The Daily Fun Hour
THREE EN-

This is n of the many variations
of "Three Deep" or Third Man. In
this form the players march in double
column to a marching song, such as
"Three Cheers for the Red, White and
Blue" or cover There When the song
ends they form a circle and dance
around with clasped hands, then face
each other in double circle formation,
leaving sufficient space between part
ners for the escaped prisoner.
The escaped prisoner and the
guardsman are the last couple in the
march, They do not join the circle,
but stand outside the double ring,
not close, but directly opposite. AS
soon as the other players stand in
double formation the guardsman pur-
sues the prisoner around the circle,
or in and out. The object of the
game is for the guardsman to tag the
prisoner. If he succeeds in doing
this, the two change places, the form
er guardsman becoming the prisoner
and the former prisoner, now the
guardsman, pursuing him around the
circle.
At any time a prisoner may find
safety by running in between two
partners and standing there in the
space provided. Then the guardsman
must call, Three guardsman!" and
Immediately the partner to whom the
former prisoners back is turned, be-

No. 7-How to Make Curtains

In making glass curtains, be sure
first to have accurate measurements
of the window at which they are to
be hung. This will save much trouble
some alteration afterward. If the
bottoms are to be weighted-and it is
often advisable to weight thin, sheer
material-allow for a little stretching
The bottom of the curtain should just
escape the sill.
Make the bottom hens wide-two
and a half to three inches will not
be too much if the curtains are not
to be edged with some sort of trim
ming. The hens at the sides may
be either of the same OF of less width.
The heading at the top should be an
inch and a half to two inches deep.
The rings by which the headings
are attached to the rods may be sewn
or hooked to the heading just below
the top of the curtain.
To make the curtains hang well
and keep them in place a loaded tape
may be sewn inside the whole length
of the bottom hem.
If the curtains are trimmed with
gimp, make both bottom and side
hens not quite the width of the gimp
and sew it on so that the fringe will
just come free of the edges of the
hem.

the little old gray man
Tommy Cat would like us to put
the bird houses on the lawn" said
the Birdhouse Hermit. Then he
would have easy hunting whenever
he wanted a bird for lunch. But we
are going to put these bird houses
out of Tommy Cats reach"
The Bird House Hermit got an ak
and a saw from his little old gray
wagon, and led Jack and Janet into
the woods. He searched until he
found a tall, straight young sapling.
He cut this down and trimmed off
the branches-all except five limbs
that forked off from the trunk away
away at the top. Each of these five
limbs curved outward and then up
ward.
At the tip of one of the limbs the
little old gray man set up a tiny
bungalow, bracing it so it would
stand firmly no matter how much the
pole might be shaken by the wind.
At the tip of a second limb the little
old gray man put a cottage. At the
tip of a third he put a store; at the
tip of a fourth he placed the fire
engine station, and at the very top
of the tallest limb he placed the
church.
"Hurrah !" cried Janet in delight.
THAT makes a village in the air"
"Ho! Hoi Ho! laughed the Bird
House Hermit. And tomorrow the
village will be filled with happy birds
gaily singing"
Janet noticed that the doors of the
buildings on the pole were very small.
Can birds get in there?" she ask.
ed.
1.-THE kind of birds we want to get
in can" laughed the Bird House
Hermit.
The doors had narrow Sits running
up and down and sidewise from them.
What are those Sits for?" asked
Jack.
Ho! Ho! Ho! Those Sits are a bit
of cleverness on my part" laughed
the little old gray man. when Mr..
and Mrs. Wren bring straws and
sticks to build their nests inside the
houses they can get them through
those Sits without any trouble. Other
wise the straws and sticks would
catch against the sides of the door"
The little old gray man dug a hole

in this. Jack and Janet held the
pole steady while he packed the
earth arond it, making it stand solid.
Another house, with larger doors,
was placed at the end of a taller
pole. This is for the Purple Mar
tins" explained the little old gray
man.
other tiny houses he hung from the
branches of trees about the door
yard. "These are for the Blue Birds
and such songsters as want to dwell
neal you," he said.
Last of all, the little old gray man
brought out of his wagon a neat sign
which he fastened to the pole that
held the Wren village. This sign
said:
BIRDTOWN
Price Cosy Apartments-For
Rent
Songs at Dawn and Songs at Twi-
light.
THAT is just like signs | have seen
on city apartments" said Jack. "But
the city apartment signs say: No
Children Wanted"
"Ho! Ho! Ho" laughed the little old
gray man. I'VE will fix that" With
crayon pencils he neatly added eight
words to the sign. Jack and Janet
laughed when they saw the words.
(What do you think the eight words
were? In Fridays chapter Jack and
Janet find a mystery in B~irdtown.)

Where shall we put them?" cried
Jack, glancing around the yard.

Janet. There the birds will have
nice grass on which to walk"

if the birds didn't have bad neigh

Jack and Janet looked up quickly.
The B%irdhouse Hermit was pointing
to a sunny spot on the porch. There
lay Tommy Cat, gazing at them with
curious eyes.

Corn and Peppers in a Chatting Dish
Shave corn from cobs, taking care
to use only tender corn. Shave a
large sweet pepper and season with
salt and pepper. Melt a large piece
of good butter in the chatting dish,
add the corn and for a minute.
Then stir for the last time. In two
minutes it is ready to serve. There
may be those who prefer half butter
and half cream, but with only butter
used the result is more unusual and
the dish is more like an entree than
like a vegetable. 1t makes a fine dish
for the evening supper, or where
lunch is served in the middle of the
day it takes the place of a meat.
