In view of the large number of All 4 Fools' Day parties that have been planned in Richmond, the Community Service Monday announced a number of suggestions for stunts and games for that occasion. The suggestions follow: All Fools' Day Fun The first of April brings light heartedness to everyone who enters into the spirit of the day and enjoys all the foolishness perpetrated. For a party send out just the opposite sort of invitation from what is expected, by making the invitation very formal. But the time for the arrival of the girls on their cards for eight-thirty, and on the men's for nine o'clock. When the girls arrive they may be met by the
hostess mother, who will admit them, but will say that the party is scheduled for tomorrow night, and in the midst of the guests' confusion at this announcement, the hostess will call down "April Fool." After the girls have all arrived, explain to them that the boys thought the party a joke, and that none of them were coming, but you hope they will try to have a good time, anyway. As the hostess has appeared in her kitchen costume, she says they will hunt up some decorations and trim up the house. The girls find these decorations, concealed around the piano, under the davenport, and in all sorts of out of the way places. In the midst of their decorating the boys appear, and the hostess has removed her apron, which concealed her "best dress."
A prize is announced, to be given
a dunce, he can then hold a round hoop upon which may be tied the dinner favors, of dunce caps, whistles, etc. j For the individual places use nut cups . with a cornucopis-shaped piece of pa-' per over it. This makes a good dunce cap when a paper pom pom is added at the to. Cut out a paper clown from . napkins and paste on the cap for deco-; ration. ! Serve mock refreshments as well as real ones. A salad may be made ofi
letture leaves with a joke written onj
eacn lear. ir you are serving a dinner one of the courses may be toothpicks
and water. Baked potatoes stuffed with j cotton, marcaroni laid on toast instead
of asparagus, green paper cabbage heads, candy cigars instead of real ones; salt passed for sugar; salt sprinkled nuts from heavy iron bolts for salted nuts; guest size cakes of toilet soap for the cakes; round balls
of cotton covered with chocolate for;
candy, will cause some guest to make a mistake, causing hilarity for all. Ask the people to use their left hand only when eating. If ever the game of "Barber" was appropriate to play the first of April is the day. Ask all the gentlemen to pass into another room. Shutting the door of the room where the girls are now left.
explain the game to them. Arrange' one chair in front of the room, fori the barber's chair. Secure a couple of j
-jnr.il luwns, aim piace on mis cnair for th use of the first barber. Ar
range the girl3 in a row facing the
at the end of the evening to the per-! barber's chair. Bring in one of the
son fooled the most times and the one
fooled the least times, during the " evening's entertainment. Everyone who must pay a forfeit during the evening ia given a dunce cap. Balloons then were found floating around the room enough to supply each guest with a gayly colored one. Blind Man's Buff. Play the oldfashioned game of Blind Man's Buff, but suddenly all quietly leave the room, which leaves the blinded on? to ' stumble around finding no one. After a while he will become suspicious, remove his blind, and discover the sign "April Fool." Fool's Day Orders. On the backs of your guests you may slyly pin small placards that say such choice things as these: "Please wink at me," "Klnd- " ly repeat my name," "Please sing to me." "Kindly kneel and kiss my hand," and many other such nonsensical orders that will come to your mind. Foolishness for Every Minute
Place a large placard near your wood work with the single word "Paint." Arrange, if at all possible, to have this hung in a narrow space ; through which your guests must pass.
A handkerchief sewed to the davtm
1 port, a quarter pasted on the floor, artificial mice, the pocketbook lying on the floor, that moves when you start
o pick It up; artificial flowers passed
as individual, bouquets all besprinkled
.with red pepper all these will suiely
"catch some of your party,
When you are ready to have the re
freshments served, have- the chairs all tied together, so that when the gentlemen attempt to pull them out, they will not budge. Ask each girl to whistle or sharren A a pencil. Then ask each man to give a demonstration of a girl's vanities, such as arranging her hair or using her vanity case. Did you ever see your plate dance, right before your eyes? This can be accomplished if you take a long narrow piece of tubing. Place a rubber bulb on the end of it, under the guest's place. When the bulb, underneath the take at your end is squeezed, it pushes he air into the little fiat bulb underneath the guest's place and raises the plate. Stuff a mask making wire body and stuff a pair of stockings. Costumed as
men from the other room for your ac
complice in this "act". He is hidden
behind a curtain or a big chair, just back of the barber's chair. Now the stage is all set for the game. One of the gentlemen is told he may hav a shave or a massage, or any other tonsorlal attention, and that he mcy choose any of the ladies seated in tho row before him, as his barber. The lady chosen then steps forward, take-? one of the towels from the back of the barber's chair, and blintlfolds her "patient". While the same "patient." waits for the expected haircut, the p.ccomplice man who of couse is hidden, noislessly steps forward, and verv gently kisses the "patient" either on the lips or the cheek. The "patient" does the rest. After he has torn the blind from his reddened face, and has
caught his breath, the accomplice is ! fhown to him. If you have never played this game, you will find that the expression on the men's faces is a whole evening's entertainment in itself. When the next man is brought in the first "patient" becomes the accomplice, and is nearly always an excellent one, as it is his only way of "paying back." The Parting Shot. In the room where the wraps have been left, place in the powder boxes on the dressing table, plain everyday flour. The funny mirrors that make your face look too round or too flat as the case may be, may also be found
by the "powder". If you would watch your guests remove thread from their coats, as they are leaving, slip off to the room where the wraps havo been placed early in
the evening, put a spool of different colored thread in each coat pocket. Thread the loose end, sewing it out through the material, and leaving ibe end on the coat lapel, or the sleeve, as the case may be. It will prove to be the last happy straw.
TO DARKEN HAIR APPLY SAGE TEA
MOTHER! Open Child's Bowels with "California Fig; Syrup" "
Look Young! Bring Back Its Natural Color, Gloss and Attractiveness.
Common garden sage brewed into a Teavy tea with sulphur added, will turn gray, ftreaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just a few applications will prove a revelation if your hair is fading, streaked or
fray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sul-!
1 hur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get a bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound at any drug store all ready for use. This is the old-time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients. While wispy, gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractiveness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, because it does It so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared, and, after another application or two, your hair become beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant.

Hurry mother! Even a sick child love3 the "fruity" taste of "California Fig Syrup" and it never fails to open the bowels. A teaspoonful today may prevent a sick child tomorrow. If constipated, bilious, feverish, fretful, has cold, colic, or if stomach is sour, tongue coated, breath bad remember a good cleansing of the little bowels Is often all that is necessary. Ask your druggist for genuine "California Fig Syrup" which has directions
for babies and children of all ages printed on bottle. Mother! You must
say "California" 'or you may get an imi
tation fig syrup. Advertisement.

Nearly half a miltton Coronas now in use BUSINESS men keep Corona at home and call it their . "private secretary." Salesmen carry it on the road and save time and stenographic hire.

Almost every well-known author, newspaper correspondent, playwright and scenario writer owns a Corona. The sturdiest of all typewriters People who do not know, are apt to think that a typewriter weighing only 6 pounds can't be as strong as a heavy cast-iron machine.
But the fact is that no typewriter in the world has proved itself able to stand the punishment Corona has taken during its 16 years of service. All through r the war, thousands of Coronas were in use on every battle front. Almost every war correspondent carried his Corona.
