bag,
As the wheel went round he made his
grab.
At the word grab" all must change
partners, and while the change is go
ing on the miller has the opportunity
given him Of securing a partner for
himself. Should he succeed in doing
so, the one left without a partner
must take the place of the jolly miller

FOLIAGE GAM e
Game for Grown-ups.

A simple way to entertain at an af-
ternoon garden party is to prepare. on
cardboard, specimens of the foliage of
variety of plants-single leaves being
selected of the different kinds and
fastened to the cardboard with muci-
lage. AS they are perishable they must
be prepared a short time before being
used.
The specimens are numbered and
each guest is given a blank paper on
which to record his guesses as to name
of the plant or shrub from which they
were gathered.
This sounds easy, but a single leaf
of a familiar plant often looks like
some unknown specimen when seen by
itself.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-26
FLOWER CONTEST

Another guessing contest that is in
teresting Is to take different flowers
and place a small bit of each in
pasteboard box. wrap the box and cut
a small hole In the cover after the
box is tied.
Give each guest a piece of paper
containing as many numbers as you
have boxes prepared, and let tfem
guess, by smelling, what flower each
box contains.
This also sounds easy, but you will
be surprised how many times you may
have to smell to recognize some very
familiar flower.
For prizes a bouquet Is suitable II
the function is a garden party.

the vegetables you wish to use into

cut up vegetables in boiling salted wa
ter until they are tender, drain them
thoroughly and add them to the soup
which is then ready to serve. Wasn't

a beef stock, merely cook the grains
in salted boiling water until they are
tender, but not mushy, then add to the
stock, which has been heated and sea-
soned according to taste. The pro-
portion of uncooked rice is two table
spoonfuls to one quart of stock. The

etables are soft. Rub all through

The scandal in the imperial Diet OF
Japan is one OF the gravest ever known
there. but this is, perhaps, because the
Diet has had but short life, rather than
because OF any inherent honesty in its
members. AS It is, now that the scandal
has been divulged. it involves more than
a dozen members Of the Diet, Of all polIti-
cal parties, many Of whom have been
placed under arrest on the charge Of re-
ceiving bribes. Back Of the bribery is the
Dai Nippon Sugar Company. which has
been seeking monopolies and subsidies
from the imperial government Money
received from its stockholders was used
in great quantities to secure the passage
Of the needed legislation. and only when
the bill was rejected by the government
and the sugar monopoly found itself
threatened with bankruptcy did the facts
