Game In Which a Mouse Also Takes a
Part.
In playing the game called elephant
tag" each child takes the name of an
animal-dog. cat, Kangaroo. panther or
anything he wishes, but one must be
the elephant, and one must be the
mouse. The elephant tries to catch all
the animals except the mouse. and the
mouse tries to catch the elephant. If
the elephant touches one of the ami
mails that animal must go into the
menagerie probably the front yard.
He tries to get all the animals into the
m%enagerie without getting caught by
the mouse. If there are many children
there can be two elephants and two
mice. If II Of the elephants is
caught he Is put into the menagerie,
too, but he can be rescued if the other
elephant touches him.

AN AFTER DINNER TRICK.
How Tommy Filled the Empty Dish
With Nuts and Raisins.


Tommy Brown. Il little boy, tried this
trick on some of his friends and was
thought very clever. Just when dinner
IA nearly over Bridget quietly an
nounced that the grocer must have
forgotten to bring the nuts and raisins.
The company were all more or less dis
appointed, but Tom, the host, seemed
very angry at this omission. Impa-
tiently he said to Bridget, Fetch me
the dish in which the nuts and raisins
should have been served" Pretending
to be very much annoyed. he flourish
ed his own napkin vigorously over the
empty dish: then. carefully lifting the
napkin. much to the surprise of all,
the dish was revealed full of nuts and
raisins.
This is how Tom managed the trick.
He had got Bridget to sew two nap
kins together all around the edges and
to slit one across the middle. The space
between he napkins made . bag. into
which Tom had supplied the nuts and
raisins. He held the bag between his
knees. with another napkin over his
lap. While he was yesticulating in ap-
parent disappointment. he had quickly
changed napkins. The trick was a
clever bit of homemade slight of hand
and all shouted at Toms cleverness.

Week End hatbox.

The picture hat is the bane Of the
young woman invited to spend the week
end in the country. because she does
not wish to load herself down with hat
boxes innumerable.
To meet this need there has been
built what might be described AS a
dress suit cast with bullying sides. In
side it is divided through the center by
n flap. on each side of which is Il cone
of spiral wire. on which a picture hat
can be fastened with hatpins.
If only M hat is to be carried the
other side Of the hat case will accom-
modate Il couple of fresh shirt waists
or the innunerable small things for
which there never seems room in the
steamer trunk. popular for week end
or short stays in the country.

found that some of the water charged
with this cleaning powder had passed
through the ears and nostrils and washed
out his brain.
Fearing that the campaign would de-
generate into mud singing, l resolved
to find the Excelsior agent and gain
his consent to a division of the terri
tory. l addressed a note, signed with
a fictitious name, to NJ. f. Tuttle,
box "a. Hammerton p~ostoffice, stating
that | would like to buy a couple of
dozen packages of the Excelsior remOv
er and would call at his office for the
purpose ii an address We're given.
This brought the street and number,
and l called.
l found a little cottage on a side
street. Upon asking for the agent of
the remover a young woman about
twenty years Of age entered the room
and asked what she could do for me
! asked her If she was the agent. and
she said she a l told her that I
was the person who wished to buy a
couple Of dozen packages Of her Elk
celsior remover, but feared when l told
her why l wanted it she would refuse
to sell. She asked what l wanted it
for. and l told her that l should use
it to remove from that territory the
agent Of the Excelsior article. as she
was interfering seriously with the sale
of BrOadrib's cleansing powder, which
l was handling.
There was a slight quirking up Of
the corners Of her pretty mouth as
thousand packages to remove the
agent, but If l cared to buy so man,
she would sell them to me at the
wholesale price and with all the dis
counts she had obtained frcm the own
ers. l asked her if the thousand pack
; ages were her entire stock and if she
would guarantee not to buy any more:
also il there would be enough to re-
move the agent to my Office as clerk
and advertisement writer.

.MILADY'S VEIL.
Clever Novelties That Aid the Chic Of
the Seasons Millinery,

the Seasons Millinery.
Plain white mesh veilings, white nov.
elites with dainty designs and border
ed effects. for wear in either nose or
min fashion. are all in demand, says
the Dry Goods Economist. In fact.
some Of the cleverest novelties of the
hour are found in the all white bor-
dered class. White washable wells are
picking up considerably in popularity.
One of the newest ideas in the mar
ket is the lavalliere veil, q Paris con-
ceit. in which are combined Il veil and
a lavalliere. The veil portion is usually
OF a plain mesh, heXagOn being pre-
ferred. and this plain mesh is caught
into a velvet neckband decorated with
pearls. rhinestones or cut steel. The
lavalliere is fastened by means Of
snaps. several of which are used. so
that the neck size can be easily regu-
lated.
Interest in novelty velvet spots is
growing more pronounced in high class
lines. Large square velvet spots mount
ed on large square meshes are among
the strong favorites. especially with the
extreme trade. Hand run floral pat
terms III square meshes are also a high
novelty item.
The craze for heXagon meshes is, if
anything, more pronounced than ever
and bids fair to continue for fall. The
chenille bordered heXagons for wear in
nose fashion remain among the best
sellers.

Religious

Y. N. c. A. to Invade Walled Towns,
An invasion Of the walled towns Of
the orient by the Young Mems Chris
tan Associations of North America is
expected.
L.. Wilbur Messer, general secretary.
who recently returned from q study of
conditions in the far east, gives eighty
nve e of the orientals, this with
a view toward the training of two Y.
NJ. &. A. secretaries for each important
city IN China, Japan, India and the is
lands.
Il wish to enlist the men for the
work in the foreign field by ~arousing a
FEELING of obligation" said Mr.. Messer.
"Ihey will then go back to their work
ana begin training the most promising
boys as secretaries for the old world.
The demands for buildings and
equipment from the interior towns are
%unceasing. There are 1900 walled cit
les with 10000 or more population in
CHINA alone. The Chinese governors
are begging us to come into their cit
les. They offer to donate the land and
pay the expenses of maintenance of the
association houses. Buildings are need
ed in twenty-four cities in Japan eager
for our appearance among them. The
40 foreign secretaries are unable to
meet the demands made upon them.
There Is a new consciousness spring.
Ing up in the oriental countries. The
people want technical training and ca
gerly seek to learn commercial sub.
jects. They respond to our work as
readily as the young men Of America
do. They go to the gymnasiums. the
evening classes and the camps because
they find that it pays, physically and
financially"
The purpose of the Young Mems
Christian association in the orient is to
turn the young men from agricultural
pursuits to the industrial, said the gen.
eral secretary. On the farms they
earned but s cents a day and Is cents
in the mills. BY teaching them to de-
velop their countries and make the
most Of their t.eir wages
would advance as the industries were
lifted. This, he said. could be done by
mental and physical education, social
centers and Il liberal supply of techni-
cal training.

PRACTICAL SHOES.
French Fashion Leaders Have Little
Use For Them at Present.


Some sensible persons have been try
ing in Paris to bring back what they
call practical Shoes" 1t is to be fear
ed this effort will not be crowned with
much success, for fancy shoes. or a
rather elaborate order, become more
and more fashionable.
For walking in the early morning,
shoes Of a more or less practical order
are worn. but beyond this we find that
dainty little affairs which our grand
mothers would have labeled %"evening'
are considered the only possible. Even
tatfeta shoes are now worn in the
street.
With the new p~olonaise frocks. which
recall the fashions of 1880. shoes of
the same material as the dress. and
that is invariably t%affeta, are the COR
:ect thing.
These polonaise dresses are quaint in
outline. The upper portion of the
dress is almost exactly like the polo
naises which We're worn fifteen or
twenty years ago. and the skirts are
short and plated.

WASHINGTON IRvING'S JOKE.
Why the Spot That Washington
Touched Could Not Be Seen,

Touched Could Not Be Seen.
Among DR.. George Haven Putnam's
early recollections was a meeting with
Washington Irving. He tells Of it in
his Memories of My Youth" The
Irving home was near Yonkers and
the Putnam family occasionally visited
their neighbors. DR.. Putnam remem.
bers II Sunday afternoon when his
father was busy arranging some of Mr..
1rving's papers and the old gentleman
took pains to give him some word
about his W childhood. His mother
told him some years later. when he
was old enough to be interested in his.
torical events and ~personages, that
when he was a year old the nurse, tax.
ing him out in his baby carriage, saw
ut the orner of Broadway General
Washington passing by on horseback.
The nurse. holding up the little boy,
called out to the general that here was
a boy that had been named after him,
and she hoped that the general would
be willing to give the boy his blessing.
Little Washingtons We're not so
plenty in 1854 as they became in later
years, and the general was quite ready
to delay his ride for the purpose of CIV
ing a greeting to his little namesake.
He took the boy up on the saddle and.
placing his hand upon the little ones
head. gave him a formal blessing. l
looked up with interest at the head
that had been touched by Washington,
and then found myself perplexed at
Mr.. Irving's word that l should not see
the spot on which the generals hand
had rested.
Il spoke to my father afterward
about the incident, and he said, why,
you stupid, don't you know that Mr..
Irving wears a wig:'"

SILK %PETTICOATS.
Those Of China Silk Useful For Wear
Under Short Skirts.

OuOST 0VOTS 0kIFtSs
In these days Of short skirts, usually
transparent, there is always the prob
lem of the kind of petticoat to YEA
beneath. Muslin ones have not been
revived, although several ONE cling
to them as the only available wash
kind for summer.
The fashion calls for silk here, as
elsewhere, in the underclothes. for
there never was a time when SO much
silk was worm, ever by women who
are not we'll to do. But as long as silk
is the most acceptable fabric for the
petticOat it is we'll to reason cut what
weave is the best for a thin skirt.
Even a ummer weight flannel or serge
is liable to be claSSed under the name
of Y ray without the chaperonage Of a
proper p%etticoat.
China silk. therefore. is the oft
chosen 1t washes we'll. does
not demand expert ironing. and even
if it turns Il tritle yellow. as even the
best Of silk is apt to do. the result is
not bad enough to cause dissatisfac-
ton.
1t is not necessary to trim with lace
or tuckS or ever Misunderstanding. for
a wide hem is sufficient. Ii one likes
a narrow row of knife plating insert
ed in the edge Of the hen very we'll
and good. but nothing more. This pet
ticoat will serve for various frocks. 1t
