Potato Peeling Race.

A potato peeling race is good fun IL
the party is informal and the guests
not too daintily clad. The hostess pro-
vides a clean potato for each guest.
and at a signal ali start peeling at
once. The one who gets through first
and produces an unbroken peel gets
the prize. This is more fun than an
apple peeling contest because of the
little knots and eyes In the potatoes.

Snow In Central park. New York city.
is a great source Of pleasure to the
little people who live in the vicinity of
the city's greatest playground. The
young miss in the picture. who Is SO
gayly taking advantage of the fun
provided by a fall Of snow, is Miss
Frances Robbins. daughter Of Mr.. Hen
ry Pelham Robbins. She Is making the
most of the snow. Lying fat on her
speedy sled. she Is dashing down the
hill, shouting to those in her path to
clear the way. Such scenes are very
common in New York city this winter,
as old King Boreas has been kind
enough to send his snow sprites to dis.
tribute his fayors in the big town.
Grown people don't care SO very much
for snow In the city. but the little peo-
pie think it's splendid fun.

the way, contributed three cars to the
ambulance corps. If you happen to run
across them you might let me know if
they're proving useful. can send more
of the same make if they're holding up.
"But how will know which are yours?'
Oliver asked.
"My names on them," glowed Uncle
Percy. Each car has plate with the
donors name. A splendid idea
After dinner his uncle went to the hotel
door with Oliver. He swore because
there was no taxicab to be had.
"Why stop at the Ritz" he demanded
loudly of the porter, "if the ordinary COM
forts are denied one?"
"No matter, uncle" said Oliver. 3I'n
walk"
@Good night said Uncle Percy.
@Good luck, my boy. l haven't been
home in ten years. But, by the Lord
Harry, if this thing keeps up, I'll go back
next election to cast my vote"
Oliver walked to his hotel. He sud-

if he flew over Washington and dropped
bombs on the White House.
AT the big aviation camp just outside
of Paris, they were unwinding the red
tape, clearing away the difficulties, to the
end that Oliver might fly for France. The
delay annoyed him. Despite some jolly
parties with his friends, Paris was getting
on his nerves. 1t was horribly quiet--and
so many women in black. And children
this frightful habit Of putting mourning
on children-it was not fair to onlookers:
so depressing. Uncle Percy had said the
same thing,
Finally Oliver was admitted to men,
bership in an aviation corps. For time
he was tried out cautiously. Assigned to
the defense Of Paris, he flew only in the
neighborhood Of that city. Then he was
sent down to the trenches, and allowed
to take part in the work Of directing the
fire of the big French guns.
1t was during this period that he
chanced to be, one evening, at hospital
base where one Of the ambulance squads
