I'm the first instance you must be care
ful to avoid letting the two pieces,

instance, on the contrary, by an i'm
percepible movement Of the hand, you
turn the knot between your fingers; the
two lines of string are thus crossed at

GERMAN PHlLOPENA.

How tho Gamo Is Played by the Young
People in tho Vaterland.
The German method of managing the
pleasant play of philopena is as follows:'
When a couple meet after eating phil
opena together no advantage is taken
Of the other until one of them pro-
nounces the word ''philopena-" This is
the warning that now the sport Is to be-
gin.
Let us suppose that a gentleman calls
upon lady. She invites him to walk
in and at the same time speaks the tai
ismanic word. If he accepts the offer
to walk in he is lost, unless she removes
the ban by telling him to go away.
If she asks him to take off his hat he
must resolutcly keep it on; if to be
seated he must stand, or if at the table
she should hand him any article which
he accepts she wins the forfeit.
During all this time he cndcavors to
take her by surprise. for the acceptance
Of any offer from tho other wins the
game. Both are constantly exercising
their wits to prevent being caught, and
the sport often goes on all the evening.
Perhaps the gentleman brings little
present and says: "Knowing that I
shall lose my philopena, have brought
it along-here it is" If she is caught
off her guard by the smooth speech she
loses, for he Immediately claims forfeit.
If neither wins ut the first meeting
the sport is continued to the second, and
it may happen that half dozen parties
meet at the same time, all anxious to
win OF their philopena partners, so that
the scene often becomes ludicrously
amusing. 1t is diamond cut diamond"
in very truth.--N. Y. World. "
