A Pretty Flag Game.

very pretty and interesting game may be played with a sheet of paper or card board, on which are painted the flags of all nations. The sheet may be prepared by any one that has little talent for drawing. and though 1t may entail some trouble 1t will doubly pay for itself.
 It Is not hard to find colored pictures of the flags; almost any good gazetteer or big die tionary contains such sheet. They should be copied in proper order on the paper or cardboard and colored in water colors.
 When the copying is done, put a number under each flag Instead of the name of the nation 1t belongs to, and hang the sheet on the wall where all the players may see it. Give a sheet of. paper to each player. with list of the numbers written down the left hand margin.
 Now, aIlot a certain time-say half an hour within which the players are to write op- posite each number the name of the nation to which that particular flag belongs. When the time has expired each player signs his or her list and hands it to the leader, who ex- amiues them all and awards the prize to the one having the most names right.
 miniature American flag. made of silk, would be suita ble prize to offer.

What Does My Lady Want?

Word building, word guessing, geograp phil cal and other instructive games are all en- joyed by young people, but there comes time when they wish and need something in the nature of romp. good game of this kind is played by seating the boys and girls around the room, with plenty of space iu the center. and giving to each payer the name of some article used by lady when she makes her toilet, such, for example, as hair brush, comb, hairpin, shoes, bonnet, gloves, &c.
 The players having been thus named, the leader, previously selected takes his stand in the middle of the room, holding wooden plate, circular tray or any similar object that may be twirled around on the floor. TO begin the game he twirls the plate on the floor as hard as he can and speaks some sen tence in which he uses the name of one of the toilet articles. The player who bears that name must then leave his seat and try If he fails to do so he must pay forfeit of some kind if he succeeds he takes the twirlers place.
 The twirler generally speaks sentence like this: My lady is going out and she wants her gloves.' The player whose name is Gloves then rushes to the plate and tries to catch it before 1t stops twirling.
 The twirier has right at any time to cry out the single word "Toilet!' and when he does all the players have to change seats. The player who does not get one takes the place of the twirler and also pays forfeit The twirler himself Is sure to get seat for he watches his opportunity as he cries out the word.
 Forfeits are redeemed at the end of the game, and this may be made entertaining by requiring the forfeit payers to do all sorts of funny things.

Kew Watch Fob Fad.

4 queer fad has just reached the children of New York and threatens to sweep over the whole country. It Is the weaving of shoe laces into watch fobs. The laces come in both black and colors, and the principal object of the youngsters during the present football season is to make the fobs of any two colors representing the various colleges. Some of the fobs are round and others are square, and they are all finished by ringing out the lsces at the bottom and making the loop at the top to fasten on button or in buttonhole. @aEf
 So great has been the demand for the coli ored laces that the dry goods stores were en- tirely sold out of them this week, and one clerk had been kept busy after school hours doing nothing but supplying scores of boys and girls with laces. About four o'clock in the afternoon 1t was almost impossible for anyone to get into this store on account of the crowd of youngsters waiting their turn to reach the counter.
 The fad lad gone across the river into the Bronx, so that nearly every child one meets in any uptown section Of the city has a fob fastened on somewhere.
 The eolors of Princeton, Yale, Columbia and the University of Pennsylvania are those most often seen, and some enterpris- ing youngsters stood outside the Polo Ground before the recent games and sold numbers of the fobs to the college students and their friends as they were about to en- ter the gates. e&
 The selling price is i've cents. while the cost of a pair of ,aces is one cent. so, as the time consumed. in making the fob is only ten minutes, there is good clear profit of four cents for the maker,

 "Schwartzpferdchen! !Schwartzpferdchen!" cried the knight in alarm. Have care! Have care! Ah. see, you have caused me to drop the crystal flask. Now, alas! we shall never be able to carry the red color away from the Moon Man.
 It was true The crystal vial had fallen to the ground and lay in a thousand pieces scattered miles below on the ground of the fiat country, When the pieces were found the people believed that the Green Knight ha failed In his mission.
 Meanwhile he and Schwartzpferdchen were flying nearer and nearer to the moons red disk, while the Green Knight puzzled his brains to know how he should carry the red color back to the maidens, for he was deter mined to get 1t from the Moon Man.
 Suddenly he heard great voice shouting:-~
 "Halloo! Halloor'
 He leaned forward on Schwartzpferdchen back and shouted back as loudly as he could, "Halloo! HalloO!'

 Here is where the fun comes in, for many of the dra awings will prove to be rather hard to make out. The player who guesses the greatest number of animals receives the cardboard as a prize.

For, alack and alas. though 1t grieyes me to The horrible truth, am forced to relate That Sir Hector, though reckoned so brave and so bold, Who never would finch when foe he'd behold,

 So sweet and fair
 That he could not dare Of her merry favors to claim share.
 At her mischievous look
 He trembled and shook And he couldn't do what he undertook. He could bravely face savage foe, But not Rosine meath the mfstletoe.
 Though he dared advance
 Against spear and lance, He could not parry the maiden's glance. Again and again Sir Hector tried For the sake of his dignity, honor and pride, And at last, although he was aWfully scared, To kiss the maiden he almost dared,
