SPlLLING OUT QUESTIONS.

Seat all the players save three in a
row. The first of these three goes to
each player and whispers In his ear
some sentence descriptive of where he
is supposed to be, the second player fol-
lows with a sentence telling what he is
supposed to be doing and the third tells
him whom he is supposed to be with.
The first of the three then calls the
name of some player and that player
must give in n long sentence the
three given him. If he laughs he pays
a forfeit. As the three leaders are
each ignorant of what the other gives
the results are apt to be ludicrous.
One player saying Il am in the mid
die Of the Atlantic ocean popping corn
with Mary Smith," while another de-
clares II am in an airship darning stock
ings for Joe Brown" is apt to produce a
gale of merriment.

Of the summer n friend of my mothers
came in and said that she and her fam

ed If we would TAKE care Of her parrot
while they We're gone. Mother said
she would be happy to accommodate
her, and the parrot-they called him
Roger-was brought over. He was a

would climb about his cage, muttering

/ about love or marriage, though ! adj
mit-but l am getting ahead of my
story.
We'll. Jack, as l have said, spent
nearly every evening during July and
| August at our house. Sometimes my
mother used to sit with us, but moth
er was afraid Of the night air, and
since we always sat on the porch
she didn't trouble us very much. Jack
used to apologize for being at the
house so much. saying that II we could
| stand him till his mother and sisters
came home he would give us a rest. I
knew very well that he said this to
prevent my considering his attentions
serious. OF course l told him he was
quite welcome and since all U friends
were out Of town l was as needful Of
his company az he was of mine.
"On the LIST of September Rogers
owner returned to the city and the
same evening came around for her pet.
Jack was there, as usual, and mother
and the lady came out on to the porch
for the parrot. Jack rose and was in
troduced to the lady. He did not re-
seat himself, but stood on the step
where he usually stood when l bid him
| good night on his leaving me.
Roger was evidently quite pleased to
see his mistress again and strutted
about, whetting his beak on his perch
and showing off all kinds of antics.
When Jack said that he would bid us
good evening the parrot suddenly ex-
claimed:
"'Goodby.'
Every one laughed, and doubtless
this excited the parrot to further re-
mark.
"'Give me another, Beck cried the
bird.
Our porch was furnished with an
electric light, which Jack and l always
kept turned off. Tonight it was turned
on, and my crimson cheeks betrayed
Rogers meaning. Jack in confusion
was walking away when the parrot
cried out:
"'Come back, Jack. You may have

Il turned and ran into the house and
up to my room, where l suffered no
end Of modification. l knew the story
would soon be all over town, and it
was. Every time Jack met an ac-
q%uaintance he vas hailed with the
words Give me another and my girl
friends tainted me with Come back,
Jack; you may have one more The
result was that Jack was driven into
matrimony with me and l with him.
We were married and have lived hap

"YOU QUIT NDDIN'," She SAID TO THE PRESIDENT
If Mr.. Wilson Called You BY Phone

That Way?-LittIe Miss
TumuIty Did.

Miss Mary Tumulty, eldest daughter
of President Wilson's secretary, was
thirteen years old a short time ago.
On her birthday the Tumulty telephone
rang, and Miss Mary was called. When
she said "Hello!' a voice on the other
end of the wire replied:
This is President Wilson. 1 want
to congratulate you ON your birthday"
You quit kiddin',' said Miss Mary.
You can't fool me-"
why, this is the president" the
voice replied. Il trust you do not OBJ

Mr.. Tumulty appeared and immedi-
ately assured his daughter she was not
being "kidded." but was really talking
with the president of the United States,
and then Miss Mary dropped the re-
ceiver, trembling.

IRISH CROCHET.


One admirable use of Irish crochet
was made by a well known New York
dressmaker whose customer had great
quantities of this lace and wanted to
use 1t. An entire clinging underrobe
was made of the lace, and this was en-
tirely yelled in a deep electric blue
chiffon, SO sheer hat all the bold pat
tern of the lace could be seer through
1t. This chiffon overdress was quite
without trimmings, but the skirt was
full n fioated out from the narrow
under silhouette in cloud-like fashion.
A wide girdle of silver tissue was
wound round the waist and a very
narrow line of silver lace finished the
shallow round neck and the loose, short
bell sleeves. To any one who has a
left over frock of Irish crochet and
net such as was worn so generally
some years ago this idea should COM
mend itself.

For the p aper's Younger Readers
HOW THE "FAT MAN" GROWS.
Explaining a Stage Trick Which Has
Mystified Many.

How many of the readers of this pa
per have seen the fiat man. trick in a
pantomime and wondered how it was
done? One of the characters in the
pantomime sits at a table and raven-
ously eats dish after dish of food that
a servant brings to him. Presently
the man, who, like mos eat
! ers, was rather thin and scrawny. be-
gins to grow plump. His clothes fit
him snugly. His waistcoat steadily
swells out under the very eyes of the
audience. All the while he is eating
like a sausage machine. In a few
minutes he has grown to be a giant
eight or nine feet tall and with the pro-
portions of an inflated balloon. How
is 1t done? To begin with, of course the
food Is not real food. 1t is ingeniously
made of tissue paper-joints, vegeta-
bles. fowls and even the bread-and the
actor chews it up into little pellets
while using his napkin. His clothes
are all of rubber and made to fit air
tight around the wrists and neck. In
sitting down he puts the heel of n
boot over a little trap in the stage. An
assistant below Immediately couples a
tube running from a bellows to n hole
in the boot heel. Then he blows him
up. BY the time the suit has grown so
big that there is danger of bursting the
wind supply is cut off and the boot heel
is plugged up. Then by an ingenious
arrangement of springs under the ac-
tors feet the height is acquired.
