yourself, but games that not many

is one that ought to suit a good many

VIII paper and pencil. Each person
is given a piece of paper and a pen
Gil and is told to write her opinion of
somebody; one whom every one who is
playing the game knows, if possible,
Th1s opinion need not be elaborate or
long. You need only say, ''the per-
son I am telling my opinion of is''-
and then just put down few adjec-
tlVes, such as jolly, pretty, witty, lazy,
inventive and so on, making them as
long as you please. You must have at
least three descriptive adjectives.
Do not put either your name or
that OF the person you are writing
about on. the paper, but when you have
finished fold the paper SO that what
you have just written cannot be seen,
and pass it to your left-hand neigh
Dor, who in turn passes hers on. On
the new paper you have had passed
you, without looking at what is writ
ten, write the name of the person you
think that your right-hand neighbor
would have been most likely to have
described, and then when everybody
has done this, put all the slips of
paper ina pile in the center and in
turn each draw one out and saying:
'This is thought to be the opinion
off, and then read the name on the
paper. Open it and read the opinion.
If it happens to be the opinion you
wrote put it back without reading
aloud and take another.
When you have read it you have
the privilege of making one guess as
to whom the opinion is really intend
ed for, and If you guess right the one
who wrote it must acknowledge it
and say whether it: is right or wrong,
and If right pay forfeit. Each one
reads one of the opinions and has the
privilege of one guess After that is
over you can redeem the forfeit.

HE SAW NO SCARCITY.

How Lord Miner Took Expensive
Bath at Johannesburg.
Some of the unfortunate happen
ings in South Africa were caused by
the failure of officials in high places
to note warning conditions which
were obvious to people occupying less
exalted points of view.
Some time before war was declared
there was a water famine in johann
nesburg. The city fairly gasped
with thirst.
The citizens had other grievances,
and it was decided to invite Lord Mil
ner to Johannesburg, and lay matters
before him. The first morning after
his arrival he amazed the hotel at
tendants by ordering a bath. Bath
ing was luxury. which even the
rich were denied at that time. Poor
people had to go unwashed, while the
wealthy dipped daintily into basins
filed with imported English soda
water at two shillings a bottle.
But Lord Miners orders could not
be ignored.
. Fill the tub with soda water!" ex-
claimed the proprietor.
So Lord Miner splashed, all uncon.
scious of the drought and panic his
additions had brought upon the rest
of the establishment.
Later that day. among the griev-
ances submitted to him was the woe.

Fourteen Hidden. Rivers,

Fourteen ftdoen RIVERS.
The following story contains the
names of fourteen rivers, hidden some
where among it's sentences:
We started down the path in single
file, Conrad, Helena, then I, leaving
the yard. Helena had an orange which
she peeled industriously, and Don ran
by her side begging.
'Con, go and get Don bone and we
will leave him behind said Helena,
Don and Mig were Helena's two
dogs.
Conrad ran to do as he was asked,
and on his way back he began gesti.
culating wildly. mig, ere I had time
to closee the gate,' he said, ESCAPED,
and, fearing he would follow us, gave
him a bone, too. heard a lady in the
parlor as I ran past the door reading
somebody's obituary. She was just
back from the MADEIRA Islands, she
said, and had brought mother some
Of her honey" IS
We walked on, and our talk touched
on the obsolete words we knew. when
l was talking about them to Dan
uberous,' said Helena, was the only
one he could remember. Just then J
said, 'Hark!' an sassafras leaves
rustled all about us, and what seemed
to be a Moor in outlandish costume
sprang out of the bushes and fright
ened us very much. We all ran as
fast as we could, but were overtaken
by the Moor, who proved to be only
our own big brother"
See how many of the fourteen rivers
you can ind in this little story:
