BRIGHT PROSPECTS. All Nature D ies and Lives Again.” ' : 'V - Dame Nature is fast turning the foliage of the deciduous trees to their Autumnal tints, and soon they will have assumed their sombre-hued winter appearance. But while plant life seems to be dying and dreary winter at hand, the prospect is made brighter by the anticipation of the enjoyment to bo found in indoor amusements during the long evenings. Hundreds of warmhearted, hospitable hostesses are now planning one kind or another 0.,r social, parties, where both young and old will find enjoyment. It may be an evening for Parlour Games.
