The news that Gov. Flower had ap-

of the important reform measures
championed by THE World" and passed
by the Legislature, was received with
ordinations of joy by every friend of

It's all the ''go" back east, but the
girls are just learning the game in Los
Angeles and they ale still little afraid
that some might think it nothing more
nor less than gambling. It's loads oil
fun just the came, and nobody has ever
yet learned how to beat the game.
Three young ladies came into popu-
lar Spring street sods.water emporium
Saturday afternoon. Instead of sitting
down and calling for their favorite bev-
ersges, one of them hesitatingly asked
the clerk for city directory. Then che
took out OF her purse q newspaper clip
ping which evidently told all about the
game, aud consulted it.
"You turn first, Sue," che said.
Sue opened the directory. One OF the
girls looked over her shoulder and put
down figure on piece of paper
Now turn again." said the girl with
the clipping.
''Three times, isn't it?"
"Yes, three times."
A figure went down on the tab the tall,
slender girl was keeping for each time
the brown>haired girl opened the direc-
tory.
Then the other two girls went through
the same procedure and the three col
umns were added up.
'Oh! it's on Asal You're stuck,
Ada" and two of the girls danced
around in glee while the third looked at
the three rows of figures again.
"Yes. Pm stuck" she said. and they
all took orange phosphate. while Ada
paid for it all.
They simply open the directory three
times apiece and put down the last figure
of the page number turned to each time,
and the girl whose row figures up the
least pays for the drinks.
OF course it isn't anything like the
horrid dice shaking the msn do, but it's
just awfully jolly, the young ladies say.
