Forbidden vowsis Will Create Fun.
"Cross questions and crooked an

fun. The players arrange themselves
as nearly in circle as possible, and
until the end of the game no one must
speak above a whisper The first play
er whispers a question to his neigh
bor. such as "Do you like roses:"
This question belongs now to the sec
ond player. and the answer he gives
belongs to the first player. The Sec
ond player then asks his neighbor a
question, and he must remember the
answer, the question being remember
cd by the neighbor. The game con-
tinues until every one has a question
and answer. and each one must bear
In mind that the question he is asked
and the answer his neighbOr gives are
the ones which he should retain until
the end of the game. when each gives
his question and answer aloud In the
following way: II was asked. DO you
like roses: and the answer was, Yes.

"'rhe forbidden vowels'' is also good
for large number to play. The play

the game and must answer without
bringing in word containing n for
hidden vowel. Say the vowel "a" Is
forbidden. The leader asks. "Are you
fond of playing the piano:" The an
swer. Yes. very much." would he cor

If the players choose TO make the game
very difficult two vowels may be for

Use bits of jelly to enrich pud-

ries serve the same purpose. A
cupful of ripe currants or any
sort Of berries can be mashed
into a cupful Of sugar and added
with a beaten egg to make a pie.

Bobby was thinking up ways and

his horses head homeward with the

was lonesome. Bobby often thought

will go to Emporia to spend Sunday

editor and one of the Bull Moose lead
p-s in the state. The ex-presidents
voice was tri1e husky at last nights
meeting at Omaha and his physician
advised him to make as few speeches
as possible in his Kansas jaunt. The
colonel looked at the stuffed itinerary
and observed:
That's good enough advice, but look
at what those Kansans have done"
After leaving Emporia on Monday
the colonel goes through Missouri for a
day of speech making, incidentally
touching couple of towns in Illinois
After that he goes south. striking
through Arkansas, Tennessee, Missis-
