metals become incrusted
and dull-looking.
And friction has more than a super-
ficial effect on the skin. By bringing
blood to the surface it enlarges the
capillaries which, as I have said, the
arteries supply to the derma, and this
permanently heightens the skin's col-
or.
The claim has been made that scrub-
bing the body daily with a flesh hn»h
prolongs life, the argument being that
friction, by rousing and accelerating
the circulation in the minute vessels
of the peripheral parts, which are es-
pecially prone to decay in old age,
energizes them and thus conduces to
longevity. Friction was recommend-
ed by some eminent physician as a
panacea for premature decay. At all
events simple rubbing with the hand,
or preferably with a glove, will restore
tone and color to the most lax and
pallid skin.
To remove the freckles that often
appear on fair-skinned persons who
have been exposed to the sun, “the
frequent application of dilute spirit, or.
lemon juice, or a lotion formed by add-
ing acetic, hydrochloric, nitric or sul-
phuric acid, or liquor of potassa to
water, until it is Just strong enough
to slightly prick the tongue,” has been
recommended.

MORE PULQUE BEING DRUNK.
Mexico City Gets Away With 800,000
Litres Every Day.
The consumption of pulque in Mex-
ico city is rapidly increasing, and
the hauling of the drink is becoming
one of the principal sources of rev-
enue on a number of lines entering
the city.
On nearly every railroad entering
the city a special pulque train is run
into the city daily and many of the
regular freight trains carry large
numbers of cars containing the popu-
lar drink.
During the month of June three
railroads, the llildago, the Mexican
and the Interoceanic, carried into the,
city 59,801 barrels and 334 skins full
of the pulque gathered within a radius
of sixty miles of the city. The Na-
tional, the Central and the smaller
lines brought in an amount probably
half as great.
Allowing that the population of
Mexico city is 400,000 men, women
and children, the quantity of pulque
brought into the city daily is suf-
ficient to supply almost two liters to
every individual. Do you drink your
share? During the month of June 14,-
985,290 liters of pulque were brought
into the city, as’in one barrel there
are 250 liters and in one skin 60 liters.
During each day of the month an av-
erage of 748,263 liters was brought to
the city.
The amount thus reckoned is ex-
clusive of the pulque brought to the
city in wagons and on muleback from
the nearby haciendas.
GOOD AND HARD.
Results of Excessive Coffee Drinking.
it Is remarkable what suffering
some persons put up with just to sat-
isfy an appetite for something.
A Mich, woman says: "I had been
using coffee since I was old enough to
have a cup of my own at tne table,
and from it I have suffered agony
hundreds of times in the years past.
"My trouble first began in the form
of bilious colic, coming on every few
weeks and almost ending my life. At
every attack for 8 years I suffered in
this way. I used to pray for death to
relieve me from my suffering. 1 had
also attacks of sick headache, and be-
gan to suffer from catarrh of the stom-
ach. and of course awful dyspepsia.
"For about a year I lived on crack-
ers and water. Believing that coffee
was the cause of all this suffering, I
finally quit it and began to use
Postum Food Coffee. It agreed with
my stomach, my troubles have left
me and I am fast gaining my health
under its use.
“No wonder I condemn coffee and
tea. No one could be in a much more
critical condition than I was from
the use of coffee. Some doctors pro-
nounced it cancer, others ulceration,
but none gave me any relief. But
since I stopped coffee and began Pos-
tuni I am getting well so fast I can
heartily recommend it for all who
suffer as i did.” Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read
the little book, "The Road to Well-
villa." "There’s a reason.”
