A PLACE FOR THE GIRLS AND BOYS
GAME OF SPECULATION.
Fun Centers Around Playing Card
Concealed by One Who Deals.

The leader of this game provides two
packs Of cards. one of which is dealt
one by one around the company till
all the pack is dealt. The other pack
he keeps in his hand, drawing n card
from it at random. which he conceals
in his pocket.
The players being each further pro-
vided with 4 saucer containing fifty
beans, the leader rings a small bell
and calls out, "Speculate." Then for 4
time there is confusion, the players
circulating around the room. Offering
beans in exchange for certain cards
which the n%eighbors display. Each
wishes to hold the duplicate Of the
card concealed by the leader, though
no one knows which it is.
At the second ringing Of the bell the
players are again seated, while the
leader, turning up one card from the
pack in his hand. calls out its name.
Whoever holds the duplicate must go
forward and lay it upon a table pro-
vided for the purpose. After a half
dozen or moro Of the cards have been
thus collected the signal to Speculate"
is again given.
OF course the interest increases as
the number of cards held by the play
crs diminishts, and sometimes a player
will give his last bean for a card
which may be called in at the next
ringing of the bell.
After repeated s~peculations and call
ings in one card alone remains-the du-
plicate Of thai concealed in the pocket
Of the leader. The fortunate holder of
this wins a prize, as also does the pos.
SCISSOR of the greatest number of beans.

zone of our dinner dishes, which was
wholesome and tasty. was curried spa

we left in the morning. and when we
came home at night we would make q
rather thin cream sauce, seasoning it
with paprika. a dash Of curry and a
sprinkle of parmesan cheese on the
top. Our whole dinner consisted Of a
good. hot, nourishing soup. one meat
and n vegetable and a fresh salad al

much to cook, and everything was SO
good that it was seldom there was one

THE GIRL IN HER TEENS.
Simple Coiffures For the Novice In
Putting Up Her Hair.

Among simple styles of hairdressing
there is Il very easy one for the girl
who has Just put her hair up. Usually
she cannot manage anything elaborate,
but if she has been wearing her hair In
4 plat down her back all that is neces-
sary is TO pull it forward along the
line of a center parting and conceal
the tuft at the end of the plat under
a broad bandeau of plain black ribbon
or ornamental galloon. This gives an
opportunity Of prettily crimping the
hair which lies about the forehead in
front of the bandeau. A rather tight
crimp is considered a w and more
up to date fashion than the loose
waves Of hair which for a long time
now have been greatly admired.
Another simple way for the girl who
finds the dressing Of her back hair
rather beyond her powers is to take
the schoolgirl plait and coil it loosely
around the back of the head. so that
the lower part rests on the nape of the
mech.

FASHIONS AND THE HOUSEHOLD
KITCHEN POINTERS.

When peeling lemons for cooking
purposes never cut any Of the white
skin, as it has q bitter favor.
About half a teaspoonful Of ordinary
moist sugar rubbed into the hands
with a soapy lather will clean. them
and leave them smooth.
TO remove paint and varnish from
the hands first rub we'll into them q
generous quantity OF grease or lard,
hen wash them with soap and water.
Before %scraping new potatoes soak
them for half an hour in salt and wa
ter. Not only do the skins come off
much more easily. but the hands will
not be stained.
Always empty the water out Of the
kettle after using it and rinse it thor
oughly before filing with fresh water.
This prevents the thick white sedi-
ment from forming at the bottom Of
the kettle that so soon cakes the. sides
of the kettle if not rinsed.

Milk For Patent Leather Shoes.

Have you ever tried cleaning your
patent leather shoes with milk? First
rub with a soft cloth all dust from
your shoes. Then apply the milk with
4 soft flannel cloth. BE quite sure not
to make the flannel cloth too wet. Aft
er you are sure that your shoes are
perfectly clean from using the milk
then take a second clean cloth and rub
the shoes we'll with it. AS a final touch
give your shoes a thorough polish with
q piece of old black velvet.

Sewing Room Sayings.

I~Dressmakers' superSlit1Ons are as ~
merous in the sewing room as the pins
and needles about which they circu-
late. Some Of them sound as il they
might have originated out OF the need
of ~placating the powers that be in
case Of accident. For instance. if 4
new gown slips out Of the operators
hand and falls to the floor lit is a
sign that the gown will be sold quick

cation on the face of it is the one
that promises that if you spill a box Of
pins lit is a sign" that customers are
