The Camn Game.

Select two gentlemen as captains, who in
turn call the names of those they desire to
enter their particular camp. When di-
vision of the company has thus been made
the camps separate, each having one room.
They then select some word or words de-
noting a substance or object, as, for exam
pie, the loud pedal of the piano, in the Pro-
file house, in the White mountains, or the
dragon flies painted on the ceiling of the
bath room in the House of Pansa in Sara
toga, or any other thing seemingly i'm
possible to guess.
When both camps have decided on an
object to be guessed the captain Of each de-
tails a person to be interviewed by the
other camp. This person must correctly
answer, by yes or no, all questions, but
must not convey any unnecessary informa-
ton. As soon as the object is guessed the
camp Immediately clap, so announcing
that they are the victors, and the indi-
vidual who has been questioned becomes
a member of the enemy's camp. The one
possessing the most people at the close of
an hour is the winner of the game.-Emma
j. Gray in Good Housekeeping.

Pretty Pillows.

An effective pillow for couch is made
from four of the small Turkish squares or
small japanese squares of embroidery.
The squares are set together with an in
sertion of stout white or ecru lace, and
colored ribbons that match the colors of
the squares are run through the insertion.
Such pillow seen had the embroidered
squares in pink and dark olive, and the in
sertion run with ribbons of the same colors.
The back of the pillow was olive surah silk
and a cord of the two colors edged the
pillow.
A pillow for an infants cradle is beauti-
ful made in the same way. Take four small
and fine white linen doilies with hem
stitched border and fasten them together
with an insertion of lace. Back the pillow
with fine linen and edge it with frill of
lace, or of fine linen with a narrow lace on
its edge. The pillow itself that is used
under the cover should be of the finest
white hair in a white cotton or coarser
linen case Feathers and down are so heat
ing to the head that the hair pillow is now
considered more hygienic.-New York Post.

The Coin Of Polite Society.

Whenever a kindly or considerable act is
shown you, my DEAR be always careful to
say that magic index TO good breeding
THANK you" Certainly you say it to the
man who has given you an evening of
amusement at the theatre or the concert,
Or who has taken you TO and fetches you
from friends home Towhom else should
you say il?
To the maid servant who hands you your
letters, who makes special point of keep
ing your room in good order, and who, re-
Numbering that you liked certain things
placed in a certain way, was careful always
90 do it.
To the stranger who holds open door
for you, to the elevator man who saves you
climbing so many stairs, TO the man who
gives you a seat in a car or omnibus, and to
anybody, in any station Of life, who shows
you a courtesy of any kind.
We are apt to be very stingy with our
thanks; TO accept things entirely too much
for granted, and to believe, in having
courtesies shown us, that they are only
what we deserve. Now this Is the wrong
way of looking at it, and some day it will
serve that girl right that girl who believes
that the good things Of life in the way Of
pollteness are hers lawfully, and that with
out any effort on her part they can be re-
tanned, will discover her mistake
You can never be too generous with
thank yous; they are the current coin of
polite society. the circulation of which
tends TO make everybody more eager TO do
unto others as they would be done by. No
girl makes a mistake who has thank you
always ready 1t is the index TO a good
character and a loving heart. Politeness
is golden, and thank you is the coin which
passes everywhere and Is recognized by all.

Too Much for Him.

There are some who insist that the
story now being told about prominent
real estate man is not true. The people
who are responsible say that his house
was visited by burglars some time ago.
One waited outside while the other went
in TO do the work. Presently the active
operator appeared with such an air of
detection that the other was moved to
inquire: What is the matter, Bill:
Wasn't there anything worth while in

WHY Women Marry,

You see, she day has gone by when a
man W ould do anything for a woman;
countries need to be either very young or
very old when this sort of thing happens,
but after all / can't help but remember
that question, "Whst do women marry
for?''
Some women marry because they want a
home of their own, and these are my con-
illusions:
Some women marry because they haven't
the moral courage to remain single.
Some women marry because they want
little more money in their purses and a
little larger credit at the shops.
Some women marry because they want
TO put Mrs" on their visiting cards.
Some women marry because their mother
wants them TO-
Some women marry because man
asked them to, and they don't like to
say no.
Some women marry for money-money,
and nothing else. These women get the
money, and with it great responsibilities
they never dreamed of.
Some women marry because they love
the man, because they want to be his wife,
his friend and his helpmate; because they

cherish, and from whom he will receive
love and consideration in return. Because
they want him to feel that if sorrow comes

beside him, and that in the day of JOY there
is one who can give him smile for smile

Marriage and Property.

From every point of view | think it is
time that we got rid of with all my
worldly goods | thee endow." The mar
ried women's property act, 1882, has put it
out of date. Under the common law this
declaration of unlimited endowment was
proper enough. All the wife's worldly
goods passed to the husband, and it was
only fair that she should enjoy (theoretic-
ally reciprocal rights in her husbands
substance. But the act has changed all
that. Matrimony no longer affects the
lady's rights in her property. She need
not endow her husband unless she likes;
why, then, should he endow her? The
busineSslike plan would be for each to
state in figures the precise amount of en-
dowment contemplated-wheth it is a
nobleman endowing his cook or a duchess
or baroness endowing some young spark
whom she has fancy to make her hus-
band.-London Truth.

Professor LoweII,s siste-.

1t is not generally known that James
Russell Lowell has sister who has gained
some literary fame, and whose scholarship
and gifts entitle her TO wide recognition.
Mary Trail Spence Lowell was born in
1910, and is nine years the senior of her dis
tinguished brother. In 1882 she married
MIR. Samuel K. Putnam, and since that
time her home has been in Boston, where
she still lives in her house on Beacon street.
Mrs. Putnam is noted as linguist, and
has written some very able papers on
Polish and Hungarian literature, and in
1861 she published book called Records
of an Obscure Man" Soon after she pub
lished a dramatic poem called The
Tragedy of Errors and Tragedy of Sue
cess" and on the death of her father, the
Rev. DR. Charles Lowell, Mrs. Putnam
wrote the memorial of his life.-New Or

Where to Put on a chiId's Wraps.

There is another thing that mothers and
nurses often do thoughtlessly, land with no
end of evil results to the children. This is
the habit of dressing them for their out of
door drive or walk in the warm nursery,
and then letting them stand around for
some time while the nurse gets herself
ready. For that is the usual practice. The
nurse dresses the baby first, even to gloves
and tiDpet, and then she begins leisurely
on the details of her own toilet. Mean
while the little one waits about in the
warm room, getting warmer and warmer,
until at last, when it gets into the outer
air, it is in perspiration that will induce
a chill at once.
A child should not have its wraps put
on until the very last moment. And then
it should be done, not in a warm room, but
in the hall from which it should be car
ried as soon as the operation is completed.
In that way the change in temperature is
modified as much as is possible, and the
liability to cold is greatly lessened.-New
York Evening Sun.

Formerly a married woman was in a
condition of civil vassalage Marriage
merged her existence in that of her hGs-
band; vested him with her personal prop
erty; allowed him her earnings; gave him
her land rents, and disabled her from
making any binding contract. She could
enter no suit, nor make will, and gener-
ally she was subject to the control of her
husband, who could enforce his order with
the birch.
Such, for centuries, was her condition in
the mother country, and Blackstone com
placently concluded his chapter on the
subject by congratulating the female sex
on being so great favorite with the laws
of England" In Pennsylvania, too, her
status for 200 years was the sEsle. 1t was
not until the year of grace 1S4S that her
property was relieved from the control of
her husband or liability to his creditors.
In 1850, by her husband joining, she was
given power TO recover her property by
suit. In 1851 she was allowed to loan

that effect. In 1873 she was empowered to
sell her land if she proved her husband a
lunatic. and in 1887 some other privileges
were granted, as to which lawyers differ.
That these rights were so long withheld

was ever necessary for a woman TO receipt

Make the Tea Table Attractive.

No domestic sight is pleasanter in its
way than a tea table on a cold winter
night, spread with bright cloth and set
out with dainty china and shining silver,
and with all the cheer inspiring appur-
tenances of the tea tray, with the plate of
hot bread, the savory dish of hot meat,
and the little relishes that the housekeep-
ers know well how to supply. And in
summer its counterpart is seen in the
table laid in the room frightened by the
level suns rays, where crisp salad, piles
of white and brown bread, and a plate of
rusk or tea biscuit, pitchers of milk, and
dish of berries with cream galore revive
the fainting appetites and spirits of those
who have borne the heat and burden of
the day.-Harper's Bazaar.
