Appropriate prizes--leather traveling bags--are awarded to excursionists
who have done the most sight seeing--that is, who have guessed the names
of most of the stations. In the mean time small boys in uniform pass
through the "parlor cars" dispensing to the passengers such train
delectables as popcorn and peanuts, while other uniformed youths pass
lemonade in the time-honored tin receptacle with glasses in openings at
the side.

Suddenly the station supper gong is sounded and the brisk announcement
made, "Twenty minutes for refreshments." Thereupon the lively
excursionists proceed in sections to the dining room where the novel
feature of the railroad party is cleverly carried out. Along one end of
the room is constructed a high lunch counter with every equipment of the
metropolitan station. There is the steaming coffee urn, the familiar
glass covers under which repose pumpkin pie and doughnuts, old-fashioned
cake-stands with fruit, and so on. Bright colored placards on the wall
announce the eatables, including chicken and ham sandwiches, stuffed
eggs, hokey-pokey ice cream, assorted cakes, coffee, chocolate and milk.

The floral decorations in this "buffet car" are effective. The white
cloth that covers the counter and extends to the floor is festooned with
strings of smilax and spotted with sprays of fern. On top of the counter
is a huge bowl of scarlet roses, and two immense palms behind the lunch
counter make a pleasing background. In all the coaches, in fact, flowers
and foliage are used in profusion.

LITERARY SUPPER.

Give each guest a card numbered, and ask him to draw thereon a picture
which shall illustrate some well-known novel. When all have finished
have them pass the cards and on a second numbered list write the titles
of the books illustrated. Give a prize for the most perfect list and the
best illustration. Let the guests vote on the best illustration.

Or, pin on the back of a guest the name of a character in a book, or the
name of an author, and let him by questions discover his own identity.
If he fails to guess and has to be told, he sits down. If he gu
