OLD GAMES FOR THE YOUNG
BIlndfoIded Player Must Recognize
Others by Feeling With Large
Spoon Instead of Hands.

In the game called "a Spoonful of
Fun" instead of feeling with his
hands in order to discover who it is
that he has caught. the blind man is
given large spoon which he uses as
wand. AS in Silence. the players
must all remain perfectly still. Direct
ly he succeeds in finding some one
the blindfolded player tries, by deity
touching him here and there with the
spoon, to discover who it is. AS it is
much easier than anybody who has
not tried can possibly imagine to dis
cover the identity of a person by
spoon touching, it is best for the IN
blindfolded players to try and disguise
themselves as much as possible.
Some might stand on tiptoe to make
themselves appear taller. others tie
handkerchiefs round their necks or
wrap themselves up in shawls; and
the boys might remove their telltaIe
collars or put on their overcoats.

CELEBRATING Field of Waterloo.

While Americans are observing th>
semi-centennial of Gettysburg, and
thousands study the battle by the aid
of the monuments and markers on the
battlefield, complaint comes to Eng.
land that the Waterloo terrain is in
danger While La Hale Sainte and
Hougomont still bear the marks of
cannon shot, both are in danger of
being rebuilt, and part of the Hougo-
mont wall against which the wave of
French courage dashed in vain has
already been pulled down. That is not
the worst of the situation, according
to a British officer who recently visit
ed the field. "Tramcars" and cheap
fares have been followed by "tawdry
cafes" located on the very spot
whence the Imperial Guard recoiled.
What is to be done? The suggestion
is that cooperation of Belgians and
Enghshmen who would preserve the
topography of Waterloo many be effec-
tive in doing for that famous field
what has been done for Gettysburg. but
the first step, 1t is admitted, will be
very expensive. If preservation is not
organized there is danger that the
strategic points will DE obliterated by
