A 8teamer Experience Party.
Tho description of this novel party
will bo in time to assist many of you
who want to give welcomes home
to many of your friends who have
fared abroad this summer. Ocean
travel and trips on tho great lakes
clear through to Huffalo have been
very popular, as thoro have been
eorno palatial steamers put on this
year which have given voyagers a
sense of security on our treacherous
Inland seas.
With all this in mind tho hostess
asked eight friends, every one of
whom had taken a "steamer" vaca
tion. Two of them having made tho
old-fashioned "befo' do war" trip from
St. Louis to New Orleans on "tho
river." Tho gucstB wero asked to
glvo only fifteen-minute descriptions
of what was to them tho most Inter
esting or exciting part of their trip,
and thus you see two hours of tho
afternoon "from threo to six" was
beautifully filled. While one person
"talked," tho others had their needle
work.
Tho affair wan hold on the porch
and thcro woro as many steamer
chairs as tho hostess could borrow.
After all had arrived, the twelve-year-old
boy of tho household dressed as
a ship's steward, served hot beef tea
and "pilot biscuit," and during tho
afternoon tho time was -sounded by
bells. Rooks of travel, guide books
and literature so abundantly furnish
ed by steamship lines was scattered
about, and thero were many souvenir
postals with a desk equipped for
writing should anyone wish to send
a last message back by tho pilot, who
camo in dressed as a sailor (a dear
little chap in middy suit with "First
Pilot" on his capband).
After each ono had had her turn
with no interruptions of mal da mcr,
delicious refreshments were served,
and everyone agreed that it had been
a most delightful nftcrnoon, as it had
given good friends tho opportunity
of meeting and hearing each othor'H
experiences Just when they wero
fresh in tho mind, and all were ho
enthusiastic. Lists of books to read
were exchanged and plans begun for
"next" year's vacation and tho next
"steamer experience" party, which
was voted should be an annual affair.
A Corn Roast.
Our amusements are. greatly gov
erned by the season of the year, and
right now the popular thing Is a
"corn roast." Of course they are not
new, but there is something decided
ly alluring In a moonlight night, a
big bonfire, Just tho right crowd, and
plenty of nice, sweet roasting ears,
not forgetting sweet potatoes, bacon,
coffee and the delicious sandwiches
the glrlB know how to make.
Even the effete east is having corn
roastB with the smartest of the smart
set as host and hostess. Motor cars
are often discarded and hayracks
with four horses call for tho guests.
If a colored man who knows "just
how" Is available, he may be called
upon to superintend the broiling of
the bacon, roasting the potatoes, corn,
and making the coffee; if not, the
men of the party will be found quite
capable. Banjos, guitars and the
cushions from tho wagon add to the
enjoyment after the repast, then the
affair usually winds up with an In
formal dance at tho homo of the host
ess. These are delightfully informal
affairs. Here Is a list of sandwiches
that the girls tell me aro especially
nice for such occasions. I cannot
give tho rules, but I am sure you all
will know how to go about making
them Just from the names. They

A Peach Luncheon.
A peach luncheon will bo rensott
ablo ns long as peaches arc ripe and
tho weather favorable, for the In vita'
tlons say "luncheon served on ttit
lawn." Hut tho hostess has provided
the decorations of tho hotisu so as tc
give an outdoor effect as much at
posslblo should the day prove incle
ment. If tho day 1b flno a round table
spread with whlto is to set under a
canopy rondo of awning material, sup
ported at tho four corncru by stakes
driven firmly Into the ground, Howp
of Chlncso lanterns will decorate thin
outdoor dining room. The table con
torpleco Is to bo a pink enameled
basket laden with poaches, leaves
and vines. For place cards there
will bo cardboard peaches done in
water color with a green leaf or two.
Hero Is the menu, which Is unusunlly
dainty:
Tohinto nnd caviar canapes, Jellied
veal or tongue with potato croquettes,
olives, shrimp in nsplc with a mnyon
nalso dressing, cheese wafers. A de
licious peach omelet conies next
nerved with brondled peaches. Tho
desBcrt Is to bo peach Ico cream In
shape of tho real fruit, the leaves be
ing tnado of plstnrhio Ico cream.
They will be placed on plates cov
ered with real peach leaves. If desir
ed tiny liquor glasses may bo filled
with peach brandy. The hostess Is to
wear a pink gown with u stock and
belt of yellow. This is a very good
combination providing Just tho rlgh
shades are selected.
A Bonnet Party.
Now do not Bay that bonnet parties
aro old, until you hear about this one,
which was given for twenty children.
When all had arrived the hostcsH
passed threo sheets of colored tissue
paper, some squares of crepe puper of
gay color, and two fancy paper nap
kins to each child. On n center tu
bio she puts pins, scissors, tubes of
pasto and Httlo towels and a bowl of
water for wiping tho pasto off of finger-tips.
She Bald a Imlf-hour would
bo allowed for making any kind of a
hat, cap or bonnet, tho makor to don
tho headgear and when time was call
ed they wero to form in lino nnd pass
boforo tho judges, who would award
tho prizes.
Such n busy tlmo as those children
had; they wero really most clever,
too, In building their hats. Tho old
est guest was eleven and tho young
est eight and some of the work wan
excellent. Tho prizes wore doll band
boxos containing lovely hats for dolly
and the ice cream was served in tho
dearest straw hats (doll size) lined
with waxed paper. Tho children en
joyed tho novelty nnd each one went
homo with her creation on her head.
It la needless to say that there were
no boys at this party. The young
hostess declared that boys from nlno
to twelve wore "no fun." I do not
know what our boy friends will say
to this; perhaps some of them will
mend their ways a bit, so as not to
be left out of parties.
MME MERRI.
Smart Blouse.
The satin blouse is still very smart,
especially in white, and buttoned In
the front with largo bell shaped but
tons in satin or ivory, and either very
apparent buttonholes or else thick
satin loops. A Httlo embroidered
pocket breaks the simplicity of tho
corsage on one side, and tho little
silk handkerchief placed there gives
a pretty touch of color.
Lace and embroidered blouses will
be always pretty. Fine allover Valen
ciennes lace, which does not crush
and which gives such filmy effects,
makes exquisite blouses, mingled with
Irish lace, dotted net, etc. A narrow
satin collar makes a pretty finish,
A delightful chemisette of India lawn
was seen in one of the big lingerie
houses. It was embroidered with dots
in high relief, after the fashion.

Pnnninn, It. P. It Is not given to l
many men to destroy a city so utterly
that It Is never rebuilt. That Is what
C'npt. John Morgan, tho muster buc
caneer, did in 1071. when ho led his
band of cutthroats down from the
hills upon Panama. After lie had fin
ished with that big, nourishing city
there was bo little left of It that tho
Spanish moved llvo miles west along
the coast nnd thero built n new Pan
ama tho Panama wo know today.
Tho story of Morgan's Justly famous
exploit, often told, never grows stale.
It Is it wonderful story of desperate
bravery, endurance, suffering nnd ruth
lesH cruelty, and as John ICsiiuemulliiR
wan the first to relate It in detail, so
ho has been tho best Howard Pylo
lias well said: "In the case of the
Kaquemi'llng history, It should bo de
cidedly hands off. One touch of the
modern brush would destroy tho
whole tone of dim colors of the past
made misty by the lapso of time."
So I wish I had space to quote the en
tire story of Morgan and Panama us
Ksqupmcling, who was one of tho
baud, tells it. Some of It, at least,
must lie given In his quaint language,
beginning with tho capture by n part
of .Morgan'H fleet of Iirt San lxronzo
nt tho mouth of tho Chagres rlvor.
Says Kaquemellng:
"Onptaln Hrodcly being mndo com
mander, In threo days after his de
parture (from St. Catherine's) ar
rived In sight of tho said castlo of
Chagre, by tho Spaniards called St.
Lawrence. This castle Is built on n
high mountain at the entry of tho
river, surrounded by strong palllsadefl,
or wooden walls, filled with curth,
which secures them as well as tho
best wall of stonn or brick. Tho top
of this mountain is. In a manner, di
vided Into two parts, between which
Is a ditch thirty feet deep. Tho castle
hath but one entry, and that by a
drawbridge over this ditch. To tho
land It has four bastions, nnd to tho
sea two more. Tho south pnrt is to
tally inaccessible, through tho crnggl
ness of' tho mountain. The north Is
surrounded by the river,, which hero Is
very broad. At the foot of the castle,
or rather mountain, is a strong fort,
with eight great guns, commanding
tho eutry of tho river. Not much low
er are two other batteries, each of six
pieces, to defend llkowlao tho mouth
of tho river. . . .
"No sooner had tho Spaniards per
ceived the pirates, but they fired in
cessantly at them with tho biggest of
their guns. They came to nn anchor
In a small port about n league from
tho castle. Next morning, very early,
they went ashoro nnd marched
through tho woods to attack tho castlo
on that sldo. This march lasted till
two of the clock In tho nftcrnoon, bo
fore they could reach the castle, by
reason of tho difficulties of tho way,
and Its mire and dirt; nnd though
their guides served them very exact
ly, yet they came so nigh tho castlo
nt first that they lost many of their
men by Its Bhot. they being in an open
place without covert."
The pirateB bravely assaulted tho
castle, sword in one hand and fire
ball in tho other, but were repulsed
with heavy loss. Renewing tho at
tnck under cover of darkness, "there
happened a very remnrkable accident
which occasioned their victory. Ono
of the pirates being wounded with nn
arrow In his back, which pierced his
body through, ho pulled it out boldly
at tho side of his breast, and winding
a little cotton about It, ho put it Into
hla musket, nnd shot it back to the
cnotlo, but tho cotton being kindled
by the powder, fired two or threo
houses in tho castle, being
thatched with palm leaves, which tho
Spaniards perceived not so soon nf.
was necessary; for this fire meeting
with a parcel of powder, blew it up,
thereby causing great ruin, and no
less consternation to tho Spaniards,
who wero not able to put a stop to it."
Full advantage wns taken of this by
tho buccaneers, and they set flro to
the palings and gained a foothold
within them, despite "many flaming
potB full of combustiblo mntter, and
odious smells, which destroyed many
of tho English." All next morning
tho fight raged, but about noon tho
English gained a breach through
which they fought their way to tho
heart of tho cantlo. "Tho Spaniards
who remained allvo cast themselves
down from the cn6t!o into tho sea,
choosing rather to dlo thus (few or
none surviving tho fall) than to nslc
Jiuarter for their HveB. Tho governor
ilmself retrented to tho corp& du
guard, beforo which wero placed two
pieces of cannon; hero ho still do
fowled himself, not demanding any
quarter, till ho was killed with a mus
ket Bhot In tho head."
In a fow days Captain Morgan ar
rived with tho rest of his fleet and or
ganized tho expedition against Pana
ma. Ho took his men by boat up tho
CbagroB as far aa Cruces, now a vil
lage not two mlleB from tho canal, and
there landed them for tho overland
march. Leaving ICO men with the

boats, he started through tho Jungle
with iiliout a thousand. For days they
snuggled on, suffering Intensely for
lack of food, for the Spaniards nnd
Indians had destroyed tho villages and
crops along the way. At one point
they found a number of leathern bags,
and "made a huge banquet" upon
them. At another n few sacks of
meal, some plantains and several Jars
of wlno woro discovered In a cave.
On the sixth day after leaving Cruces
"ascending n high mountain, they ills
covered tho South sea. This happy
sight, ns If It were tho end of their
Inborn, caused Infinite joy among
them " Then they camo to a vule,
whero they found plenty of cattle, and
their period of starvation came to an
end with a monstrous fount. "Cutting
the flesh l,u to convenient pieces or
gobbets, they threw them Into the llro
and, half rnrbounded or roasted, they
devoured them, with Incredible hiisto
and appetite; such was their hunger,
as they more resembled cannibals than
Huropcaus; tho blood many times run
ning down their beards to their
waists."
That evening the pirate bund came
in sight of Panama, nnd pitched their
camp, which was Ineffectually bom
barded all night by tho guns of tho
rlty. Next day Cuptuin Morgan led his
thotiMiud bold men down tho hillside
and confronted tho forces of the gov
ernor of Panama, constating of two
pquitdronH of horso, four regiments of
foot nnd a huge number of wild bulls
driven by Indians. The Spnnlardu be
gan the battle, but their horso were
useless, owing to tho softness of tho
ground. Tho foot were held In check
by tho fire of the pirates, so tho wild
bulls wero dtlven forward but, fright
ened by the noise of the conflict, tho
animals ran away. After two) hours
of fighting tho surviving Spanlnrds
lied within the city walls. Six hun
dred of their comrades lay dead upon
tho field. Morgan at ouco attacked
"Morgan's Tower," Old Panama.
the city, and though tho defense was
desperate, many of tho pirates being
killed, Panuma fell within three hours.
What Morgan did to tho devoted in
habitants in tho effort to find all their
hidden treasure is too horrible to re
late. Soon after the capture of the
city fire broko out In many quarters,
and Esquemellng says tho conflagra
tion was started by Morgan, though
he laid tho blamo on tho Spaniards.
Anyway, as tho housos were almost
all built of cedar, tho entire, city was
soon consumed by flames. Some threo
weeks later "Captain Morgan departed
from Panama, or rather from the place
whero tho city of Panama stood; of
tho spoils whereof ho carried away
with him 175 beasts of carriage laden
with silver, gold and other precious
things, besides about six hundred pris
oners, men, women, children and
Blavos."
Of old Panama naught remains but
the ruins of tho cathedral, tho tower
of St. Stanislaus' church and tho frag
ments of a few other stouo and brick
structures. For more than two ccn
t Ics they havo been buried in tho
jungle, but are now being brought to
vlow by tho efforts of tho Panama
government, which is having the un
dergrowth cleared away from the
ruins, '

MADE RULES FOR COMPOSERS
Frederick the Great, Talented Musi
clan Himself, Laid Down Im
perative Orders.
Frederick tho Croat was the mnn
distinguished inimical amateur of his
age, nnd his position gave him the
power to legulate tho style of com
position employed by the musicians
of his period For Instance, ho mode
the following rules to tin followed by
operatic composers' "All the prin
cipal singers must havo big iirlus and
different In character, as an adagio
aria, which must bo very cuutublie
to show oil to good ndvnntngo the
voice nnd delivery of the singer: In
do capo the urllst can then display
her art In embellishing variations:
then theie must he an allegro aria
with brilliant passages, a gallant arln,
u duet for the first male singer and
tho prima donna, In these pieces the
big forms of measitio must be used1
so as to glo pathos to the tragedy,
tno sunnier lorms or nine, such us
two-four and throe-eight, are for the
secondary roles, anil for these a teiu
pa mlniietto can he written. The.ro
must be tho necessary changes of
time, but minor keys must bo avoided
In tho theater, becauno they mo too
mournful."
Quaint Critic,
(leorge II Luks, tho painter, snld to
a ciltle In his Now York studio: "Your
criticism Is nt any rato original and

the colored laundress In the Ulllzl
Callery "When this colored laun
ilreHit visited tho PIU.I. her mistress
led her up to Coiregglo's master
piece 'There, Itnunali, what do you
think of thsit?' she said Hannah,
shaking her head lugubriously, star
ed a long while at tho pictured nn
gels whose white roheB were all yel
lowed by time, and then, with a sigh
anil a disapproving shake of tho
head, she said; '!) saints Is do last
folks to put up Uv had laundry
work.' "
Professional Comfort.
"That photographer ought not to
havo been dejected when Ills best girl
refused him."
"Why oughtn't ho?"
