In that same year Nash died, much

New roads and paths were made. and
the front of the palace became gay
with fashionable promenaders and the
equipages of the nobility. The fine

Tommys mother had taken him to
church to hear the evening sermon,
and they occupied seats in the gal
lery. Tommy tried not to allow his
attention to wander from the preach
er, but it did. He seemed to be par
ticularly interested in family who
sat in front Of him, and when the
sermon was about Aalf over he whis-
pered to his mother:
Mamma, l never saw those people
before, but / know their names"
Hush, dear!"
"But do" persisted Tommy.
Their names HILL"

Every time the preacher says his
text, 4 will lift up mine eyes to the

Subsequent inquiry proved that
Tommy was quite correct.

Acting Animals.

This is a game called acting ami
mails. One child pretends to be some
kind of animal and acts just as that
animal would act. Then the other
children guess what he is trying to
be. The child who guesses correctly
may be the next one to represent an
animal. 1t is really very funny. espe-
cially If you try to initiate something
like stork standing on one leg or a
rhinoceros or a turtle or even a
mosquito, for insects are included as
we'll as animals. Sometimes 1t is well
to allow the guessers three questions
that may be answered By yes" or
no
