Like Tennyson's little brook, "bridge apparently goes on forever." With these warm days morning parties are quite the thing, with a luncheon served at one, the party beginning at eleven, or the luncheon is served at one, the game following on the porch ir lawn. For these outdoor affairs camp chairs are used, rugs are spread and Iced drinks are served at intervals during the game. It Is a pretty fancy to use cards with outdoor scenes or "landscape" backs, I believe they are called, different styles at each tahle. At one outdoor party the prizes were all rustic baskets filled with flowers and fruit; at another the host ess gave each guest a Japanese flow er holder in metal, and the pri7.es were green pottery bowls; just the thing for the holders. It is now quite the thing to carry out one scheme in dec oration, and prizes; a definite color scheme, or prizes and favors to corre spond. At one porch party of four ta bles, the hostess gave each guest a dainty apron and the four prizes were f lahorate hand-made aprons. Hanging baskets and wall receptacles add much to the beauty of the porch, when filled with seasonable flowers. A Cup-and-Saucer Shower. Oup-and-saucer showers are not new, but this one was conducted in an un usual manner. It was given by a card club of which both the bride and bridegroom elect were members. The saucers were passed to the men, the cups to the girls. When matched they were partners, the hostess pla cing them all on a tray, which was presented to the bride at the close of the game, as her prize. Novel Bazar Feature. The ice cream cone is here to stay, the children love it and on the quiet so do the grownups. At an open air bazaar given for a "settlement" there were all sorts of attractions, but the North Pole grotto was by all odds the favorite, lhiilt of white materials, covered with "sparkles," with "Teddy" bears of huge proportions, and ones of smaller size clambering up the sides, while on the very tip top a big white bear loaned by an obliging fur house, held the American flag. Inside, clad in snowy apron and cap. a man made the cones while an assistant filled them. A per cent, was paid the own er of the cone outfit and still a large sum was realized for charity. Luncheon for Nurses. This may not appeal to very many of our readers, but It certainly was an unusual affair. A daughter of a prom inent family in her home town, tired Frocks for i HE dress at the left is a one-piece wash dress of blue zephyr. The skirt is encircled with three tucks to provide for the rapid growth of ome of these little folks, and also or the shrinking of the material. The blouse is also tucked at the sides and forms a box plait in front. It is rimmed yoke fashion with swiss em jroidery in which white satin ribbon Is run. The full sleeves are finished with cuffs made like the yoke. The little girl in the middle is wear ng a dress of blue linen made with The Bride's Bouquet. At a recent wedding the bride car cd a beautiful shower bouquet made six sections. When she went up tairs to prepare for going away she stood on the landing, loosened the rowers, and threw them over the rail ing to her maid of honor and five maids. Three of the sections had the typical gifts often concealed in the redding cake, viz.: a coin (in this in stance a gold dollar), a charming little fnrer ring, and a golden thimble. ;-:ophesying to the winners respect ively, wealth, marriage within the :?ar. and single blessedness. The at tndfats were all debutantes, and this 1 tie episode created much merri ti out. To Find Partners. This pretty way to find partners was u fixed by a young hostess v. ho was ,'ver with her brush. It was to be ilnral card party, so she pa'nted a ,wer on the cards for the ladies and ote the name of that flower on a ril. for the men. Partners we' . md Lv matching name and flower. of the pomps and vanities of this wicked world, determined to take a course in nursing. Much to the sur prise of herself, friends and family, she continued to the end and gradu ated with honor. This surprise lunch eon was arranged by an elder sister. The table was covered with blue chain bray, exactly like the hospital uniform, the centerpiece and plate doilies were of white linen, each having a red cross embroidered in the corner, the oppo site corner had the guest's monogram. The centerpiece was a tall glass used for measuring in the diet kitchen and laboratories and was filled with mar guerites. The candles were white, in glass holders, with red cross decora tions on the shades. Tiny white mor tars held olives and nuts, and water was poured from large medicine bot tles. Wee bonbons in shape of pel lets, were in pill boxes labeled with directions for taking. These were very funny and the girls, all in uni forms, caps and aprons, entered heart ily into the fun. On regular hospital report sheets each nurse found her name with laughable remarks as to her condition; a small skeleton (found) at the favor counter, stood on top, supposed to be the ghost of a "first case" come hack to haunt its stern persecutor. A delicious menu was served with all the accessories that money, thought and love could produce. Needless to say, the memory of this happy day will while away many a trying hour in the days tc come, when these splendid girls are on real duty with their "first" cases long in the past. MADAME MEURI. Old gold silk for afternoon and eve ning wear is being combined with chantilly lace. Moire waists of the Gibson style are In vogue. The only trimming is self covered buttons. Tucked yokes are not used as much now as are plain ones of either fancy striped or dotted net. Upstanding bow loops of ribbon are used on the brimless hats, trimmed with tiny satin rosebuds. Belts and girdles feature all dresses, varying in design and materials to harmonize or to provide contrast. Yards and yards of shaded or changeable ribbon are devoted to the hats in enormous loops, bows and scarfs. Some of the summer hats in white Tagal are wreathed with red roses resting lightiy on clusters of dark blue foliage. Little Folk groups of tucks at the sides.

Near Death on Battlefield Many Times Swims Through Shark Infested Water to Safety on American Steamer. Mexico City. The career of Sir Porfirio Diaz, who has Just been re elected president of Mexico, forms a veritable romance of adventure and thrilling escapes from death. Perhaps his narrowest escape from his enemies, however, was in 1875, after he had led a futile insurrection against the government. At that time Diaz was running for the presidency ngainst Juarez. The people wanted Diaz, the politicians Juarez, and Diaz finally took the field with his sup porters, determined to fight it out. He was defeated, driven from Mexico, nnd took refuge in New Orleans. He then communicated with his friends, and decided to return and continue the fight. With this end in view he took pass age secretly on the City of Havana under the name of "Dr. de la Doza." Unfortunately, when the vessel reached Tampico a large b)dy of troops were taken on board. As It happened, the very man who had re cently defeated Diaz and his men was among them. It is assumed that Diaz j thought he was about to be captured. ' At all events, he slipped off his j clothes, rushed from his sateroom j and plunged overboard, beginning a plucky swim, through bad. sharky I water, for some American vessels ly i ing in the distance. A boat was low ered, and the unfortunate general was rescued and brought back to tho steamer. He was a striking figure, and as he stepped on the gangway soma of the TV President Diaz.

Capture seemed almost certain. The soldiers who had seen Diaz come aboard had reported to the crsonel, who prompted looked into the matter and found that the supposed Diaz had j come aboard as "Dr. ds la Roza." He at once went to the captain and de manded the surrender of Diaz. The colonel could not speak English, and the captain could not speak Spanish. so Mr. Coney, the purser, was sent ' for. Now, Mr. Coney, who. for the Im- portant part he played in this exciting episode, was afterward rewarded by the grateful Diaz with the post of con-, sul general of Mexico at San Fran ' cisco, had seen Diaz in the stateroom. I and. .i 2 . . . in response in a .Masonic signal , of distress which Diaz made, had de cided to aid the fugitive to his utmost Coney himself being a Mason Therefore, when, having translated the colonel's demand to the captain, the latter said he could not deliver up the supposed Diaz, but if the i colonel liked he could place sentries ' at the door so that Diaz could not es- cape. Then as the sentry wrnt reeling tc leewaru. coney suddenly opened fhe door of the stateroom, and Dia ' walked swiftly forward and safely reached Coney's storeroom. Here he ' a as at once put in a clothes press. Each night Conej took Diaz out ol his wardrobe in order that he might . exercise his cramped limbs, putting him in his own bed and locking him up in the wardrobe agiin early in the morning. Thus did Diaz elude the ' suspicious colonel and he was still In the clothes press when the vessel reached Vera Cruz. Here Coney com- municated with General Enriquez. and Diaz, with his face besmeared with coal dust and disguised as a laborer. was smuggled ashore. Diaz was obliged to skulk through the forests from Vera Cruz until he had rallied his forces, which he did with such success that the next bat tle placed him in the Mexican "white house."

Fire Drill in the FIRE." The word was passed around among amateur firefighters of the gov ernment printing office one afternoon recently. The fire brigade is said to :onsist of about a dozen laborers. Really there was no fire about the big printing office, save in the engine room furnaces and under the smelting pots. Some one high in authority at the printery had read a newspaper ac count of a disastrous conflagration in the wesi. The story of the blaze put tho notion in his head to resurrect a "general order" of several years standing which provides for a fire drill at intervals. It was near to the hour for closing down "the works." 4:"0 o'clock, when the edict went forth that the fire bri gade was to assemble quickly and from the new building attack an im aginary conflagration in the old struc ture across the alley, which separates the new from the old. Upon the receipt of the order from the front office the amateur firemen got busy without delay. There was a dragging forth of hose and other ap paratus for fighting "the red demon." A tall man, who seemed to be in su preme command of the firemen, gave tho orders in cool, confident tones. gfi "Con" Men Find Virginian Easy Mark fYOl BETfcSgl i YM'iM U KW .HErplT roRW jr. am GRCAT MfWOMT .Mflll J gWiu IT THAT) Gla A STORY told at police headquarters by Clarence Davis of Glenallen.

The Virginian related that tiiree men had inveigled him into matching twenty-five-cent pieces in a room at the Raleigh hotel, and that they had disappeared, one of them taking $45S belonging to him. When Davis reached the city and ' he registered at a hotel near John Marshall place and Pennsylvania ave nue, he was seated on the coping at the northwest corner of Pennsylvania avenue and 7th street when a strang er spoke to him. He did not hesitate to tell the stranger he was from near Richmond, and the latter said he was acquainted with people in Richmond. The Virginian informed the strang er that he was thinking of going to "So am 1 a bricklayer," the stranger said, "and I'm out of work." Army of Bees Sting 4 TEAM of horses, stung by a couple r of bees, plunged madly into twen ty hives, upsetting them, releasing an army of 80.000 angry bees, which stung the horses to death, a few days ngo, over on the Virginia side of the Potomac river, The negro driver, who ran at the "rst alarm, did not escape unwonnded.

And then there followed a contro- versy. it was heated, to use a well-1 worn but perfectly good phrase, anl in the end the roliceman hopped into the buggy and took the broad-hatted gentleman around to police station No. 1. where it became evident that the prisoner was a southerner and Shop Innumerable hose lines were con nected with fire plugs in the new building. Nozzles were aimed at the venerable structure across Jackson al ley. As the streams of water began to play and the 6pray was rising In clouds, like the mist from Niagara Falls, the printers, bookbinders, wo man folders and other workers began to file out of the buildings. There Is an order that the exit ol the workmen and workwomen must be through the side doors along the al ley and G street. Consequently, as the head of the line of workers reach ed the doors on the alley and wit nessed the deluge of water crashing against the walls of the old building and flying back in foaming masses, they tried to force thier way back in to the new structure. Hundreds of toilers behind, not aware of the conditions in front, pressed forward and forced the front rank out into the alley and Into the torrents of flying water." The ensued a scene of excitement. More than 103 employes, drenched to the skin nnd looking like drowning rats, yelled and fled precipitately from the merciless streams. The wet ones were naturally indignant at being "thrown overboard" in such a ruthless manner, as a compositor expressed it. and hurried home to shed their wet garments. In the summing up of tho fire drill it was noted that about $100 worth of paper was so badly damaged by water that it cannot be used for printing Pur poses: approximately 100 employes were drenched with water, and tvelve or such like amateur firefighters had tome experience and considerable fun. "Come to New York with me." Da vis told him. "and I will see that you get a job." Soon a second man. a red-haired in dividual, who said he was an English man, appeared and was introduced. A drink was suggested. The men had one in a saloon on Pennsylvania ave nue. Davis said he would go back to Richmond and draw his money from bank in order that he might have funds enough to see him through his trip to New York. Accompanied by Smith, the man who first accosted him, Davis went to Richmond, drew his money and returned the next day. The red-haired man and a friend met them and the quartet went to the ho tel where the alleged swindlers had taken a room. A game of matching quarters was indulged in and Davis lost what silver change he had. It was then necessary for him to get out his roll of bills. It was the first time Lawrence and Hop kins, as the two "con" men were known, had seen the roll. At the sug gestion of one of the men, Davis handed his roll to Hopkins to hold. Lawrence then said he wanted to get a check cashed, and it was while he .-as pretending he was looking for a man to cash it that those in the party became separated.

His hives are lo cated in the yard at one side of his house. The coal wagon, driven by George ! Low. drew up in front of the olace about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Low was a little dubious about venturing inside. He could plainly hear an oc casional buzzing that was not alto gether music to his ears. A black swarm of buzzing bees Im mediately flew toward the horses and Low. The latter went scampering down the road with his hands up to his face, brushing away a thousand or more of the insects which had gath ered about him. The frightened horses were almost instantly covered with the insects. They started to turn toward the road, but sank limply in the traces, whin neying wildly with pain. The entire neighborhood was In stantly aroused. A crowd collected at a safe distance to watch the un usual event. No one dared at first to go to the rescue of the horses.

The southern gentleman kept it go ing to some extent even while he was being examined at No. 1. but he did quit in time to let them know that he was not the owner of the horse. About this time a hatless, breath less' real estate agent rushed out of the District building. "Somebody's run off with my horse and buggy! Where did they go?" he shouted.
