TO MY LADY'S SLEEVE.

"Oh. frigid fairl mark well my pain;
Behold me as / grieve.
Something hath come betwixt us twain;
1t is my lady's sleeve"
There was a time her arm in mine
She was content to leave.
Far from her side 1 woeful pine,
Divided by her sleeve.
Once round her waist my hand I pressed
A kiss / did achieve,
But now she spurns me coldly. lest
Icrush my lady's sleeve.
Oh, fatal fullness, furs and frills,
That all my hopes deceive!
Oh, fertile source of lovers illsl
Oh, nightmare of the sleeve.
Fain would I gage my lady's troth;
Full fain would | believe
That mines the heart she is SO loath
To wear upon her sleeve.
There's Dick and Harry. Tom and Jack,
Who each her smiles receive.
tremble, hating all the pack,
Lest some knave's up her sleeve.
Ye arbiters of fatel Ye gods
Who women's fashions weave!
Forbear to put us 'gainst such odds
AS prove my lady's sleeve.
To Redfern. Fenwick, Worth, / call,
Grant us poor men %reprieve!
To ladies' ~tailors, one and all,
Take in my lady's sleeve!

Electric Light and CoIors.

Storekeepers know that the electric
light is almost as good fer matching
colors as daylight, but they generally
use the arc light. The light given by
an incandescent lamp is often little
less yellow than a gas flame, and this
leads some people into error. A daily
paper complains that yellow and pink
cannot be distinguished by electric
light; that hel1otrope assumes a pinky
hue. and that many delicate gradations
of shade are quite lost under the light
of the modern illuminant. Pale blae
also loses some of its glory, but green
is vastly improved. Bright crimson
looks well if artistically and effectively
toned down, and some shades of prim-
rose are especially beautiful. Wrinkles.
it is said, are mercilessly shown up,
and the complexion that is not of ma
lures making becomes flat and CHASTITY
in the truthful light. For this reason
the electric light is not popular with
many people, but the knowing hostess
secures all its beautiful effects and
makes everlasting friends of her lady
guests by covering every lamp with u
shade of yellow silk. Chicago Record.

The player viii, very often, do the very
thing he was required by the company
TO do.
There is no general agreement as TO
why this should be the case. IL Is argued
by some that the players mind is really
influenced by that Of the one who holds
his hand. Others maintain that the success
Of the experiment is usually the result OF

conscious muscular movements what is
to be done. Ii is generally found that GER
tain players succeed better when they are
leaders. and others when they are lead.
Instead OF merely taking hands, the play
or who goes out often holds the back OF
the others hand against his forehead.
Sometimes. the one who goes out holds no

think very earnestly of what they have
agreed he shall do.

one can witness the hilarity and DOWN
right run the following games afford with
out longing TO participate In them.
The first strictly Christmas game ever
invented is appropriately enough styled
Going to Jerusalem" The players sit at
first In two rows of chairs placed closely
back TO back in the middle of a room. A
march is played on che pianoforte, or
some one not In the game may sing or
whistle. AS soon as the music begins,
all rise and march in line around the
chairs. While they are marching some one
who IS not playing takes away one chair
from the end of the line. The music
stops suddenly, and all who can do so
sit down. OF course, one player is left
standing as one chair has been taken
away, and that player is out of the game.
The music begins again, and the game
goes on, a new chair being taken away
each time until only one player is left.
lie has then got to Jerusalem" the
rules Of the game are: % that no one
must touch a chair while marching on
penalty OF being put out Of the game; (2)
that If two players sit on the same chair
at once the umpire shall decide which has
the right to it, and in case OF doubt, may
order the players to march again, and.
CD the person who removes the chair
shall act as umpire.
The Knight Of The Whistle Is the name
n1er which a far-more amusing game is
known. The game is really a trick. The
victim of il is told that the game" con-
sists in passing whistle arodnd a circle
of players, who are seated, while one
standing in the middle is required TO
find it by it's sound as it is blown from
time 70 time Whoever counts out" for
the game must arrange that the player
in the middle is some one who does not
know the trick. which is played thus:
The whistle is fastened 20 one end Of a
string about a foot and a half long, at
the other end OF which is a bent pin.
The pin is hooked into the clothes of
the player i'm the middle Of the ring, so
that the whistle always hangs behind
him II is blown by some one, and the
seeker turns quickly TO ind it. thus car
rying it i'm front Of some one else who
blows II again. The victim OF the trick
is thus kept turning from side TO side TIL
he discovers the deception. The pin can
be hooked into his clothes without his
noticing 1t by making him kneel down and
close rs eyes, and then, after going
through a mock ceremony, declaring him
a knight of the whistle" and striking
him on the back; while this is going on
the whistle can be attached to him un-
observed. The players should pretend 10
pass the whistle from one to another TO
heghten the illusion.
Bookbnder is another holiday-time diver
sion that looks simple and tame but can
be made highly exciting. Any number or
persons sit in a circle, each holding
book on the back Of his clinched fists.
