PRETTY Parlor Game.

From red or pink tissue paper cut
large, medium and small rose leaves
until you have enough to make an i'm
mense, full-blown rose that will fit in
large salad bowl. Arrange these to
make the flower as perfect as possible.
To as many of the leaves as there are
guests tie green baby ribbon, which
must hang over the outside of the
bowl. At the bottom Of each leaf thus
prepared fasten slip of paper on
which is written a prophecy of some
kind. For instance, on one write You
will have long, happy life;;" on an,
other, "You will soon go on journey
across water" XII =
A pretty fancy is to have a ring
fastened to one of them which will fall
to the one who receives the slip OF
paper on which is written All things
that are good fall to you: & 81

An Autograph Calendar.

The home made calendar is just
now one of the holiday gifts which is
in course of manufacture, and GER
tainly there is no gift which is war
ranted to keep new all the year in
the same way that the hand inscribed
calendar is. To make this calendar
it is first essential that 365-no. 366
tfor 1904 is leap year)-slips of pa
rer be cut of a uniform size-three
inches wide by four inches long is a
fair measurement-and then, after
having ar linked line drawn across
one inch from the top edge, they are
ready to inscribe. A line in red ink
is suggested. The space above the
line is reserved for the date, and may
he;~added last. just before the slips
are mounted into a block and cement
ed at both sides SO that the owner
may not anticipate the contents OF
the various leaves.
The leaves are now sent about to
the various friends Of the one for
whom the calendar is intended, and
each is invited to inscribe a leaf with
Oil app ~ 1dlc SSut14utut, Slluei OH ~
NAL or quoted, but in the, persons
own handwriting AS may be seen,
there are daily surprises all during
the year fer the recipient.
One of these autograph calendars is
now in process Of construction for
young fellow at college, and it is be-
ing made by the young girls of his
social set at home. On some Of the
slips he will find tiny photograph
Of the sender. On another a sketch
OF some significant subject; on an
other an allusiOn to some event in
the past, a reminder of an occasion
t. cause him amusement. There is
fine opportunity here for the display
Of originality, and by the time each
girl has done her best, the calendar
is sure to be filed.
This same calendar idea works up
beautifully for birthday gift, when
it may begin with the birthday. no
matter when it comes, and extend
through the following year to the next
birthday. If it is preferred, the slips
of paper, instead Of being mounted
on block and cemented, may be per
forated with two round holes at the
Top and then mounted on the wooden
back with wire hooks, the same that
finds favor on many desks, enabling
the owner to examine all at any time.

Can You Spin the EGG Shell?

Here is trick which will surprise
the whole family.
The next time you eat a boiled egg
moisten the rim-not merely the edge,
but all the raised part-cf your plate
and place the empty egg shell on the
wet surface.
The she'll should be broken off
evenly all the way around. so as to
form little cup.
Now, if you hold the plate up and
tip it slightly, the egg will not mere
~ slide, but spin, along the rim. and
ty continually altering the inclination
angle of the plate you can make the
she'll spin all the way around it. do
rot mean that it will spin rapidly.
like top but that as it goes around
the plate it also revclves slowly about
its own axis in the same direction.
Now this. you know. is Just what
Ihe earth does in travelling around the
sun, SO here you have an easy and
pretty lesson in astronomy at the
breakfast table.
1t is not exactly nice to muss with
ones food but in this case it may be
allowable to make a daub of egg yolk
ir the center Of the plate, with rays
streaming out all around, to repre-
sent the sun.

A Cat Anqier.

Cats can be trained as easily as
dogs. and form the same habit Of fol-
lowing one about, says a writer. MY
big black Tom has gone everywhere
with me since his kitten days, long
tramps in the woods, coaching tours,
picnics- journey proves too hard
for him. Once when we were start
ing on a fishing trip, 1 locked him up,
quite securely as I thought, suppos-
inS, of course, that he would not en-
JOY the uncertain motion of the boat
CT the inevitable wetress of the sur
roTndings. But at the last moment
he came bounding down the wharf
the cushions in the stern, evidently
prepared to take fisherman's luck
with the rest of us. He showed no
sign of fear as long as we were
around. He enjoyed the minnows
that fell to his share, and since then
the collection of rods and tackle is a
sign for him to trot off happily to
where the boats are moored.
He has now become quite an expert
enced sport: watching the water keen
1y for the ripples that tell of ''bite,' y
and cooking his shiny black head ex-
:itedly on this side and that as the
line grows taut and the rod curves in
the struggle. His joy knows no
bounds when the victim is landed at
last, and he runs from one end to an
other, purring and rubbing his back
against any projecting hand or foot,
apparently in an ecstasy of congratu-
Iation. Some one frivolously sug-
gested that in my black beauty re-
lived the soul Of a complete angler,
and since then he has been Ike, to
cis numerous friends and acquaint-
ances. ID s.zs q II:

Half inclined to squat.

Dimple in your chin;

Roly poly boy,
With your mouth a-pucker
Eyes a-dance with joy,
