Children, This Part Is Yours
A NEW BLIND MANS BLUFF.
This One Is Different From the orisi-
malt Is Worked With Spoons.

ndf-tI 10 VOiHVd Wiot 0POSH"
A variation of blind mans bluff may
be played in this fashion: Get a lighted
candlestick, a handkerchief and two
tablespoons. Blindfold one of the party,
give him the spoons, one in each hand,
and place him in the middle of a large
ring Of chairs on which the rest of the
party are seated and tell him that he
must try to blow out the light as it is
passed quickly from hand to hand by
the others.
The blind man will find this a diff
cult task TO accomplish. and even when
he has done so his troubles are not
over. He must then try TO guess who
the person is who was holding the light
when it was blown out. But he is not
allowed to feel the person, as in ordi-
nary blind mans bluff; that would be
far too easy. He al only feel with
the spoons.
He feels the persons head to see II
he has long or short hair. and he feels
how the dress is trimmed and tries to
remember who is wearing a dress
trimmed that way. and he puts the
cold spoon down his neck. and then
the person says "Ouch!' and the blind
man cries, "Why. it's Billyw and tears
off the bandage. And then it is Billy's
turn to stand in the circle and blow
out the candle and try to guess who is
who with the help Of cold tablespoons.

Serviceable Goods Which Will Make
Splendid Costumes.


Ratine Is a very popular material,
and linen is always a reliable choice
for a tub skirt. Any Of the fashions
which show the diagonal line at front
with the addition of button trimming
should be suitable for you. One pretty
fashion which TALES with this sug-
gestion had a diagonal line running
Just n little to the left Of the waist
line at front and curving off to the
left two-thirds of the way down the
skirt, where il was continued. in n
straight line to the skirt edge and from
the start of the straight line was trim
med with buttons. The skirt had a
seam at center back which ran straight
two-thirds of the way and then finish
ed with an extended effect.
The cotton voile with lavender stripe
will be dressy and stylish too. Make
with fichu Of shadow lace edged with
fringed skinny ruffle of lavender taf-
feta silk. Fill in the V at neck with
tucked white net or shadow lace. Make
sleeves to elbow slightly pulled and
finished with a double frill of the lace,
with n band of silk in the center.
Make a girdle of the silk and a very
narrow panel of the silk straight down
the center of the skirt front. Have
skirt slightly full at waist line and fin
ish the bottom with a double putting
of silk.

operations pending he could not afford

went on and Dan and Mabel did not
