OUR CHILDREN'S CORNER
TWO GOOD GAMES.

Here are two good games to pass
away a rainy evening or to entertain
your friends with when you give a
party. You will not find them difficult
to play, and they will provide o with
a great deal of u n
Royal Prince OF Princess.
Let all the children sit down in a ring
for this game.
One child begins by saying to her
right hand neighbor: Good evening,
royal princess Cor PRINCE. I, a royal
princess, come from a royal princess to
say that 1 have a monkey with purple
eyes"
The right hand neighbor then says to
his right hand neighbor: Good even
ing, royal princess Cor prince. 1, a
royal prince, come from a royal prin-
cess to say ha 1 have a monkey with
purple eyes and three seven-mile tails"
So each player must do, repeating the
exact words of his predecessor, and
adding some new bit of description of
his own-but saying princess or
"prince." according to whether he is
talking to a boy or a girl.
If anyone makes a mistake he must
be w WIFI u uuIiCc Cap dliu
dubbed the CONDITIONED Prince or
Princess"
The boy or girl who gets through the
game without a mistake captures the
prize.
Game of "Scents' and "Tnstes."
A favorite game among japanese chill
dren is what is known as the game of
scents"
At entertainments various pastils are
burned. and the youthful guests are
asked to give a name to the different
kinds.
A variation of the game is to sprinkle
handkerchiefs with perfume and make
the children say what each perfume Is.
A more popular version of the game OF
cents would be the game of tastes.
Don't you boys and girls think SO!
Think what fun it would be for us to
be requested to sample a large assort-
ment of sweetmeats and cakes and to
give each it's proper name.

Keeping "steady Company"

Dear Margery Doom:
l am a young girl of 16 and have
been going with a young man of Is
for six weeks. He calls at my house
two or three times a week. Now, Sat
urday our Sunday school had a picnic
in the afternoon and evening, and on
the way home he asked me to keep
steady company. I told him l was too
young and he said l wasn't. He said
he would like to know by Wednesday
night. He told me he loved me better
than words could tell. n that if
should tell him Wednesday that |
could not keep steady company he would
go out West. Now. Dear Miss Doom,
will you please advise me what to do,
as / like him very much, but l think
] am not of an age To keep steady
company. Do you? Please advise me
and earn the thanks of
SWEET SIXTEEN.
I think you were right in refusing to
keep company at so early an age.
Tell him that you do not feel sure that
you know your own mind well enough
to say yes to him. If he really loves
you he will be glad to wait until you
are older and ask you again. Do not
worry for an instant about his going

Beauty Baths.

In days gone by the American sum-
mer girl did not think her season at
the shore or mountains a success un-
less she managed to procure a coat OF
tan or sunburn that would do justice
to one of her early ancestors of the
plains. Without her Drowned or blis-
tered face, neck and arms she was
fain to return to the city. Her tanning
or burning meant part Of her vacation
and she was not happy without 1t.
But the summer girl soon realized
that a tanned complexion and low cut
gowns did not go we'll together, SO. In
stead of exposing herself as she used
to do, she is now trying every known
process to keep her skin white and
free from all blemish. And not alone
hoes she seek the simple remedies,
milk baths and baths of curds. and
juices of cucumbers n lemon are
among some Of the preparations she
uses to ward way the ~treachery of
advancing time, the sun n wind, for
her skin must retain its freshness at
all costs.
Cucumber and lemon baths are the
newest beauty baths in London. The
lemon bath has been adopted by Queen
Wilhelmina of Holland, who borrowed

tributes to 1t a great deal of h clear
wilderness of her skin. The bath Is pre-
pared as follows: Five lemons, cut In
slices, are left to SOC in a basin of
water for half an hour The water
drawn into the bath must be moderate
ly hot, but not warm enough to be
~enervating. The lemon water Is added
to it slowly, the whole being stirred
vigorously the while, In the same way
that a cup of cocoa is made. This bath
is said to be very useful in helping to
eradicate brown spots or freckles. The
chief drawback to the cucumber a Is
it's expensiveness. The amount of GU

fective for the whole body would cost
about 5000. One well-known London

The latest thing in checked skirts is
that formed somewhat on the lines OF
the sun-plaited bias garment. AT the
top of the waist the checks are infini-
tesimally small. They graduate larger
al the way and at the basic of the hem
are immense. These skirts are stitched
in fiat plaits, about half a yard from
the top.
Gowns made from sheer materials
are much less severe than those made
of the heavy. They follow the princess
models and are worn over slips of the
same of a contrasting color.
The slips are made entirely separate
from the outside garment and are well
boned at the waistline. One of these
slips may be made to do service for
several gowns if the colors are chosen
with a view to doing so.
The lower edge of the slip is trimmed
with rufI1es or plating to give a fluffy
effect.
One OF the handsomest dresses seen
his season was of soft black net wei a
slip of thin black silk. 1t was made en-

pale blue satin. covered with black net.
The short sleeves were moderately mar

lace was slightly draped at the left side,

Hon. to Make
the Home More
AttractiUe
To Clean Rugs.

To clean the antique rugs that cost
hundreds of dollars really is a science,
and housewives possessing any of these
much-valued floor coverings should re-
member 1t when having their spring
cleaning done. The mistake of brush
ing with a stiff broom against the grain
should never be made, and. If necessary
to prevent this. mistresses personally
should superintend this work, for going
against the cav takes off the silky
nap and loosens the threads that bind
the material together. Neither should
they ever be shaken by one end or in
the centre to free them from lust and
dirt, for this is apt to loosen the weave.
Pounding them with the regulation rat
tan rug-beater makes for destruction
and never should be permitted. The
only thing I know of to take the surface
dirt from fine. thin old coverings is a
thorough brushing or whisking with a
strong but soft bristle brush, working
always with the grain. After this par
tial cleaning a damp cloth can be
stroked across the top to give a bright
ness to the colors and to gather up
loose dirt.

The Comfort of a Hammock.
This is the season of hammocks,
and they may be bought at n price,
from Is cents to s~35-according to the
style, shape and finish. Very attractive
ones are those made with slats-and
furnished with quite a thick mattress
which hang stranght from the ceiling,
others made on sort of barrel slaves
are good and far less expensive. The
old-fashioned hammock of mesh is the
least expensive and is, on the whole,
lasting and very satisfactory.
Some folk have made covers of linen
for old hammocks. and a few artistic
ones have decorated the valance with
a stenciled design.
A hammock cover. pillows and chair
cushions of gray linen, with a stenciled
design in dull green, will convey to
a porch such a cool effect that 1t
scarcely matters whether or not the
breezes blow.
