Interesting Game With Pic
ture Cards

With 26 picture cards an amusing
game may be played. The cards may be
made by pastihg all over pieces of card
board of uniform size pictures of small
objects cut from newspaper advertise
ments, or a pack of children's alphabet
cards may be used. In the upper left
hand corner of each card print or paste
one letter of the alphabet so that you
have the entire &c. The objects on each
card may be of any description, regard
less Of the letter on that card.
To play the game, place the pack.
face UP, in the center OF the table. Any
number may play. The player who be-
posed card beginning with the letter in
the corner of that card. The next
player in order does the same. and so
on in rotation. If one fails to name an
object beginning with the letter on the
card or fails to name one within min
ute he is out and the game continues
without him. When all the players but
one are 'out'' for that card one player
takes it and the game proceeds with the
next letter of the alphabet exposed on
the next card.
No player must name an object on
any card that has already been named.
The player who holds the greatest
number of cards at the end of the
game wins. II ii is too much trouble
to make the cards a childs alphabet
picture book may be used
Another game that affords much
amusement is played with a letter that
has been written beforehand with
blank spaces left where the adjectives
belong The writer does not let the
players know what he has written. but
asks each for an adjective. placing the
adjectives so given in the blank
spaces in regular order. When the
spaces have all been filed the letter is
read TO the company. and it never fails
TO be amusing.
The game may be varied by leaving
a number of blank spaces, and instead
of asking for adjectives TO NIL them
the writer may ask for any part Of
speech that the players may choose to
give him. As no one knows about
what the letter is written. a very in
congruous epistle Will be the result.

those who are gentle and kind. The
speeches of the latter do not make
people laugh, but make them happy
and pleased, and person who can give
even the least happiness is far more
important and valuable in the general
scheme of daily life than one who
merely raises a laugh. Laughter is
certainly necessary to life; the days
would be very dull without it But
only that which is evoked from good
nature or genuine wit is worth having.
1t is Infinitely better to laugh with
people than at them. for the latter
makes one hard, while the other makes
one gentle.
Criticism OF a justifable kind may
be given with kindness and friendI-
ness quite as well as with sarcasm,
and in point of fact the first method is
far more apt than the latter to ac-
complish the desired effect Ridicule
may arouse antagonism and obstinacy
when gentlenes and persuasion can en-
tire1y remove the cause of complaint.
In any event, a girl who wishes to
have friends should preserve the gentle
use of her tongue, even though as much
laughter may not follow her saIlies as
from those which are sharp.

poetry; the boy was born poet. AS
q scholar he was ambitious to excel.

At the age of II Poe entered the
University of Virginia at Charlottes-

session. Oalcial records prove that he
was not expelled. On the contrary he
gained a creditabIe record as a student.
