Napkin Rjnu Trick,


While waiting for dessert at dinner,
1t Is fun for the family at table to ex-
change tricks. One is the napkin ring
trick. Holding your napkin ring in
one hand, look from your glass tum-
bier to some large object-say, the
sugarbowl, pretending to hesitate be-
tween the two, then pick up the glass
tumbler and mutter: Safer to take
the smaller article" Then look
around and say:
"Will any of you believe me when
| say that ! can push this glass full OF
water through this napkin ring?"
Everybody will laugh and say: "Ho
I'd just like to see you do It,"
Then you should set the glass down
solemnly, place your napkin ring In
front of 1t, and, with an impressive
flourish Of your hand, thrust your fin
ger through the napkin ring and give
the glass a shove.
"There!" you may exclaim in tri
umph, haven't ! pushed the glass
through the napkin ring?"
