where made more evident than
- in their love of games be these
pastimes scientific or simple in
nature. Some kind of relaxation from
the worries and annoyances of life is
absolutely necessary to every one with
the exception of the confirmed nissan
thrope, and even he, 1 doubt not, gets
sort of sad pleasure out of the folly of
his brothers. In summer especially
does this amusement fever break out
with virulence both in open air and
indoor sports, and anything new in this
direction is seized upon with avidity.
We all know what a boon at a sum-
mer resort is the person who constitutes
himself or herself a leader of the revels
and acts as instigator and starter of all
kinds of diversions-in short, keeps the
amusement ball rolling. To be always
in a "Tapleyan' mood and therefore
Jolly" is no sinecure, particularly
when the demand for novel games is apt
to exceed the supply.
During a long summer day golf, ten

claim their devotees. 1t is only when
the shades of night begin to fall that
the sporting element realizes what hard
work has been the pleasure of the day.
Dancing under these circumstances is
too tiresome. Pingpong is on the pop
ular wane and is also too strenuous for
a hot summer night and unless one is
in that blissful state where a solitude
of two is world enough, the company of
ones fellow mortals is usually sought
in a social game of a quiet kind. The
majority find cards the most enjoyable
way of passing an evening playing
either bridge, euchre, bezique or an
uneventful game of poker. But where
the company is promiscuous and
angry passions" are likely to rise and
heighten the temperature many people
will think twice before sitting down tc
play with partners who cross question

come official prices. Any player can sell
or buy cheaper, but not higher, than
the prices marked.
The game begins by the player to the
left of the dealer announcing what he
wishes to buy and sell. If the other
players are willing to deal with him
they are at liberty to do so. When he
has finished, the next player follows
suit. After each round the numbers are
taken off the quotation board and put
in a bag. Failed" going in with the
rest, except in the first and last draw.
When this is drawn out, those who
hold any figure on the stock must for
felt as many counters as there are num-
bers on the cards. In each round the
first player sells two of his cards
whether he buys or not. The player
who shows the greatest value of count

Dee Dee is a very laughable game
on the order of the donkey trick whose
tail had to be replaced. To play this
Dee Dee it is necessary to hang on the
wall the colored picture of a dandy.
The players are blindfolded and go to
the opposite side of the room, walk over
to the dandy and pin on the spot where
it belongs either his hat, eyeglass, neck
tie or buttonhole flower. The contest
ants must not be helped in any way
and no attempt at measuring distance
may be made. The article must be put
on boldly without the slightest hesita-
ton. The successful one is the person
who pins on correctly the greatest num-
Der of adornments.
Lots of fun may be got out of these
games, any one of which is sufficiently
enjoyable to provide pleasant entertain
ment for a summer evening.

Household Hints.

This spring there was introduced q
sandalwood powder in which to pack
away winter clothes in lieu of cam
phor. 1t leaves a delightful odor and is
said to be a good preventive from
moths.

better light if lump of salt about
the size of walnut be placed in the
reservoir of the lamp in which 1t Is
used.
When making cakes. try greasing the
tins with olive oil instead of with but
ter. You will find that the cakes turn
out better.
Chairs should be chosen for comfort
as well as for appearance. The fragile
ones that look as though they would
collapse if a substantial person sat on
them should be abolished from the mod

very zenith. 1t comes to us in divers
forms and fabrics. but its presence is
almost ubiquitous. A recent fad with
the Partisan is pendeloque. fashioned

Owners of jewels should remember
that if turquoises are wet they are apt
to lose color. Pearls should be exposed
to light and air as much as possible,
but not to damp. Opals must never be
exposed to great heat or they may
crack and fall from the setting. Don't

The bold welding of remote fashion
eras has evolved a garment altogether
in tune with its intent. A wrap of this

land development.

the recent races have had their effect,

In linen gowns there is a decided
fancy for using rough and smooth vari-
cites in the same costume. I saw a
fawn hopsack linen daintily adorned
with a soft white linen and embroidered
in light blue. Many of these frocks are
made pretty with pipings of contrast
