GUESSING CoIors.

If mother has asked you not to get
dirty after you are dressed for drive,
and you do not know just what to do
to amuse yourself, get some one to
play the following little game with
you. It is very simple, but will help
the time to pass pleasantly:
|*I see a color you don't see," says
one.
what color may it be-" asks the
other
1T may be pink Cor some color in
the room)," says the first inquirer.
Then begins the questioning. Is it
the paper? The ribbon on your hair?
The pink in the dolls dress? And so
on until happily the guesses mentions
the exact article of pink that has been
chosen. The successful guesser then
takes her turn at saying II see color
that you don't see."

Origin Of Names of Dous.

There are not many boys or girls,

For instance, the spaniel is socalled
because the first types Of this beauti-
full and intelligent animal arrived in
England from Spain and were called
Spanish dogs.
The beautiful Blenheim spaniel is
ramed after Blenheim palace, where
this dog first was made, fashionable
i'll the time of the great Marlborough.
The King Charles, as might be guess
ed, owes it's name to the merry mon
arch.
The skye terrier was originally bred
in the Isle of Skye, and the Scotch
terrier, of course in Scotland. !

Iced Chocolate.

Carefully made and served iced
chocolate is delicious and wholesome,
though not nearly so we'll known as it
ought to- be. To prepare it, put into a
granite saucepan four ounces of pow
aered unsweetened chocolate and six
ounces OF graduated sugar. Add one
quart OF boiling water, and when well
mixed place over a moderate fire and
cook until the liquid is of the con-
s1stency of thick syrup. Strain, cool
and flavor with vanilla and cinnamon.
Bottle and store in a cool place.
When needed put two tablespoonsful
OF the syrup in tall glass, with three
tablespoonful of whipped cream, one
gill OF milk and one gill of carbonated
water. Shake well before drinking.

cavities with minced walnut meats
moistened with mayonnaise or finely
chopped sweet peppers. Stand the
cherries on ice until chilled, arrange
nests of finely shredded crisp lettuce
edged with small heart leaves on

sorted cherries and a spoonful of thick
cold mayonnaise dressing, topped with
a single red cherry and tiny leaves

Ways Of Eating in China.

American boys and girls would find
some difficulty in eating in China
Each guest is supplied with a bowl
and chopsticks, and there are bowls
placed in the middle Of the table con-
tanning food. Every one helps with
his own chopsticks, and it is good
manners to pick out the most attact-
i've looking morsels and plant them in
your neighbours bowl. It is rather sus-
prising to stranger to find his bowl
being filled in this way.
Chopsticks are about as thick as
pencil, and both are held in one hand.
The Chinese contrive to pick up their
meat, hold it to their mouths, and nib
bile at it. But the unskilful will prob
ably have the humiliation of dropping
it into their laps or on to the floor.
