Seating the Dinner Guests BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Perhaps there is no one among un who has not been the guest at a luncheon where there was some confusion about the places where quests were to sit. Such a moment is one of embarrassment to guests and hostess alike. The mood of merriment that should attend such a festivity for the moment suspended. How simply and easily the whole matter might have been facilitated had the hostess resorted place cards.

Interesting Cards. That place cards be elaborate is not necessary, especially if the dinner is one to which formal invitations were not issued. One of the things which make place cards adaptable to simple and formal occasions is that they can PLACE CARDS MAY PROVE part of' the ENTERTAINMENT AT A DINNER WHEN USED AS SUGGESTED. be as severely plain or as decorative as one desires. If they are severely plain, however, let their severity be of the sort that one can truly call instance, a plain card, with a tiny silhouette in the corner, and the name written upon it with a small paint brush and India ink, instead of with a pen.

This carries out BEDTIME STORIES W. BURGESS Mrs. Hed-Eye Leaves Her Nest. Tou'll find it risky is at best To e'er unguarded leave a nest. Vireo.

Out near the end of a branch of a maple tree, close by the sunny bank, which was the playground of the little Chipmunks, was a dainty nest. It was really a wonderful nest, for it was woven so that it hung in the fork of two twigs. A beautiful swinging cradle it was. It was the nest of Mrs. Redeye the Vireo.

Very proud was she of that nest, and she had every reason to be. Well hidden was it. for the broad leaves of the maple covered it from prying eyes. Now, of course, Mrs. Red-eye had heard the excitement when Mr.

Black Snake had caught Smarty Chipmunk. Liittle as she was, she had at once SAID HE. THERE IS ANYTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT." flown to join the other feathered people who were doing their best to make Mr. Black Snake uncomfortable. There were three eggs, three speckled eggs, in that dainty nest.

One more would be all that it could comfortably hold. Anyway, it comfortably hold more than four babies. Mrs. Red-eye in the excitement quite forgot her eggs and she stayed away longer lhan she meant to. You know that was such an exciting event that there was a great deal to be talked over among the feathered folk.

When at last she realized how long she had been away she all worried. She was quite sure that no one knew about that nest of hers. At least no enemy knew of it. she was quite certain. Sharp as are the eyes of Sammy Jay, Sammy yet discovered it.

He and Chatterer the Red Squirrel were the only ones she really feared. Chatterer, been seen about for a long time. So Mrs. Red-eve felt that her secret was safe. At last she flew back.

The excitement was all over and everybody was going about their own business. With a light heart she flew to her nest, making sure that nobody was watching her. She alighted on a branch just above it and looked down into it. She blinked her eyes several times and then stared again down into that little nest. Then she called to Red-eye, who was singing close by.

Red-eye came over at once. you see anything wrong in that nest?" demanded little Mrs. Red-eye.

A Good Design to Use. The ship to appear in this department, would be delightful for such use at Summer luncheons. It could be traced on heavy paper, outlined in black, or made of solid black. If the sails are not variety may be given the cards by putting touches of different bright colors to each that will accord with the color scheme of the table. Or the paper itself on which the ship is patterned may vary as to color.

Thus there could be green ships and rose ships, sailing alternately upon the billowy tablecloth or doily upon which It rests. Designs will be sent with a request if accompanied by a self-addressed and stamped envelope. Souvenirs. As has already been suggested, place cards do much to decorate the table and give a festive look to the board. The exquisite daintiness of some is what makes them appeal.

Also they act as souvenirs of a pleasant occasion. After forsaking the dinner table they frequently are so attractive as to linger for days and weeks on the dressing table or in the boudoir mirror of an admiring guest. As Entertainment. Place cards besides their usefulness and decorative value have another function, with which you are perhaps less well acquainted. They may form part of the entertainment which the hostess has planned.

A series of questions, the answers of which are to be guessed, may be written on the back. The following are some of the questions, the answers to which await your request upon receipt of a selfaddressed and stamped envelope. These answers are not printed now, since a prospective guest might see and read, spoiling the fun. Please send separately for "ships" and answers. Requests on post cards cannot receive answers, but all separate requests will be gladly answered without any charge for designs or quiz replies.

The following questions are suggested to be written on the backs of the cards: 1. What fowl is a flapper? 2. What fowl is a country? 3. What fowl is a foreign coin? 4- What fowl is a piece of cloth? 5. What fowl is a spy in the underworld of society? 6.

What fowl is the silliest? 7. What game is the most lovable? 8. What game goes unclad? 9. What roast is the greediest? 10. What relish is a name? 11.

What relish do we want to keep out of? 12. What vegetable always wins? 13. What large New York hotel has a salad named after it? 14. What vegetable represents brains? 15. What rolls are named after a famous Boston hotel? 16.

What fruit is married? "Not a replied Red-eye promptly. looks all right to me. When did you lay that fourth egg, my cried little Mrs. Red-eye. "I knew that my eves hadn't fooied me: There is a fourth egg there, and I didn't lay Redeye looked puzzled.

Cancer. The planetary aspects of today are not of a character to inspire age or to breed optimism. For. while 1 not definitely adverse, the vibrations are sluggish and inspire doubt and create misgivings. Under such conditions it is not advisable to do any- thing of a dastic nature or to make any resolutions of far-reaching lmpor- tance.

The ordinary routine and customary duties of everyday life must be adhered to as closely as possible, and there should be no straying into unknown or unexplored hile there will be little temptation experienced to exercise or find fault with others, there will be sensed a 1 strong feeling of self-dissatisfaction. which, if not strenuously curbed, may develop into an unhealthy pessimism. Children born today are, according to the signs, fated to suffer much from sickness during the early part -of their lives. Untoward consequences ntav be avoided very successfully if they will be given during infancy careful nutrition and plenty of outdoor air. Temperamentally they will be docile and obedient, although, as their physical condition improves, they will become less amenable to parental influence, and will frequently display evidence of self-will and insubordination not compatible with good discipline.

Their natures will be affectioni ate and loving, and the appeal made thereby will often secure for them immunity from rebuke. They will always seek companionship, and solitude will be abhorrent to them. They will not be of the persevering type and will be satisfied with little. 1 If today is your birthday, you have no great love for what is generally known as society or for the idle chatter in which it invariably indulges. As a result of your intellectuality and the brilliancy of your mind and the lack of communion of interests among your friends and associates you have become somewhat self-centered and rather too fond of your own company.

It is possible that you take yourself a little too seriously, and if vou cannot appreciate small talk, it Is also fair to assume that your intimates are apt to be bored by your line of conversation, and many of them accuse you of on If you are engaged in some humdrum capacity, where there is no scope for your intellectual i mental attributes, would it not be practical to create an outlet for yourself and your tastes on literary effort?

The following is a good method for preventing hard skin from forming on the feet, softening any that has already formed and for giving a feeling of comfort in hot weather: Empty into a box large enough for the foot to rest in, about four ounces of boracic powder.

Each morning rub the powder over every part of the feet and between the toes, leaving on as much as possible. Then ppripkle the powder thickly inside the foot of each stocking. It is surprising how soft and smooth the feet will feel after a few of this treatment. Viator? of gour iiame BY PHILIP FRANCIS NOWLAN. PINKERTON RACIAL ORIGIN Norman French.

locality. Perhaps you have wondered about this family name. It Is misleading. In nplte of yourself you keep associating It In your mind with the word but It has no connection with this word at all. Again, It is a natural, but as it happens, erroneous, assumption that the ending, recalls it as one of those purely Anglo-Saxon place names compounded of the word which has given us our modern word "town" and which Is to be found in the ending of so many English place names.

The name, however, is a splendid example of the way in which a name developed in one language can be influenced entirely out of its original form by another tongue. The original form of this family name was Pontcardon being a place name in Normandy. It was. of course, first borne by men probably in the ranks of the Conqueror's army, who came from that locality. But in the course of time its pronunciation was a bit slurred, and men, forgetting that it was a French name, began to spell it as it was pronounced.
