POPULAR GAMES IN LONDON
Oabbit, CASTILLO, Holo and Three
Tricks Have PossibiIIties-De-
scription Of Pastlmes.

"Dabbit"
This sounds like a swear word from
n man who Is suffering from a severe
code i'd the dose" but 1t isn't. Dab
bit Is only the title of new game.
which some people say has good
chance OF becoming more popular than
ping-pong was. says the London
Sketch.
The idea Is ridiculously simple. You
are provided with sort of oblong
tray. the bottom OF which Is formed
by the table on which you play. Placed
across the middle OF the court thus
provided is a piece of wood contain
Ing arches.
The ordinary rules Of tennis are fol
lowed. but instead of going over the
net you serve the ball under the cen.
ter arch. In returning. the players
send the ball back under any OF the
arches and the fun Is exciting 1t Is
series Of pushes. and one is sur
prised at the amour, OF skill which
can be obtained.
Dabbit Is only one OF several. Per.
haps the best is CASTILLO. n game on

coming very popular in London. for 1t
can be played either on a lawn or the
table. specially shaped mallets are
used. while ordinary croquet balls.
four players having castle and two
balls. Much skill Is required In the
capturing Of flags and castles. each
game lasting about 20 minutes. and
providing all sorts of excitement when
the players are skillful.
More modest. but equally interest
ing. is holo. the players trying to
drive ball through their opponents
well-guarded goals. Holo appeals
quite as much to children as to grown
ups. and what seems fairly simple at
first is In the end very difficult. -.
Stepping-stones Is a game In which
the players have to stop from one
block to another while balancing n
ball on platter. The results are
ludicrous.
Finally. there is three tricks. A lit
tie table is revolved and suddenly
stopped. whereupon the players try
to spike loose tablets which are num-
tered. The fact that one player spikes
more than another does not mean that
he wins. for he may have taken sew.
eral for which he has to concede
points.

PAY ATTENTION TO THE ARMS |
Easy to Dress Them 6eeominsiy So
as to Overcome Any Natural
Defects.

Thin arms are very easily dressed
becomingly. though there have been
women in the world who had every
device Of the toilet at their beck and
call and yet failed to understand the
needs OF their meagre arms. A cele-
brated actress and we'll known society
woman was one OF these. and even
the surprising loveliness Of her face
could not make up for the ugliness OF
the arms she was forever showing of
in short sleeves.
However. estimates OF beauty have
changed somewhat. and with the pres
ent formless lines striven for in
clothes match-like arms are no longer
a bar to good looks. But they must
be dressed becomingly-in long
sleeves gathered over the arms or in
the shape Of loose bishop puffs end
ing in a long hand ruffle. The closer
sleeve should have a pointed bottom
covering the back OF the hand II this
member is also too thin or otherwise
unlovely. but where the bishop sleeve
is used the material Of the bodice
must be thick enough to hide the out
lines Of the arm. for otherwise there
will be an unpleasant X-ray effect
when the light pierces the thin tex
ture.

CLOAKINGS FOR THE FALL
Ratine Cloths Are Certain to BE Much
Used by Al the Fashionable
Costumers.

A great deal OF interest Is expressed
in ratine cloths for fall. There seems
no question that they will be consid-
erably used by all Of the best houses.
The new idea is, Of course. the double
faced finish. and beautiful lines In two
colors reversible. or In plain colors
with plaid back are being shown.
Colors in cloakings are both dark
and dull. In double faced materials
We see such combinations as navy
blue and dark red. two shades OF
Havana brown. sage green. and beige.
dull blue and mode. navy and taupe.
Bordeaux red and Oxford gray. olive
green and khaki.
The newest ratine cloths are light
weight and thin also. The first OF
these cloths brought out last year
we're much heavier. and were found to
be clumsy. and. therefore. were not
great success. This seasons offerings
are much thinner. and are. therefore.
expected to please.
Diagonal and boucle weaves are
both being shown In ratine novelties.
These diagonal effects are in both
one and two tone colorings. often a
lighter shade. such as blue or Bor-
deaux illuminates the background.
while the boucle knots are in black.
These materials are called "velours
de laine" as we'll as "ratine."

LITTLE BOYS UNIQUE TRUNK
Quaint "Hoid-AIi" 10 Handy Place for
Youth to Store Away His Many
Treasures-how Made.

Every boy likes to have a place
where he can store away his treasures.
Here Is Just the place. and. in the
making OF such a unique little trunk.
the boy who likes work with tools
will have a treat.
This quaint "hold-all" Is a copy OF
grandfather's trunk that is In a mu-
scum at Salem. Mass. and by follow
ing the instructions given below 1t
can be quite easily made. When 1t Is
completed the possessor will have not
only an artistic and convenient re-
ceptacle for his treasures. but will
also have reminder Of the days Of
long ago when Just such trunks were
taken by great-grandfather and great
grandmother on their travels.

PUTTING Your Foot on II.

This familiar saying has an amusing
historical origin, which is as follows:
When the title to land is disputed in
Hindustail. two holes are dug in the
ground. and one leg of each of the
lawyers Of the rival claimants are
buried therein. In this awkward posi-
tion the dusky legal champions fall
to arguing and the one who tires
first loses his clients case. Thus. in
a very humiliating sense. both the los
ing litigant and the defeated lawyer
have put their foot in it."

A Hungry Motor Car.

Have you ever noticed how hungry
an automobile sometimes looks when
II is trying to run you down on the
street? 1t looks as II 1t would like
TO eat you and leave nothing except

the feeling of the motor car that got
in the path of a runaway In Kalama.

two frightened horses and loaded
pie wagon. which may or may not
have been frightened. The driver
was thrown Off the wagon seat. and
the horses dragged the swaying pie
wagon through the streets. dripping
pies behind. They ran into an auto
mobile. and the wagon suddenly stop

plastered themselves all over the car.

Could Change the Wind.

King Erricus of Sweden publicly
confessed that he was a sorcerer and
magician. He was the owIeG of an
enchanted cap. which he pretended
enabled him to control the spirits and
change the direction of the winds at
pleasure. So firmly did his subiests
believe In the supernatural powers of
their ruler. says the London Mail
that when a storm arose they would
exclaim: "Ah, the king is again wear
ing his magic cap!"

Delicately colored buttons in soft

She had used Cuticura Soap and Oint-

them, and my hands were all healed
