A German PhiIOpena.

The German method of managing the
pleasant play of philopena is as follows
When couple meets after eating a
philopena together, no advantage is taken
of the other until one of them pronounces
the word "philopena.' This word is the

us suppose that gentleman calls upon
a lady. She invites him 90 walk in, and
at the same time speaks the talismanic
word If he accepts the order TO walk in
he is lost, unless she moves the ban by
telling him to go away If she asks
him to take off his hat he must resolutely
keep it on; if to be seated he must stand
or If at table she should hand him an
al article which he accepts. she wins the
forfeit. During all this time he endeav-
ors to take her by surprise, for the ac-
ceptance of any offer from the other wins
the game. Both Iare constantly exercis-
ing their wits to prevent being caught
aad the sport goes on all the evening.
Perhaps the gentleman brings a little
present, and says, Knowing that | shall
lose my phiIopena, / have brought IT
along: here it is If she is caught off
her guard by the smooth speech. she
loses, for he Immediately claims the for
felt. If neither wins at the first meeting
the sport is continued TO the second, and
it may happen that half dozea parties
meet at the same time, all anxious to win
their philopena partners, 50 that the
scene often becomes ludicrously amusing.
1t is diamond cut diamond, ia very
truth.
