Daisy Party for Children.
Tho dakiy is procurablo nearly all tho
year round, either wild, cultivated or
from the florist, and children love It,
so wl this In mind tho party de
scribed was given. At a paper novelty
house largo daisies wero obtained
having Just eight potala. The children
wero given tho yellow centers, and
tho petals wero neatly cut off and
hidden through tho rooms. The child
who first found eight petals waB given
a tnbo of paste and told to paste thorn
back on to 'the center. These daisies
oouM easily bo mado at home, cutting
tho center from yellow cardboard and
(having tho petals at least three inches
long. Award a prlzo to tho child who
flrBt gets tho daisy comploted. Then
another good stunt is to have them
mako a daisy chain by giving each
child a coarse needle and thread and a
big bowl of daisy petals and seo who
can mako tho longest chain In four
minutes.
"Daisy in tho Doll" Is an enjoyable
game, and Is played by forming tha
children In a circle and having them
Join hands, then choose ono as daisy
picker, who runs around tho outside o(
the rhij:, crying: "Daisy In the Dell,
Daisy in rtho Doll, I don't pick you, I
don't pick you, I do pick you."
Tho player whom tho "picker"
touches must try to run clear around
tho circle and back to his place be
fore tho daisy picker touches him. If
successful ho does not have to bo
"It," but If caught he takes tho place
of picker.
Tho refreshments may bo made vory
attractive by having Individual cakes
with daisies on top made with marsh
mallow petals and yellow frosting cen
ters. Stems and leaves are made
from angelica. Placo cards may have
real dalslos thrust through tho corner
of card, and servo tho Icecream In
halvos of oranges; pierce holes around
the odgo of tho halves and insert a
daisy In oach opening. This makes a
circle of daisies around the top nnd
tho effect Is lovly. Orange gelatine
capped with whipped cream may bo
used instead of icecream.
A Good Thing to Know.
To Increase the lasting capacity of
candles keep them in the icebox for 24
hours before using. They will burn
much slowor, and to tho up-to-date
hostess who uses candles constantly
this Is qulto an Item. It Is quite cus
tomary to light tho dining room al
most entirely with candles placed
around the room, or the plate rail,
mantel and sideboard. These are not
shadod, and It Is a very pretty idea to
have Individual candles at each plato.
These are usually shaded.
Motto for a Sun Dial.
Could you have anything more beau
tiful than these lines by Henry Van
Dyke? It is called "The Sun Dial at
Wolls College:"
"The shadow of my finger cast
Dlvidea the futuro from tho past;
Boforo it, sleeps the unborn hour,
In darkness, and boyond thy power;
Bohlnd Us unreturnlng line,
Tho vanished hour, no longer thlno;
Ono hour alono Is In thy hands--Tho
now on which tho shadow stands.
MADAME MERRI.

8herwood Magee, Hard-Hlttlng Outfl elder.
Even if the Phillies do not win the National league pennant this year
chey have demonstrated that they are a fast and game team. Manager
Charley Dooin has some of the heaviest hitters In tho league on his roster.
Cactus Cravath and Sherwood Magee are tho star sluggers of Dooln's club,
and have contributed In large measure to keeping the Phillies at the top
the greater part of tho season. Sherwood Magee has done some rate exe
cution with the stick, though he has experienced batting slumps at times.
His present batting mark is over ,300.Magee has long been recognized as
among the great hitters of tho diamond and has a batting eye that the pass
ing years do not appear to dim.
