The delight they took In "acting"
the Indian stories they have heard
gave the mother an idea for new
game. AS with many small folks,
history is one OF the most uninter-
esting OF their school studies. Dur
ing the story hour that they have at
twilight, she tells them tales that
have for their foundation the history
lessons they are studying.
II is part OF the game that these
stories can be acted only on days
that they cannot play outside, and
they are honorably kept till such days.
For that reason, more than ordinary
attention has to be given to the
stories in order to remember them.

Rainy Days for Children
One mother has found that a game
that will keep the attention for hours
can be supplied by the advertising
pages of magazines, some old fashion
books, or even newspapers. She
spreads a large sheet of heavy manila
paper on the floor. mixes a little aoug
paste, gives the children scissors. and
lots them cut the people, houses,
onimals--everything they can find.

knot at the back, from which escapes
a long chain OF jet beads which con-
meets it with the cabachon and tasl
sci at the end of the cascade. The
front fastens in a similar manner
with the chain drape, continuation
of the one in the back which passes
through the knot and drapes In with
the folds below the elbow. The gar
ment Is lined in beautiful shade of
ashes Of roses summer velvet which
Is distinctly new feature in Innings,
adding not only warmth but most
elegant background to the gown worn
beneath 1t, especially since the gowns
Of this season are either dull listre
satlns or yelled brocades and their
dead tones sink into the soft folds OF
the velvet in o way suggesting an old
masterpiece.
