King rows F and Fl are inside this, and
in the center is a goal which may be
circular or decorated fancifully. The
king rows are colored in tints differing
from the ordinary checker squares, but
serve much the same purpose. The
game runs up to ten points in the goal,
the player who makes this number first
winning. The rules of the game are
those of ordinary checkers, the object
being to cut down the enemy while adj
vancing ones men by the usual moves

These waists are simply made with

however, more unbecoming than the

straight edge, which has either too
much wavy fullness in the skirt part
for elegance, or is too light as is often

Care of Furniture.

The woodwork of good furniture
needs some more attention than simple
busting 1t should periodically be well
polished with small quantity of olive
oil rubbed in until all oiliness has dis
appeared. Cloth, damask and chintz
covered furniture should be brushed and
rubbed with sifted bran, applied with
flannel. Polished dining tables are
kept bright if briskly rubbed with olive
oil. Metal knobs and brass drawer han
dies are easily frightened by the appli-
cation of metal polish.
