Do you ever play domino whist It Is the

superseding other games involving a mini

spot he is elected 10 put a check in the pot.
Then the next person takes up the game
and plays a seven spot-if he can-and after
a seven spot is placed on the table the other
cards in sequence are placed, eight spots being
placed on the right and six spots on the left
OF the seven spot. Every time a person can
not play a card on one of the four piles in the
center OF the table, down goes n check to the
bottom Of the pot When some one plays his
last card the game is at an end, and he takes
a check for each card held by the other three
players when the game ceased.-St. Louis Re

nothing new under the sun until n bonnet

bring an old hat or bonnet, with feathers,
flowers, ribbons and laces for trimming; the
more old fashioned and ridiculous the better.
When the evening came each lady arrived
carrying packages Of all shapes and sizes.
The gentlemen looked on in blank amazement
The bounets and hats were all placed on a ia
BILE in the back parlor, and all the trimmings
on another table. Such a collection! The
gsrrets had all been ransacked, and the re
suit was truly amazing. When the guests
had all arrived cards were passed TO the la

When the bOnnets were all trimmed the re-
suit was truly astonishing, and when the la
dies donned them it was still more 50. Then
the ladies voted for the best bonnet, and the
worst trimmed one, A black sailor hat, real.
ly trimmed very artistically, took the head
prize. A bonnet with flowers on one side,
feathers on the other, in the most comical
arrangement, and wide strings, took the
BOBBY prize, which was a gentleman's black
