Dutch ENGAGEMENTS,

A custom among the Dutch is the
exchanging of engagement rings. which
are narrow bands Of plain gold, with
the initials of the betrothed and the
day of the betrothal engraved on the
inside. They are worn on the left
hand before and on the right after
marriage. Dutch engagements extend
over a period of from two to five years.

ask her to dance without formally

What Constitutes Baseball?

The essential apparatus of baseball
is simple and inexpensive. All that is
required is a field, a stick, the ball it
self and police protection for the um-
pire. One advantage of the game as
played professionally is that those sit
ting in the grand stand can play the
game a great deal better than the
eighteen men on the diamond. 1t is
also true that any one of the specta-
tors. even though perched on a tele-
phone pole across the street or looking
through a knothole in the fence be-
yond right field, can judge of the pitch
er'S skill or the runners tleetness
much more intelligently than the ar
bitter who stands behind the battery.
The great merit of the game is that
the people Il participate in it. 1t is
not like bridge whist. Its science is
not synonymous with silence. The
thing to do is to take off your coat
and root as long and as loudly as you
can. ever If you don't know what is

Cracked Eurniture.

Ugly marks caused by splits or
cracked places in furniture are easily
filled in with beeswaX, and the mark
is never detected. In fact, this is how
furniture dealers cover such blemishes.
First slightly soften the beeswax until
it is like putty, then press firmly into
the cracks and smooth evenly with
a thin knife. Sandpaper over the
surrounding wood and work the dust
into the beeswaX. This gives a wood
finish or color, and when the furniture
Is vanished you will look in vain for
the blemishes. 1t is better than putty,
since putty soon dries, crumbles and
falls out, while beeswax will remain
forever just where if is placed.
