"Shipwrecked Mariners"
Good Rainy Day Game

Some day when the rain pours down
and the children are fractious and
disconnected from confinement within
the house and all the familiar plays
have palled, try the game of shipwreck-
ed mariners. With bit of dressmak-
er's chalk draw a big circle in the CEN
ter of the nursery and suggest that
this is a desert island in the midst OF
tropic sea: that the lapboard is a
small raft which may be equipped with
a bedsheet sail and such other neceS-
saries as might have been seized from
a sinking ship.
The small shipwrecked mariners viii
spend a gloriously happy day manipu-
lating their raft, discovering their is
land, and setting up housekeeping in q
tent on its hospitable shores. Any child
who knows the stories OF Robinson
Crusoe and the immortal Swiss family
Robinson, will take up the island game
with enthusiasm and think of thous-
and interesting things TO do.

Will you please give a recipe for clean
ing brass. and also tell me whether II is
considered more artistic to have the brass
dull or shiny? ! have some very old candle
sticks which are badly taTnIshed, and would
like TO polish them, but a friend says they
are more artistic II left the way they are.
Yours truly, MADELA1NE.
Whether you polish old candlesticks
or leave them as they are is purely
a matter of personal taste. If you
intend to use them in a room that is
furnished with antiques IT might be
better to leave them as they are, but
If they are to adorn a modern room,
should advise polishing them.
Pulverized pumice stone. wet with
ammonia, made into a paste and ap-
piled with a wooden cloth, and polish
ed with chamois skins is excellent as a
polish. Here is another: Wiring out
a wooden cloth from kerosene, rub
into putt pomade. clean the brass and
polish with old linen.
