recommend the Norman Tailor system as being one

Constance Clay: During this vacation have ar
ranged new play for my older pupils, and tho we
have tried it but few times we find it as instruc-
tive as entertaining. I have taken the liberty of

game is prepared by using advertising any other
large cards that are blank on one side, and writing
familiar quotations, appending the authors name
after each. No two cards must contain the same
quotation and be very sure to make mistake as

seven, leaving some in the cushion to be drawn by
unsuccessful answers. The correct answer discards
pin to the cushion. If counted by cards. draw
from or discard to the pack, according to the cor

first who gets clear of all pins or cards If by the
latter the players have those only that dealt to
