A LAWN GAME.
Entertaining sport for Limited
space.

Entertaining sport for Limited
space.
A game which requires much skill
Ind practice in order to win satisfae-
tory score is played with a cue, balls ana
ring fastened in the ground.
The game is fayorite and one easily
possible, even if the space at ones COM
mand is limited.
A circular space is challled of OF any
dimensions desired. In the center OF
the circle is a revolving ring made OF
iron or brass. 1t has a shank. and when
it is TO be used a large wooden peg is
driven into the ground. with the top
little below the surface. and into it
hole is bored large enough to receive
the shank of the ring and 10 let il re-
volve freely. Half the fun of the game
consists in having ring only just large
enough 10 let the ball pass through.
and the ring must be so neatly poised
as to revolve with touch. The best
plan for securing this is 10 havea metal
socket let into the wooden peg. II so,
care must be taken that the socket be
brass. II the ring is iron. and the re-
verse. Both shank and socket should be
kept well oiled. The cues have wooden
handles and a metal tip. which is ring
shaped ard fixed at an angle with tile
handle. This formation enables the
ball to be better played than if The cue
and tip were in line. The balls. about
one foot in circumference. are Of rubber
and are very hard; each one is painted
with a rim around the center Of dif-
ferent color Each player has her own
cue and ball.
The object OF the game is to pass
the bal through the revolving ring. and
tie player scores a point every time she
succeeds. There is in this game more
play than At first appears. II, for ex-
ample a player in sending her ball
through the ring strikes another ball
either before or after, she adds two to
her score If player finds the ring |
turned edgewise toward her she can |
either place her own ball so as 10 OBJ |

or by deXtrous play at the ring turn |

a ball belonging to her own team so
as to put il into position or win strike
away the ball of an opponent who seems
likely to make successful stroke.
A really good player win often con.
trive to pass the ring. even though /.
be almost edgeways to her. If the ring
be turned in the least to one side or
the other she will play al il with a pc
culiar push of her cue and strike ii o
little on one side. If this is properly
done and with moderate force the ring
spins round and catches the ball in is
progress. The effect of this sudden
shock is that the ball vibrates back
wards and forwards for a moment. and
finally settles on the opposite side
II must be borne in mind that the
ball cannot be pushed through the ring
with the cue touching it. neither may
it be thrown through. r. American

HINTS FOR THE BATH.
Intended for the BENEFIT of the
Ladies'.

Bathing after n nap is injurious
a rough bathing towel is better for
any kind of a bath than a smooth one.
For protecting the hair during a
shower bath or in a large plunge a cap
Of waterproof silk is light and com
Portable.
The rule is: Hot water for the bath
tub, cold water for the shower bath,
water Of normal temperature for the
plunge.
1t is hardly necessary TO remind the
bather that weakened digestion is the
resultofbathing within an hour ofa full
meal.
If the temperature of the bath water
is either above or below normal the
face and edges of the hair should
be thoroughly moistened with the water
before the plunge is made.
One should never stay in tub bath
more than ten minutes, nor in a shower
bath over two. In plunge bath one
may safely stay 20 minutes, as the ex-
ercise prevents bad effects.
y return from a dusty trip or ride
in the wind should be followed by a hot
rather than cold bath. The escaping
steam induces perspiration and the hot
water washes out the fine dust
If one is contemplating the necessity
of exposure 10 sun or wind a coldwater
bath is better than warm one. as il
toughens the skin and makes it firmer
in its resistance to unfayorable con-
ditions.
The strained juice OF three lemons, II
put in the bath water, will give one de-
licious sense of cleanliness. The acid
removes all stopPage of the pores caused
by the accumulation of saline sub
stances.
The bather who has had recommended
TO her cold water baths and who cannot
overcome her repugnance of them may
be sure that this shrinking is the warn
ing of a delicate constitution that the
treatment is too drastic.
BY procuring two cents worth Of
coarse rock salt and allowing il little
time to dissolve the equivalent of a sea
bath may be had. This is a healthful
way of bathing. as salt invigorates the
slim and quickens the action Of the
glands in the skin.
