also have violet.
4 The lonelies, however, must content
themselves with dry sticks for mark
ers.
The only other articles required in
pardS are three throw sticks. These
are made easily by cutting the branch
of some tree or plant into two pieces
of equal length (about three or four
inches is a good size) splitting them,
selecting three of as nearly the same
width and thickness as possible and
cutting notch in the rounded side of
-one of these See figure 2.
The order in which the pards play
may be determined by counting out or
by any of the usual ways used by
young fcIRs in regulating such mat
ters.
The girl pard of the couple who have
secured the first play begins by TAX
ing the, three throw sticks, holding
them much as she would pen or a
pencil, shown in figure 2, above the
buffer, and throwing them down upon
it. so that the ends of the throw sticks
strike the buffer as nearly as possible
together and at the same time, and
the sticks themselves bounding off all
inside the circle of posts.
The place in which they fall deter
mines how many posts away from the
starting point the players marker may
be laid. If, in the beginning of the
game for instance, the sticks fall in
such a way as to count five, the player
moves his or her marker to the fifth
post lstick or pebble) from the start
ing point.
The players of one side move their
markers from left to right; the play
ers of the other side move theirs in
the oppOSite direction
If one player, by lucky throw, can
place his or her marker at a post al
ready occupied by another player
marker, this latter is put out" or sent
back to the starting point to begin the
game over again. Pards, however, can
not put each other out; on the con-
trary, if one can place his or her
marker at the post occupied by the
other, the player who does so is en-
titled to another throw.
A lonely cannot be sent back to the
starting point. but when put out, must
go back to the post occupied last by
the marker of the player who put him
or her out.
Any player who can play his or her
marker to the 20th post, or half way
around the circle, can go at once the

A New Game That Can BE Played

A brand new out-of-do game that

Each player selects a "pard" If
girls and boys play together each boy
selects a girl for his "pard." If a
boy or a girl is left over he or she
is called o lonely"
The game can be played also by
parties consisting entirely of boys or
of girls
The first requisite in pards is the
buffer. This may be a good-sized rock,
one with rather fiat top generally
being prefeTred-or the buffer may be
a boy S hat. a hard felt like a derby
or stiff straw hat. A soft hat will
not answer. The buffer is placed on
an open space on the ground, and is
surrounded by a ring of posts. These
may consist of thirty-tw two little sticks
driven in the earth, as shown in figure
l. Every fourth stick is longer than
are the others, and is called a station
The sticks should be about an inch or
more apart.

for what he terms the future garden

a city's various types Of activity In con-
centric circles-the outer circumference
being the railroad lined with factories.
Then would follow a belt of green. and
within that the employees houses. More
strips Of park and more houses alter
nate with churches and schools. The
circle Of retail stores Is within these,
and at the center a beautiful garden
surrounded by the public buildings
which serve the whole city, like the
opera house. the library. the art mu-
scum. and the city hall 50 attrac-
