Hop Scotch Tiddledy Winks is the
latest modification of the now we'll
known game of Tiddledy Winks. Uhe
game is played with ivory winks upon
a felt mating, marked in the plan of
a Hop Scotch Court. The Cup, or,
as the English say, the budding" is
placed at the curved end of the court.
The game is very simple, but fascina-
ting in the extreme. 1t has great adj
vantages which no other game which
we can readily call to mind has. II
is suited for one or a dozen players.
1t can be used as solitaire game, and
it is especially pleasing at progressive
parties. 1t does not interfere with
conversation while being played, and
is enjoyed as much by middle aged
people as by children ten years of age.
People who consider the ordinary
game of Tiddledy Winks stupid are
delighted with the Hop Scotch idea,

The much-talked-of and grandilo-

is. This convention, so thoroughly ad-

the same position now occupied by per-

am not, however, prepared to say just
what effect this provision would have
upon the volume of our circulating
media. At present. under the existing
system, ninety-two per cent of our
business is done with checks and drafts
and eight per cent with money. 1t is
impossible, however, to ascertain with
any degree of exactitude just how
many times each dollar in existence is
checked or drawn upon. But one
thing. at least seems to me to be clear
ly true. II all certificates of deposit,
except those of time deposits, are made
legal tender there will then be no
money upon deposit subject to check;
hence the volume of circulating media
will be increased by just the amount
of money deposited for less than three
months and in sums Of less than $50,

legal tender quality attached. being of
