out the formality of introductions, thus
following the precedent of voyagers
aboard ocean liners. This should be
signed by the host or hostess.
Supply passengers with sheets of
paper cut ship shape and having pen
ellis attached instead of anchors. Be-
tween the Soundings of a whistle, pas
sengers are requested by the Captain
(Who is either the host or hOStesS) to
write down the names of all sea craft
which can be remembered during that
time. A prize is awarded the pas
Senger who gives the longest list OF
correct boats. A picture of ship is
suggested, or some article having ship
worked on it or pictured on it.
Passengers are seated in circle, sup
,posedly about a cabin with one chosen
as captain in the center. He calls out
ship ahoy-What ship do you Sight?'
AS he says this he points to one of
the passengers who must name some
sea craft before the captain finishes
counting ten. Failure to name one
not previously given, causes the pas
senger to change places with the cap
tain. No person can be captain twice.
At a second failure, he or she drops
from the game. The passenger re-
naming longest in the cabin wins a
prize. A miniature boat of some kind,
with every available space filled with
candy as cargo, makes an appropriate
prize.
There should be dancing on deck"
or in the cabin" of the ship at some
time during the entertainment. Lit
tie painted ships (two alike) can be
matched to secure partners for this.

finest lobster grounds in the world
During those prosperous years Canada
alone caught 100000000 in single

Male Holsters molt many more times

At this time they are lean and Watery'

AAI crying cure for all human

v knows the cure. This is
especially true about chill
dren. Nobody knows exactly what is
best for the ailing erring child. The
wiSest can only say, "TIy this and hope
for the best"
Each child errs according to his ma
ture and it is not given to us to un-
derstand human nature nor the way OF
the individual child as he grows into
a place in the world. We can study all
children and learn some important
things about them and feel certain
of our knowledge. We learn that they
need milk and cereal and eggs and
green vegetables and fruit and a little
meat and touch of sweets. When We
come to deal with a particular child,
the one who sits scowling in his little
chair at the breakfast table all we
have learned wobbles hopeleSsly and We
are Confounded by this little goblin IN

It Is a mistaken idea that GU
cumbers must be soaked in cold
water for some time before serv-
ing to remove the poison in
them. They are not poisonous.
Slice them and cover with ice

Keep a pail Of water near the
sand bin in which carrots and
beets are stored during the Win
ter. This provides the moisture
required to preserve vegetables in
a cellar that is dry.
Elderberries to be used in
making jelly should be picked
before they are ripe. Never pick
when wet. The pectin or jelly
making properties are lost when
fruit is wet.
Lemon sirup is made by adding
tWo-thirds cup Of lemon juice to
