GAME SURE TO AMUSE

"Adjectives" Is game especial
ly appropriate for a large COM
pany because it amuses people Of
all ages.
One of the number prepares an
original story, leaving blanks for
all the adjectives. Without betray-
ing his purpose he asks others to
give him some adjectives. Thus
the blanks are filled in at random.
When read aloud, the resulting
narrative is invariably convulsing.
The story is doubly amusing If
it is written about the company
present, and blanks are left for ad-
jectives describing their charac-
teristicS.

There was robin in the cherry
tree this morning, examining the pros

swelling buds. lie sees the inside OF

discern visions of cherries In hat smile
of his. He was looking forward 10 the
red letter days of June and he tossed
of them. He owns that tree. lie and
his brothers and sisters. We thought
we owned IT, and disputed his claim
for some time. but AT last we compro-
missed. He allowed us two pies of
the tree. ii we were right brisk. and
he would take the rest.

there are that many to leave. But II
he doesn't do this, we forget his ne

Yes. the robin is here in Virginia. as
in tho regions of the West he is In
