Sonic Xciv FOllll of Amuscineut for Uluxe ii ii'.iw.nit > I.h 11 I'roiit n">lf Oik*. I "I've got it," exolainwd the youngster, brtnsring his han_ down with a cautious bang pon the table. ■ The man tosite stared, It. was'one of th* warmest evenings of the late un pleasant ness in tho ■ .i h.r Une. The man ii.i.l dragged himself into ana through the stilling rooms of a FrancJj res'.aurant not far from Madison squiire. The back* yard was full <>f small tables, grouped around a miniature fountain. says the Ni v York Sun, where red and blue^ incandescent lights peered hotly | through the spray. He had dropped down at one of the tables, tho __rl • mpty one. T.hen the >"6un_ster had come In. Ho man \ as nearer forty-four and felt like the L_erjnom< ti r, which, was ICO. ITeaxa or degrees, it seemed pretty much the s:r.ru' thing to the man. It irritated him to have the iimgster take the seat op posite him. The seats were scarce, but thut made no difference. He didn't want anybody exhaling: additional heat In his neighborhood. So they sat there in silence. The man pflowo; ed, and, wh.en the waiter brought hot sotip. relieved his f>-<-lir.gs by damn ing the soup for being hot and the wait ,er for bringing it. The youngster ab sin: mindedly took his portion of soup and as absent mindedly mopp< the per spj"-tiori which it s nt welling from every pore. Then he slapped the table softly fi'vj c limed: S m it!" The man si fired across .because that was »:nsy. He idn't have to move to do it. lie wouldn't have turned around to "X at a king. Net in that -weather! But if people would come opposite his eye and exclaim to themselves and slap on the. table his ' table— would allow these eyes to rest on them. So he stared and thf> youngster saw it. "I beg your pardon," he said, "but 1 had an inspiration." "How does it make you feel?" drawled the [ran. "'Any hotter?" "On the contrary," laughed the young •■'! hi- fires of genius don't give out heat, "Not much genius in this. Still 1 thlnK a 'Three R's Party' may net me as murri as a poem would. More, in fact, than one of m> poems." "A Three R's party?" repeated the man as he molioned the waiter to. carry tne fish far, far away. It had seen better cays. "Yes,'' said the youngster, absently I eking a, nest of fish bones out of his mouth. "You see, I'm an inventor of. irties." "Do you—do you latent them?" L'Alas, no! -J wish I could. I think I'd j ive made a pretty good thing out of my ; rt-handed party. I padded it all 1 j uld. but I had hard work to make 2,« 0 ; iirds out of '.. A paltry $20 you see." ">.'o," said the man with a patience hieh surprised him; "I can't say that 1 1 j:ee." l "Do you mean that you would like to ive me explain?" "Well," with a feeble laugh, "1 ouldn't put it so strongU as that. But you can stand it. 1 can." "Since you urge me," sad the young- I c-r. "I'll explain to you. You may hai ime suggestions to-offer." ".Not J!" groaned the man. "A * cold orage party is the only one wblc_ 1 ; uuldn't regard as the invention of the i vil One. Begging your pardon as an in ventor yourself." The youngster, paused with suspendrd fork. Then he slapped the table again. "Capital!" he exc'.aimeil. "I'll elaborate that idea. Just now I'll show you what I it i.- to be an inventor of parties. .Per- j haps you don't know that there are I thousands and thousands of women ail '■ over this country who are getting cross- ] eycu trying to look both ways for what \ they call a r.ew idea in tntertaining. in ! small towns it is a mania. Especially in ] the West do they hunger and thirst for these freak parties. Did you ever go to a Uft-handed party?" i "I am happy to say. 1 never did." . j "There you are! That's the scornful j New Yorker all over. Let me tell you ■ that you don't know what childlike glee j is until you go to a left-handed party. I Talk about inspirations. 1 had one sure | enough when I invented that particular t form of foolishness." The man grunted an assent to the i s_] ess." "I'll just give you a brief synopsis of the leature of a left-handed party," con_ tinues the youngster. "The moment a truest enters the door, his right hand ai;d | arm are put in a Bling, and from that in stant are regarded as hors dv combat, t-o tv speak. He hangs'up his hat. if he ) dees hang it up, with his left hand. You i must remember, by the way, that these parties are not planned for city folk," with maids and valets galore, but for what are cal'.ed in towns a small com pany. "The men. and the women, too, must do tii-ir cloak room primping with their j 1- ft hands. The hostess shakes her guess j bj ii: left hand. Thsre are prizes, of ; course. What is a party wk_cut a prize? ] has superseded the question. What is ' ho.ne without a mother? Everybody has j to write a copy of a verse of poetry w th ! thi left hand. The ladies sew a. seam < left-handed. The gentlemen have to make '< lift-handed compliments about the ladies, i Everybody must eat w:th the left hand, j There Is a brief programme of left-hand- i ed music. Everybody draws a left-hand- I ed picture of an animal. And so on. They j t< it me it is a youth renewer. You ought ! to try it. The man frownfd but th? youngster i was innocently fefdir.g crumbs to the • Br-ldftshes in the fountain. ! "That was a noble idea," he said, "and j 1 sold it off, snap, to a magazine which : pt-rveys that type of literature. Anoth- i er hot-cake idea in the party line was ' my 'Trip around "the World.' I forgot l to tell you that the invitations to the left-handed party were written with the ; left hand. The invitation to. the tourist : party announced that So-and-So was in v:t<d to join a party of friends for a ! trip around the world, and was asked to meet the other travelers at , 1 ming the residence of the hostess. .*j "The host and hostess wore traveling 1 costumes. Each guest received a small ' reci book, marked 'Baedeker,' and. con- -i tair.ing a list of about . sixty numbers, ■' With blanks after them. Scattered ; through the rooms were sixty numbered. obji i-ts, representing cities and countries'-, al! ov«r the world. The objects were • picduets for which the difTcrent places ; were famous. For instance, you would j have no difficulty iii guessing that a ci- gar represented Havana." . ~ . : "Tt would" depend on the cigar." said i the man, drily, with a passing shudder ' as be got a whiff from the youngster's J literal weed. ' . j . "Naturally," said the youngster, *rtth ' Imperturbed complacence. "Cutlery would J also mean Sheffield to a man of your in- "i telligence; a bottle of Johann Farina -i ■would mean Cologne; a bogwood pipe i ■would convey the idea of Treland; a bale of cotton would mean New Orleans-'if you did not guess Lyons to be the ante cedent of a piece of silk brocade, your" •wife or daughter—" the man frowned again—"would give you the hint. Tea - would be for Ceylon, a pot of baked beans for Boston, a piece of iron tor Pittsburg. ...You see there are great pos sibilities. : - ---, . "When the pruest started on the guess- Ing tour, the host rang a bell and calied All aboard.* At a certain point he stop ped the .excursion. and the guests went to a postoffice, fitted up in: one corner and got their mail. This consisted of illustrated postal cards, : souvenirs irom foreign, places" of interest. - When the guessing was over, refreshments were' ser\ed at a lunch counter, such- as one" nnus 111 stations. The prizes for the best gu«*ing were -.traveling articles. -Good idr.i: don't you think so?" ::>.■ -_ : ?■ nifT'fil I .
