A Simple Little Trick Mt Once Eff
fectfve and Mysterious.
Here Is a trick that is always effec-
tive, and, while IT is very simple in
deed, still it is bound to appear just a
wee bit mysterious, and many. espe-
ciaIIy your little brothers and sisters,
will be unable to explain it.
Take two ordinary claret glasses and
ill one to the brim with claret and the
other equally full with clear water.
Cover the top Of the glass containing
water with an ordinary visiting card
so that there are no places around the
edge uncovered by the card. Turn the
glass upside down and place 1t on the
top Of the glass containing claret and
adjust the glasses so that their edges
meet exactly all the way around.
Now move the card slightly to one
side so that there Will be a little space
at one side Of the glasses inside uncov-
cred by a card. at once a thin stream
Of claret will begin to rise through this
space, not mixing with the water at

fined. The water, too, VIII begin to de-
scend into the glass containing the
claret, a pure, glistening white stream

moment the claret VIII begin to spread
about the top OF the upper glass like

mix, but will present a delightful con-
trast of red and white with sharply de-
fined edges.
In very short time the claret and

Bonsal are the promoters of this novel
scheme of entertainment and exercise.
The members are to walk ten or fifteen
miles on a stretch.
The women Will wear short walking
skirts and hats adapted for comfort
rather than picturesque effect For
each excursion n different route and
destination will be arranged. and an
Informal dinner at country clubhouse
or the country residence of a friend
will be strong inducement to spur
laggards on to finish the course, not to
speak of the prospect of a social after
noon around n real hearth fire.

into which carriages may be driven
