A Sand Pile Game
By Clara Ingram Judson

VATHERE is the boy who said the
w games in this paper were for
girls? This is the. very day
to find him, for here is game made
purposely for boys. And it's a sand
pile game, too-doesn't that sound
Jolly?
Of course you have a sand pile-if
you are lucky enough to have a yard,
YOU have 1t out under your shadiest
tree. If You haven't yard you have
a nice little sand pile box upon your
porch.
What's that?
You can't have sand pile because
you don't have a porch? The very
made sand piles You can have beau
tiful sand pile in your own room or
any place you can play This is the
way to make one. Get your father to
saw off the legs of an old table so it
will be just the right height for you to
sit by. Nail six-inch boards all around
the table so the sand won't fall to the
floor Now, line the whole top with
tin or oilcloth so the moisture won't
drip through Tin is best, but is ex-
pensive and oilcloth answers very we'll
and is very cheap.

You are ready for the jolliest of

First let's make a farm-think you
will like that?
i Smooth the sand out into nice roll
ing country. Choose the smoothest
spot for the farmhouse and garden.
The hiiiiest part of your sand pile
is the pasture land. Pat the hills with
the inside of your hand till the sand
is smooth and firm and rounded-you
don't want your sheep or cattle to trip
or fall in the holes, do you,
Now select smooth flat part of the
sand pills for the fields. This is about
the time for cutting hay. so you must
scatter fresh-cut grass from the lawn
over the fields, ready for drying and
raking.
Are you going to raise ducks? If
so. YOU must have pond for them.
Maybe your mother will loan yoR

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have some
friends living in the west, to whom
I'm going to pay a visit this summer.
Now want to ask you what you think
would be a nice gift for an elderly
lady, a girl of 16. another of IS and
still another of %? There is also a
young man of "a and an old man of Sc.
Do you think l ought to give them
something pretty and inexpensive. 1t
can be a souvenir.
(2) Now when / go down there do
have to pay their way?
(3) If any young man should ask
to take me out shall I accept the In
vitation? / don't mean strangers,
but some good friends.
a. / expect to travel all alone
and am afraid 1 will get to feel very
blue. What can / do to overcome
this?
(5) Do you think tailoring makes
one nervous? l get terribly nervous
at times. E. l..
"a Souvenirs of your home city
would be suitable bit of nice china
or dainty slippers or boudoir cap

pouch, watch fob, fountain pen or
pocket pencil holder for the old gen.
tleman. For the girls-belt or slip
per buckles, silk stockings, hair orna-
ments or pretty neckwear; some
thing pretty to wear will be most ap-
preciated by them. Better not give
anything to the young man, as it
may be embarrassing to him; young
men don't expect presents from
young women. However, if you feel
that you ought to give him something,
let it be something like a pair OF
driving gloves.
(2) No. Offer to pay your own
way, but If they wish to entertain
you show that you appreciate whaS
they do for you.
CD Certainly accept such invita-
tions.
(4 You will find travellers courte-
Gus and friendly as rule. Simply
be pleasant, do not be afraid to talk,
but do mot go anywhere with strang-
ers, either men or women.

rest enough. 1 do not think the pro-
fession makes one nervous.
