The game OF the Book Of Fate Is one
that taxes the memory rather severely.
The leader takes a pack OF cards. two
or three OF which he distributes 20 each
player. fesefving TO himself the re-
mainder. which he Is at liberty to con-
suit when necessary-he having moth
ing to do with the game beyond his
Office OF superintendent.
Each player conceals his cards care
fully from his neIghbor.
The distribution concluded. the leader
asks the player nearest to him. Have
you read the Book Of Eater
The answer Is. Il have read the Book
OF Fate"

card Is not in the reserve pack. the
ether players examine their cards. and
the one in whose hand Il is found lays
the card on the table and gives Il to
the leader. The holder Of the card pays
forfeit and acauits the manner OF It.
The player who previously interrosated
now becomes the qpestioner and In

on till all the cards have returned TO
the hands OF the leader.
In course OF having to name 80 many
cards 1t Is natural that there should be
some repetitIons; the inattentive player
who forgets the cards that have been
already named pays a forfeit. The lead
er must take care TO keep apart from
the rest Of the pack the cards that have
been already named. TO conceal them
from the players. 80 a. 60 give no hint
OF what has gone before. and 20 consult
them every time a fresh card IL named.
Any card named and found In the

than measles. or chicken pox, or
mumps, or whooping cough, or getting
vaccinated. Be sure to tell that to the
boys too. On the way to Jacksonville
ate a lot of candy and things, and
now wish I'd saved them until I got
better. They didn't do me any good.
The way you feel when you are taken
low with the seasickness is. first, your
stomach feels queer and your knees
wabble, and your head goes round.
Then you put your head over the rail-
ing of the ship and think you are 60

were dead and gone. and you don't care
whether there are any flowers at your
funeral. Uncle Belam gave me half
