GAME IS MOST INTERESTING
my Lady Wants Her Whole Toilette"
Causes Players to Make Wild
Scramble for Seats.

In this game the players are all
seated in a ring, and each takes for
name some article of toilette, such
as brush, glove, or something of the
kind. One of their number stands
in the center of the room and twists
small tray or bread-board quickly
round, at the same time calling out
the name Of one of the articles. She
must run forward quickly and catch
the tray before it falls. If she fails
to do this she goes back to her seat,
but If she catches it she takes the
place Of the turner.
Sometimes the cry is MY lady
wants her whole toilette" and at these
words everyone jumps up and makes
a rush for the chairs, including the
turner, and the one left without seat
must take her place in the center, and
the game then goes on as before.

So the baby slept and Bella skated,
and after awhile IL was time to go
home. and no one thought of the
baby
Bella took off her skates and ran
with the others across the lots to the
road that led to the village.
Just as she entered the yard she

her and ran TO the door; but Bella
did not stop; she ran down the street

was no carriage to be seen, then she
thought of the gypsies that were
camped at the other side of the viii
lage and began to cry; what II they
had stolen her baby brother and she
would never see him again.
There was nothing to do but go
home and tell her mother, and Bella
went with a sad heart and hurrying
feet. crying as though her heart would
break.
She ran into the house, and there
sat her mother with the baby held
tight in her arms.
BELLA ran up to him, but her mother
pushed her away. mo, you do not

let you take him out again, and as you
do not love him. do not want you to
hold him or kiss him until you do"
Bella sobbed and begged to be al

brother enough to take good care oi

Bella was very much ashamed, a
well as frightened, but 1t was a lon
