printed the story that Shafor had decided to quit the gaino because ho ob

exaggerated It, to wiy tho least. Ho admits ho did say that a ball player

they got mighty tiresome, but ho denies that ho ever snld a thing like that
would make him quit baseball. Ho will play tho gamo, ho saya and throw

Mother Goose Party.
Masquerade and fancy dress par

tho ploasant gatherings which I havo

takes tho lead. Invitations to the ef

out fully two weeks in advance. Tho

These Invitations can be mado very

You mayo bo euro aftor theso notes
have been sent out that there will bo
a ripple of excitement among the
young ppopln, and Mother Goose melo
dies will bo at a premium those with
colored illustrations In particular.
Groat Ingenuity can be exercised In
getting up tho costumes. At last tho
eventful night arrives and let us sta
tion ourselves In the hall and watch
the guests as thny como In. Most of
tho girls camo without escorts, for
all were determined to keep their
Identity a secret from brothers and
sweethearts. "Mother Gooso." the
hostess, stands In tho front parlor and
Is soon welcoming a motley throng.
"Old King Colo" was closely followed
by "Tho Fiddlers Threo." "Little Bed
Riding Hood" was charming In her
scarlet capo and carried a little bas
ket filled with candy Instead of tho
eggs and butter. Tho "Queen of
Hearts" was radiant In a gorgeoUB
costume. "Rain, Rain, Stay Away"
was represented by a pretty blond,
who carried an Immense red umbrella.
"LIttU Boy Blue" dashed Into the
room, blowing his horn, carrying an
Imeuse sheep of cotton. Two girls
exactly tho same height came as twin
"Bo Peeps," carrying gilded crooks
and fans with tho picture of a sheep
on ono side with "I'm Little Po Peep,"

was ono of the best characters repre
sented. "Jack and Jill" went hand In
hand to got tho "pall of water." "Jack
Horner" sat In the proverbial corner
and pulled out "plums" from a gigan
tic "pie." "Humpty" Dumpty did not
look any tho worse for the "great
fall." "Mary, Mary, Quito Contrary"
proved herself most agreeable and
'Taffy, tho Welshman," was ono of
tho most popular characters In spite
of his propensity for stealing.

A Novel Card Party.
This pretty card party was conduct
ed like a cotillon and was u great suc
cess. It was glvon for forty guests,
and the tables woro scattered through,
out tho largo rooms of a spacious
country house. In tho first place each
guest found her placo nt tablo with
tin oo others by means of a nouonlr
name card.
When all had arrived and woro seat
ed at the tables the hostoBB was very
particular to personally Introduce
each partnor, If unacquainted, which
mado everyono foul moro comfortablo.
Then tho bell rang and playing bo
gan. Four games wero played and
tho losors wore the onus to inovo, go
lug to a table for favors. Theso thoy
gavo to tho wlnnors at tho other ta
bles, who weri .'.akon to tho tablo of
tho losors. and thus they mot an en
tirely now sot of players. Thero was
A Circus Supper.
Do not tell me there Is nothing new
under the sun, for I think this circus
supper Is decidedly new and clever.
A hostess gavo It who was certainly
original, and let mo tell you, she did
nearly everything herself. A party ot
six went to the circus and came to
her houso afterwards for "Just a bito."
and this Is what thoy found:
In tho center of tho round table was
a ring made by a circle of lightweight
brown cardboard, cut to represent a
picket tenco; It was glued together
and there were several realistic trees
and shrubs purloined from tho Noah'8
ark In the kiddles' nursery, as wero
tho animals, elephants, giraffes, etc.
One elephant was on top of a barrel
(from doll's clothespin set), and there
wore four tiny clown dolls over which
tho guests fairly screamed. Tho
placo cards were mndo by taking very
smnll embioidery hoops (wodtien),
covering them tightly with plain white
paper upon which Van names of the
guests wero Inscribed with red Ink.
I almost forgot tho fairy tightrope
dancer on a golden wtro stretched be
tween two glided meat skewors, and
tho dapper Httlo ringmaster with a
whip In his hand beside a bareback
rider In a fluffy blue inaline skirts.
First on tho menu were "circus
rings," mado of rounds or rings of
toast spread with anchovy paste;
noxt, "wild beast" croquettes, which
wero of chicken with legs mado from
meat skowers, heads of olives and
tails of shoestring potatoes. Thoy
woro served with "hay," (more shoo
string potatoes) In a little mound In
front ot tho "beast." Green peas
woro served In paper cups and circus
lemonade was passed. This was a
rrapped fruit punch, colored pink.
Thero was no salad, but tho Ice cream
mado up for any lack, being frozeD
In shape of clowns. A caterer fur
nlshed these and they had red candy
buttons and red caiidy bands around
tho peaked caps; tho eyes wero of
currants. Peanuts in striped bags and
bonbons In clown-shaped boxes were
.passed with the coffeo. Every ono
