A P/\TJRI0TIC QARDEN PAJ?TY.
T HIS was the way n young
woman contrived to commem
orate her country’s valor upon
the Fourth of July and give
pleasure to her friends at the same
time.
When, in response to Invitations, the
guests arrived they were received by
the hostess upon the spacious piazza,
which was gay with flags and bunt
ings and well supplied with piazza
chairs and cushions.
• After the fo rp) a ll tics the hostess led
tlie " to the well-shaded lawn,
way
where a liberty-pole had been erected
with Phrygian cap of liberty at Its
top. Innumerable red, white and blue
streamers had been fastened under
the liberty-cap and stretched in every
direction over the lawn and the ends
* * tied to trees, arbor,
chairs, tables or any
convenient objects.

nmuberuTshow _
liow many other slips
were required to complete tlie quota
tion. The rest of the lines had l>een
pinned to the scattered streamers.
Each guest selected a familiar line
and began a tour of Inspection of the
other rod, white nnd blue streamers,
which was kept up until all the lines
called for had been collected, when a
new line could be selected from the
liberty-polo, and when made up, a
third, and so on, up to the expiration
of time allowed. The selections were
taken from such patriotic poems as
"America,” The “Star Spangled Bn li
ner,” “Warren’s Address,” “The Bat
tle Hymn of the Republic:” and “The
Mon.”
A largo boll hung aloft was rung as
a signal for tho beginning of the game,
and soon the lawn was the scene of
laughter and activity, whicll became
patriotism under tlie influence of the
growing sentiments expressed on tho
slips of paper.

Fourth of July Is n boy’s own fete
day, and it is his natural right to
make all tho noise no wants celebrat
ing his country’s birthday. So thought
motherly little Mrs. Cheney, when
every one of her live boys, from wee
Tod to Carl, in tho dignity of his
first long trousers, began teasing two
weeks in advance for money with
No doubt this conclusion had some
thing to do with her hunting up that
day a long-neglected paint-box and
Bpending the afternoon industriously
snipping and painting stiff water-color
paper. She surely felt justified for
her painstaking when she showed her
boys several dozen clever copies of
the old liberty bell, on the reverse
side of which was written an invita
tion to a liberty party on the after
noon of the Fourth of July. Carl
posted these the next day, and then
followed ten days of wonderment
among tho playmates and churns of
the boys. What could Mrs. Cheney
want with the old tin pans she bad
requested them to bring in the invita
tion?
But not a boy came to the
without his tin pan, which he handed
over to his hostess in exchange for
a pretty liberty-cap fashioned from
paper-muslin Hags. After all the
guests arrived they were invited out
into the back yard, where Mr. Cheney
waited on the porch in charge of a
stack of boxes
lllled with sawdust,
vhlch the boys
guessed at once
contained torpe
does. On the board
walk was chalked

with a right good will as a signal for

A FOURTH OF JULY J*00F
Last summer, while visiting in an
eastern town, I was invited to take
part In one of the most delightful en
tertainments I ever attended. It was
a roof party, given at the home of a
young woman who lived in a large,
old-fashioned house covered by a flat
roof—au Ideal place for such an affair.
We all arrived at about the same
time, aiul trooped merrily up the wind
ing stall’s to the top of the house,
where we were welcomed by Elsie
and her brother Fred; the former in
a charming gown of white, a red sash
and a large garden hat covered with
red, w mte atm blue flowers, the latter
in continental costume.
Around tine e^ge the roof was
low rdBlmg whwo renee, foliage artistieiipy and
blooming plants were
massed. Fefetooned from high posts,
fastened at regular Intervals on the
same railing, were ropes of green
hung with Chinese lanterns, fairy
lamps and small flags. Scattered
about we found rustic chairs, rugs, a
lemonade-well, benches, cushions and
pillows of all kinds. A band of Ital
ians who played throughout tlie even
ing were hidden from view by a net
work of green. In a floral bower was
a flower-bedecked table having as a
centerpiece red, white and blue flow
ers arranged to represent the Ameri
can flag. Huge, realistic-looking fire
crackers nearly covered the table, but
these clever imitations proved to be
boxes containing dainty sandwiches,
olives, wafers fancy cakes, showing
us the edibles were to be served pic
nic-fashion.
The first part of the evening we
spent in sending off sky-rockets and
paper balloons; then came games
which had been changed to suit tlie
occasion. When It came time for re
freshments we seated ourselves In a
circle, and after we had disposed of
tho contents of the boxes, two maids
in jaunty white ci^ps, red dresses and
blue aprons, passed lees and lemonade.
Tlie CTeuiug ended with patriotic
songs.
■\Vh«re tko “DfdBmtlon” Is Kept.
The original copy of the Declaration
otf Independence is no longer to
seen by the public, because
to the air and light has made the text
and signatures almost illegible. Tho
document Is now kept In a large
in ibe library of the State Department,
Washington, and k Is believed that
the faded lines are recovering some
of their color.
