men, such as Napoleon, Lord Roberts, etc. A lady may wear around her neck fragments of china tied by a ribbon. This represents "The Break-Up of China," Lord Charles Beresford's book. Another lady, whose name is Alice, may wear a necklace of little mirrors, and this represents "Alice Through A Looking Glass." An ingenious design consists of a nickel coin, a photo of a donkey, another nickel coin, and a little bee, meaning "Nickolas Nickleby." A daisy stuck into a tiny miller's hat stands for "Daisy Miller," and the letters of the word olive twisted on a wire for "Oliver Twist." Two little gates, made of paste board and a jar, represents "Gates Ajar," and a string of little dolls dressed as men, "All Sorts and Conditions of Men." There are many other interesting and ingenious designs. A BOOK TITLE TEA. 2. This is an original entertainment for a few friends. Have amusing pen and ink sketches handed around together with a small note book and pencil for each guest. Explain that each sketch is supposed to represent some well-known book and each guest is given an opportunity to put on his or her thinking cap and name the volume in his note book and pass the sketch on.

The House of Seven Gables is very simple and easy to guess, it being simply a rough sketch of a house with seven gables. An Old-Fashioned Girl is represented by a girl of ye olden time in simple and quaint costume with a school bag on her arm.

The Lady and the Tiger ought not to puzzle anyone, it is a simple sketch of a lady's head in one corner and a tiger in the other. On one card appears 15th of March, which seems more baffling than all the others. It proves to be "Middlemarch." A large letter A in vivid red of course represents "A Scarlet Letter." "Helen's Babies" is a sketch of two chubby boys in night robes. "Heavenly Twins" is represented by twin stars in the heavens. "Darkest Africa" needs nothing but the face of a darkey boy with mouth stretched from ear to ear. One of the sketches is a moonlight scene with ships going in opposite directions and is easily guessed to represent "Ships that Pass in the Night." Anyone with originality can devise many other amusing and more difficult sketches. Prizes might be given t
