One hour later she burst into the

VkTHO likes to make clover chains .?
w Don't you love to pick the long
w stemmed fragrant white bios
SONS, pile them up in your lap and then
watch the long chains slip down and
down as your busy fingers tie the
clovers firmly together?
But perhaps sometimes you get tired
of making the straight chains or even
making the pretty clover necklaces and
bracelets and crowns that little girls
like to play with.
When you do get tired, then is the
time to look around and find some new
game to play with these clovers. In
these days when the white clovers are
their very longest and most beautiful,
it is fine to make clover chain houses

play. pick quantities of clovers and put
them in a bucket of water in shady
place. then the stems can drink their

plans. They will last twice as long if
you give them their drink first.
Now, after your clovers are ready,
plan out your house in the yard or
porch or wherever you are playing.
Plan living room. dining room.
a kitchen and one or two bedrooms.
Put a stick or branch at every corner
of every room and at each side of
every door. The stick must be big
enough to stand a foot and half
above the ground-a foot and half is
as hugh as half of yoNr mothers yard
stick.
Now start to making chains.
As fast as some are made hang them
up from stick 10 stick until the walls
of the house are outlined. If you are
working all alone maybe one row of
chains will be as much as you can
make; but If your playmates help you.
make three or four chains between
each stick. each hanging a little lower
than the other so that your house will
appear to be made of real clover walls.
When all the rooms are made. collect
leaves for the furniture.

leaves make fine tables and smaller

TRINITY BOYS PLAN SUPPER.

The membership of the Trinity
Boys club is steadily increasing and
last evening 81 members attended the
meeting held in the parish house. The
boys completed plans for a supper at
which members will be the guests on
an evening before the next meeting.
The hike taken by the boys last week
was a treat for the club and the mem

ed before school begins. Lemonade
and cake were passed during the
games last evening and added much
to the lads enjoyment. The next meet
ing will be held during the latter part

Birds live TO eat. It is lucky for
men they do. Some years ago a French
scientist told the world that IL all the
birds should suddenly die man would
have only a years life left to him, and
proved his point TO the satisfaction OF
other scientists.
How much does a bird eat? Take a
robin as an example. He eats at GER
tain seasons of the year about double
his weight in insects and worms every
day.
The birds dinner hour begins at sun
rise and ends an hour after sunset.
Any Legislation looking 10 the short,
ening OF it's hours OF labor, which are
coincident with its hours OF eating
