acting for his son. Prince Chun Is the
brother Of the late emperor. who died
q couple Of years ago.
Pu VI was born in February, 1905,
and Is therefore nearly FIVE years old.
When he becomes emperor he will be
able to exercise but a small part Of
the autocratic power by which his
predecessor ruled. China is advancing
and has already decided to have con-
stitutional government. So Pu VI
must reign according to the written
law and not as the emperor would
decree under the old system.

In South America lives d wasp that

the branch is passed is SO large that
the nest swings freely In the wind. In

lot write halves Of verses and the 9th
er halves on the back Of the second
lot. Pin one lot a couple Of feet apart
to white sheet and hang at one end
Of the room, removing breakable
things from the. vicinity. The other
lot distribute to the girls. Each boy
will in turn try to pierce q heart on
the sheet with the bow and arrow
given him. The one he comes nearest
to belongs to him, and he finds his
partner by the half verse on the back.
For instance, Teddy pierces q heart

They are partners for the next game

But your home people are under the
memorable necessity of living with

habit Of thinking that anything will
do for his home people. He treats
them as daily bread; he does not ex-

Grammatical Points.

Many people make mistakes in the
use of "lay" and "lie." 1t is correct to
say 81 am going to lie down." 81 am
going to lay down" is not grammatical.
One may inquire, LAY what DOWN.
"Shalp and "will" are also often in
correctly used. Learn to say, II shall,
we shall, you will, he will and they
will" This rule guards the switch
where most people get Off the track.
"Will" in the first person must always
have touch of volItion, and shall In
the second person gives emphasis TO
authority But courtesy demands that
both authority ana self assertion be
avoided whenever needless.

Wedding Reception Before Ceremony.
The wedding reception should pre-
cede the marriage ceremony. This is
the newest suggestion from London.
Instead of the "at home that usual
~ follows the society church we'd
dings. a reception that is similar In
every respect practically to the old
time function should be held on the
day before the wedding. The parents
receive the guests while the bride to be
and the bridegroom elect stand tOgeth-
er to receive the Fluctuations Of their
friends. All the wedding presents are
on view, and everything is the same as
in the Eat homes" except that the cou-
pie are not married. The reason for
this new arrangement is that It saves
the crush at the brides home follow
ing the church wedding. 1t is more
comfortable for the couple and their
parents to have quiet hour while
preparations for the wedding tour are
being made Such an arrangement also
gives the bride and bridegroom an OPP
portunity to slip away quietly.

The Desirable Guest.

The person who can talk entertain
ingly is the best type Of guest at So
cial gatherings, for she who chatters
necessarily is almost more undesirable
than one who is too quiet, for the lat
ter gives opportunity for other persons
to express themselves, while with the,
former to say even one word is often
a struggle.
The balance between these extremes
is the art of stimulating a temporary
companion to conversation, and at no
place is it more important to adopt
the correct attitude than at a dinner.
More than one man has been obliged
to talk so much when sitting beside
a quiet woman that he has not eaten
enough. Such conduct on the part Of
a woman is decidedly inconsiderate.
At dinners and also at formal lunch
cons it is good idea to watch the
plates of neighbors, and If one person
has been talking so much as to have
fallen behind in the course 1t is tact
full to take conversation into ones own
hands, giving the other chance to
listen and at the same time to eat.
1t is not good form to mOnOpolize
the attention Of one neighbor to such
an extent as to prevent him or her
from talking with the person on the
other side. Often 1t is temptation
when on one side Is an attractive per-
son and on the other one who is dull,
but politeness makes dividing the at
tentiOn necessary. ...-
If one person is kept constantly in
conversation by one neighbor at din
ner it means that he or she on the 9th
er side sits much of the time with no
one to talk to. for the guest farther
on is certainly giving some time to the
person on his or her other side.
