Taste and smelI.

You think you know the taste of
things don't you? Well, let me tell you
that If 1t were not for your nose you
could not tell a good many things
apart so far as your taste goes. A
great deal of what You call the taste OF
a thing Is Its smell. You can't quite
believe this? Prove it for yourselves.
The trial makes a capital game. Get
mamma or nurse to give you some raw
oatmeal, some licorice. chocolate, apple,
as many different things as she can
think OF that do not taste the least bit
alike. Then blindfold first one and then
the other Of your party and let each
one who Is bllndfolded hold his or her
pose very tightly so that it isn't posi-
bic to smell things, and then let some
one give him or her first one thing and
then another to taste. 1t is good fun to
give a little prize, perhaps one Of your
hockey sticks, Jack, or one Of your
dolls, Polly. to the boy or girl who
guesses the most names Of the things
provided for the game OF testing the
taste. Tel mamma that this Is very
good fun for a grownup peoples game
too.
