Norfolk Club.

Norfolk Club.
Norfolk vocalists will have a
splendid opportunity to develop
their voices when the plan of
the music department of the
Norfolk Woman's club to organize
community chorus is in full OPP
Grafton. Mrs. E. B. Watson, head
of that department, announces that
it has been definitely decided to or
ganize such chorus and that prac-
tice will begin after the first of the
year.
Prof. ]. J. Coleman, head of the
musical department of the Wayne
state normal school, has agreed to
come to Norfolk frequently to direct
the singing and the local leaders
plan to hold weekly meetings with
the idea Of eventually putting on a
sacred cantata.

exciting as base ball. For 1t divide
the company into two bands and let
each band appoint a catcher and a
pitcher. Give the catcher of each
band tin cup with a handle. Cut
circles Of cardboard to serve a.
basis for pitchers and catchers to
stand on. The catchers' bases should
be laid on the carpet at the opposite
side of the room from the pitchers
bases. Each pitcher has a certain
number Of grains-such as corn ker-
nels or beans. With some small
grains such a. barley or rice. the
number in each pitchers saucer or
bag must be exactly the same as
those in the other pitchers recepta-
Gle. When the signal is given the
pitchers begin to throw the grains
one by one to their respective catch
ers Of their sides. The catcher who
loses most Of the grains thrown to
him becomes the prisoner of tho op-
ponent side. Two moro pitchers and
catchers are appointed, the others
returning to the ranks. and this con-
tinues until the sides have no more
men to appoint. That is, until
everybody has been both pitcher and
catcher in his turn. The side hav-
ing most prisoners wins the game.
OF course. you have all read of
Wilhelm Tell and his famous feat
with the apple. Here Is an exciting
way to initiate 1t without endanger-
ing the eyesight OF any one Of the
group. Get small board and drive
a strong nall through it. Turn it
over and press an apple down on
the nail, 80 as to hold the apple
firmly. Put the board with the ap-
pie on a table at the far end Of the
room. Now blindfold a player. In
the blind mans hand put a stick
shaped like an arrow. Or simply
use a meat skewer sharpened at the
point or an icepick. Turn the blind
man around three times and send
him to thrust the arrow in the ap.
pie. Usually he will go laughably
far from the mark and will try to
jab the empty air with his weapon,
causing much laughter among the
onlookers. Let each one have a try
as blind man.

Recently an educator was quoted
as holding that the esthetic expert
ence is unknown before the Adde'S
cent period. The writer of these
lines remembers certain quaint but
tons OF curious design and fascinat-
ing lustcr which in their day gave
him q sensation identical with that
which he has since known in the
presence Of certain thirteenth-cen-
fury windows and before some of
the paintings of Diaz. That mem
DRY is vivid, and the identity of the
sensation unmistakable-yet the
well-remembered buttons passed
from his experience with the pass
ing of dress which he wore in the
pre-bifurcated epochl Is it not a
fact that the spell of the esthetic is
something WHICH recalls the sense
of completeness and security which
our childhood feels oftener than any
later time of life? Scientific asser-
tons concerning esthetic expert
ences are sometimes more descrip-
tive of the limitations of language

Music In Play.

In their play children and grown
ups have from the beginning of time
made use of music. The wise edit
Gator will see to it that the play
spirit is utilized in developing real
knowledge and love of good music.
Some excellent collections of mo-
tion-songs have been published both
here and abroad which will delight
the younger children. They will
also greatly enjoy the listening
game" Let all close their eyes and
see which one can distinguish and
correctly name the largest number
of sounds-the wind in the leaves,
the ripple of the brook, the distant
note Of steam whistle or the
crunching OF dry snow underfoot.
Teach the children to listen to the
various bird-notes and to whistle
them or reproduce them on the pi-
ano. These listening games can be
almost endlessly varied and will
train boys and girls to pay heed to
the great world of sound, to discrim-
mate and to rejoice in its beauty.
For those somewhat older there is
no more charming game than to see
who can best express, in spontane-
Gus dancing the mood of some piece
of fine music. This is done in some
schools of interpretative dancing,
but it ought to be daily source of
enjoyment in every home.
It Is not necessary that parents
should be unsteady accomplished in
order to arouse their children's in
terest in music. What could be
more delightful than to gather
around the player piano or phono-
graph and listen to the Bird
Catcher's Song from the Magic
Flute and then to have father tell
the charming story of the opera,
while mother shows 4 picture of Mo-
Fart and later reads aloud the won
der-ta1e of his musical childhood.
At parties or home gatherings the
children will enjoy memory con-
test. Various compositions will be
played and the boys and girls will
see who can name correctly the
largest number of these and OF their
composers.
Such games will train the child's
ear, familiarize him with the best
music and be an endless source of
pleasure.

of Half
Hours Spent In
Good Reading

What | do venture to press upon
you is, that it requires no preterhu-
man force OF will in any young man
or woman-unless household cir
cumstances are more than usually
vexatious and unfavorable-to get at
least half an hour out of solid busy
day for good and disinterested read
ing. Some will say that this is too
much to expect, and the first persons
to say it, venture to predict, will
be those who waste their time most.
At any rate, if cannot get half an
hour, I will be content with quar-
ter. Now, in half an hour fancy
you can read Is or 20 pages of
Burke, or you can read one OF
Wordsworth's masterpieces-say
the lines on Tintern; or, say, one
third-if a scholar, in the original,
and if not, in a translation-of a
book of the Iliad or the Aeneid. l
do not think that I am filling the
half-hour too full. But try for your
selves what you can read in half an
hour. Then multiply the half-hour
BY $685. and consider what treasures
you might have laid by at the end of
the year.-Lord Morley.

Miss Rosie Quinn, whose dainty
dancing at the Century Grove, New
York, charmed Prince Aage of Dem
mark when he visited New York re-
cently-so much so that a dispatch
from London telling of the arrival
Of the prince and his impressions of
New York, quotes him as saying:
did you ever see daintier leading
chorus girl than Rosie Quinn at the
Century Grover" The prince dur
ing his visit to New York attended
the performance at the Century
Grove, occupying front row table.
He played SNOWFALL with Miss
Quinn, and had the honor of being
hit squarely between the eyes by a
cotton "snowba1l' thrown by Miss
Quinn in her SNOWFALL dance. Prince
Aage retaliated by throwing the
same SNOWFALL back and hitting the
petite dancer on her piquant nose.

CLUB DOM

than OF the nature of mind.
The Art alliance and the Art in
stitute together are undertaking an
exhibition of American toys. The
specific purpose of this exhibition is
to recognize the making of toys as
an art-an art in which the esthetic
is tangible element. This element
has been recognized in the toy max
ing of most OF the European coun-
tries, but in the past it has not been
conspicuous in our own. American
industry, however, even in few
months has manifested an astonish-
ing growth of faith in the beauti-
full, and it is believed that the time
is ripe even now to give the manu-
facturer an opportunity to show his
achievement or at least his effort in
this particular direction. 1t is hoped
that the proposed exhibition may be
one of series emphasizing this new
phase. ...
"The prime conditions which will
govern the committee in selecting
the toys for the exhibition will be:
I) Beauty or fitness of form and
color and (2) the true play-spirit
with Its stimulus to the imagination
and to constructive thinking. To
these ends the committee will be as
sisted by well-known students of
childhood as we'll as by toy produc-
ers, and with these aims in view ex-
hibits are being invited not only
from manufacturers, but from toy
makers of every walk, including even
children themselves. 1t is hoped by
the exhibition to accomplish, then,
threefold service: A service to
American industry by a recognition
of its art element-a leading-away
from the ugly, the ill-conceived and
the perfunctory; a service to Amer
lean art by the pointing out of
still unfrequented pathway toward
the ideal-a new vehicle Of express
sion, and a service to American
children by showing to them, to
their parents and to their great in
dustrial Santa Claus that the finer
thing is already becoming able,
and by the isolation of this finer
thing to give added force to its pres
ence in the markets"

Children.

| Children.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
We are two girls Of IA years OF
age. Would you be so kind as to
answer the following questions:
We like two boys here and do
you think it proper for us to come
home from ice skating with them?
When you wear a boys ring is
1t a sign he likes you?
Is 1t proper for us to go to dances
with them or with our mothers?
Should we wear our hair up or
down? We have quite a lot and
cannot let it hang loose.
Should we allow a boy to put his
arm around us?
Thanking you in advance and hop
ing to see our letter in print, we
remain, .A .--
There is no particular harm in
walking home from ice skating with
boy friends. You are decidedly too
young to take them seriously. Con-
slider them school friends, neigh
bors or anything you like, but sweet
hearts. There is no special signf1-
canoe to wearing a boys ring-it
often causes trouble when the ring
is lost. You are too young to go to
dances with any one. Night Is the
time for rest and sleep for children
who are growing. Wear your hair
down, by all means. 1t is very silly
to allow boys to put their arms
around you. Have moro dignity.
The Kiss at the Altar.
We have a great many inquiries
about the kiss at the altar. Is 1t
necessary? Why do we do it? How
was it started, ETC.? Clip the fol-
lowing for your hope chest scrap
book, so when the right time comes
you will know just what to do:
Jaw, can't they wait until they
| get homer" is what many little
page at his big sisters wedding has
said at least to himself, when, at the
conclusion of a ceremony, the happy
| man turned and kissed the bride.
| They kissed each other, of course,
but it is he who turned.
| No, little brother, they cannot
wait. 1t is part of the game. This
| is survival Of a custom of ancient
times when it preceded by longer
time the ceremony which 1t now
| ends.
In the days when public betroth-
ais or espousals were the general
practice, many an aspiring sutton
did not have the wherewithal to en-
dow his prospective bride with the
ring which was supposed to con-
summate the ceremony. However,
a kiss duly performed before wit
nesses was considered sufficiently
binding.
| Who will blame these ancestors
Of ours IL they came without rings
then, or having the ring. demanded
in addition the alternative, until
the official seal reverted back to ma
lures own?
And who will blame the modern
bridegroom II for lack Of cere-
mony Of betrothal he has chung to

his wedding day?

MOVE TO REVISE CALENDAR
Advocates Of Change Will Bring the
Matter to Attention Of League
Of Nations.

One Of the first projects to be laid
before the League Of Nations, when it
gets ready for new business. is one to
revise the calendar and make it uni
form throughout the world. Bureau
officials of the United States, Swizer-
land and Great Britain got into touch
with church officials before the war on
the subject of calendar revision, and
have kept up consideration of the mat
ter since. Church leaders say an
agreement has been reached and a
uniform report is nearly ready to go
to the league.
The calendar has not been revised
before because of objections from the
churches to dates for the great re
ligious feasts. These objections are
said to be removed. A fixed date for
Easter, the adding of a thirteenth
month, the making Of every week be-
gin with a Sunday and having exactly
% days in each nOnth-these are the
main features agreed on. Church peo-
pie favoriRg the revision say that if
the league itself cannot act, it can
designate a calendar congress to do
so, to sit at Geneva.

Careless Driver Apparently Unable to

took in the situation, and suggested:
"Spring the fence back, then he can
get his feet free.'
The owner of the horse did as he
was told. "NOw give him cut with
the whip and he'll get up himself"
This the owner also did. Then he
looked at the horse, up and ready for
travel, looked at himself, covered with
mud, and looked at the immaculate
gentleman in the road. Wrath filed
his soul.

just as much as If you'd helped me-"

Of his many experiences in various
parts of the world, that veteran dip

to Rome as British ambassador, has
many stories to tell. One of the most
amusing of these concerns a garden
party he gave on the occasion when
British minister at The Hague.
A British tourist and his wife were
presented to him, and the former
shook him warmly by the hand.
"Pleased to meet you, Sir George,
pleased to meet you," he said. '"The

SAYS BONUS MEANS ANOTHER LOAN

Granting an additional bonus to
service men would mean another large
government bond issue, which the
country is in no position to stand at
present, Secretary of the Treasury
Glass told the special house budget
committee a few days ago.
Glass strongly opposed the bonus,
claiming a majority of the service men
would consider it an affront to their
patriotism at a time when the govern
ment is sorely in need Of funds.
To-day the credit of the United
States is imperiled," he said, 'by prof.
ects initiated in congress to get the
soldier vote. I do not believe these
young men, if they realized what it is
that is proposed in their behalf, would

votes were cast against the league and
fifty-one in favor Of it.
eThe people are not interested in
