CHARACTER GUESSING.

All the players sit around in a circle.
The player who first thinks OF an inter
esting character in one of Grimm's
Fairy Tales" or in Alice in Wonder
land or any other hook that is quite
familiar to all the players, sits on The
floor within the circle and begins 20
describe the character. The other chill
dren listen carefully, and the first one
who thinks he has guessed the cha"-
acter sits on the door beside the other
and continues to describe the character.
If he has guessed rightly and is correc,.
in his description tho FIRST player al
lows him to go on describing, but II ne
is mistaken, the first player Shoes him
out of the game. AS soon as a child
thinks he has guessed the character lie
sits on the floor and tells what h.
knows of the character, and so l. goes
on till all the children are sitting on
tho floor except those WHO have guessed
wrong, and they are all driven out of
the game.

Continued From Yesterday

Tramberley sat aghast. He was des-
tined to pass from establishment to
establishment today. He thought it, in
his heart, very rude, and, in fact, nasty
of this young swell, who was asking for
Angey as so great a boon, to couple his
request with this almost insulting con-
dition. At the same time. he was hor-
ribly afraid of offending Elton by word
or sign.
At last he summoned courage to ask:
MAY I be so indiscreet as to ask
why? Mrs. Tramberley's grandfather
was General Smith. ! am myself a
cousin of Lady Muriel Aston

but it is not at all that to which /
allude. She who has so deeply I'M

find on returning that o are nowhere

come with many devoted thousands in
your pockets, take a palace and get a
duchess to invite your company; in
which case, mind, you former status
might as well be nil"
Am l to understand, then, that we
are to see no more of Angela after she
becomes your wife?"
Nothing of the kind, nothing of the
kind, my lear Mr.. Tramberley, believe
me. OF us you shall see as much as
ever you like, n W. of o in a quiet
and intimate way. If my wife gave q
ball, she would. of course, like to have

quite changed all good Mr.. T~ramberley's
views. That mythical coronet of his

Tailor-made gowns of almost severe
designs are always in favor with the
well-dressed oma and most of the
imported models especially designed
for spring and early summer wear en-
body all the smart details dear to the
heart of the tailor-made roman
The graceful gown shown in our il
lustration takes a prominent place
among the latest productions of the
French modiste's art. 1t is carried
out in the finest and softest chiffon
broadcloth, and made in a lovely shade
of d~ove-gray. The skirt, which is per-
fectly plain, is cut and fitted to per-
lection, while the graceful coat is of
quite a novel shape, and made with
long points on either side, bordered
throughout with a hem of soft satin
in the same beautiful shade of dove
gray. Above the satin there comes
a fine silk b~raiding, specially dyed also
to match the cloth, and this kind of
trimming is continued up the back OF
