assembled together. Now, here is one, which
we will call THE TRIBUNE Game, and which
little thought and care may make as varied
aud interesting as you choose. OF course, you
can ask any questions you like; the more you
ask the greater the merrimeGt. There Is no
romping in the game, but any amount OF fun,
pure and simple. This is the way to begin
your game.
Prepare a lot of small pieces of paper, each
large enough 10 write the word " les or NO,
and then choose some one quick at asking
questions, to be known as Asker" Or, you
may take yoar turns at asking questions, as
greater variety is thus secured, since no two
minds think just alike.
The asker distributes to each a slip of paper,
upon which must be written Yes" or " No,
but no one must know what the other has
written and OF course, the one asking the
questions must not know. When you are ali
through writing, the asker, beginning at the
right, goes on with his questions. As he ad-
dresses yOu hand him your folded paper, when
he reads il aloud The fun will depend partly
upon the confusion of questions and answers,
and largely upon the asker, who, if he is quick
and bright, and proceeds rapidly, in hap-haz-
Zard way, may create quite carnival of fun.
We will suppose case, giving questions, with
the answers rs they generally, on the law of
contrarieties. come out:
Question. DO you wish you were dudeS
Answer. Yes.
@. Is the world round?
A. No.
Q. Was your grandmother an ape?
Q. Is the moon made of green cheese?
A. Yes.
@. Do you wish you were Guteau?
A. Yes.
Q. Do you like THE NATIONAL TRIBUNEP

1t will be noted, as a singular coincidence,
that the last question is the only one in which
the answer comes out right.

FAYoRITE BEDsPREAD.
A fayorite bedspread just now is the work
of patient fingers and really looks very pretty.
Small pieces of white muslin are cut in circles
of about four inches in diameter, and the edges
OF the circles are then gathered-a tiny turn
ing-in being made-and drawn togther. When
a sufficient number are made, join them TO-
gether so that a diamond-shaped opening will
appear between every group of four. Each
circle along the margin of the spread generally
has tassel Of white cord upon ii, though the
upper and lower ends need not be trimmed if
they are to be tucked in. Pale blue or pink
cambria is usually put underneath spread of
this kind, and pillow shams are made to match.
Such spreads are said TO keep clean for a long
time, and, after being washed, should be
Strengthened by hand, not ironed.
