THIS is the season when all good
l. hostesses turn their thoughts
to entertaining their guests, on
the long winter evenings when
calls are apt to extend, and when
we do a good deal more entertain
ing than we do at other times of
the year. Games are still the
vogue, and the hostess who can
provide a new and entertaining
one is sure to be popular. The
newest game we've found is "4-5-6,
Pick Up Sticks" and it's nice be-
cause each game takes only a few
minutes, and because any number
of people, few or many, can play.
It's made up of big bunch of
variously colored sticks. You grasp
them in one hand and let them
scatter on the table. Then the
first player starts picking up sticks
=. being careful not to move the
others. There are all sorts of
amusing rules, and lots of fun en-
sues when the luckless player
makes a bad move. The final
count is according to the sticks re-
trieved. The game is grand for
the family, too, and costs but 25c.

the best man holds the position of
greater honor in the wedding

The gifts are usually given to

are given at some time before the

Also. the groom usually provides

are sent to the church where the

Some are simple in cOloring,

There are few of us who under

it need not embarraSS us either,
as it is only within the last few
years it has been brought to our
attention.
1t was not taught in our schools,
and the only study of the subject
was made by men Of research and
science. Even now we are not
obliged to include any part of it
in our general education, but for
our own satisfaction it is nice to
know what is meant by vitamins.
We receive inquiries occasionally
from readers who ask where vita
minis may be bought and how
many are necessary, so we will
give you just little information
on the subject.
Vitamins are substances Of un-
known composition and contained
in foods, but in minute quantities.
