How, When and
Where Quiz

A good guessing game for . party
or informal gathering Is called
How. When and Where"
One Of the players. the questioner,
leaves the room, and the other play
ers then decide on one word. 1t
should be noun, and the more DIFF
ferent meanings it has, the better.
Such words as cord" pain" and
hand are good examples.
When the word is chosen, the
questioner comes into the room, and
begins by asking each Of the others.
HOW do you Hike it?" Suppose the
word hand" has been chosen. One
might answer "Fu1l of money" an
other with lots of aces" "a hand of
playing cards., and still another
Strong and willing" "a hired hand).
When he gets all the how" an
swers. the questioner then asks each
player WHEN he likes 1t. and each
player answers as before, in any ap-
propriate way Thus answers might
be "All the time" During harvest
season." when I have to reach,
when my head itches," when I
cut my fingernails." and so on
Finally the WHERE question is asked
and the replies might be, In my
hand" (the card hand AGAIN., I'm
my pocket" In the cookie jar" and
so on.
Usually the word is discovered
long before alt the questions are
asked. The player whose answer
leads to the discovery of the word
becomes the next questioner.
Try this game at your next
party-you are sure to enjoy it.

(Mo) lumberman. When she began
depicting the amusing adventures OF
"Cuddles and Tuckie." only the boy
was real Little Winthrop-or Tuck,
as his parents have always called
him-was the direct inspiration for
the boy in "Cuddles and Tuckie,"
but the girl was a creature of Mrs.
Williams imagination.
For four years, "Cuddles and
Tuckie" was written and drawn
around the activities of the real
Tuckie and his imaginary sister,
Cuddles. Then the real Cuddles was
born-a cuddly girl who. strangely
enough. has grown to look very
much like the flctional character
that her mother had been drawing
as q playmate for Tuckie.
Now Mrs. Williams bases practi-
cally all her "Cuddles and Tuckie"
adventures on the activities of the
real Cuddles and Tuckie.
"All have to do is watch them"
she said, "and put what they do and
say into verse and on drawing paper.
With real characters to work with,
there's never any danger Of running
out of interesting material. And
after they've grown up, I'll still
have my memories to draw on
why, my supply Of material Is vir-
tuallv ineyhaustih1e
Mrs. Williams was born in Kansas
City. She studied at Pine Manor
School. Wellesley. Mass, and later
at the Kansas City Art Institute.
She married in 1926, and Tuck was
born four years later.
"Cuddles and Tuckie" has never
missed making its Sunday appear
ance, despite the fact that Mrs.
Williams has been i'll twice since
she began the feature. Some Of the
drawings were made on a board
propped on her knees while she was
in a hospital.
Many pets have been named for
Cuddles and Tuckie, but Mrs. Will
hams is proudest of the bull in Bing
Crosby's picture, Rhythm on the
Range"
The artist author works in a
studio in the basement of her home
"a room called THE Stoop Low
Studio" because it is necessary to
duck low to get through the door.
Her children have a merry go
round, swing, a tree house and
cave in the back yard.

You can obtain good sized blotters

Obtain q strip fof copper Of good

Secret of Silk Once
Known Only in China

Although silkworms are now cul-
tivated in many parts Of the world
in order to obtain the lovely product
which they make, at one time the
secret of producing this cloth was
known only in China, where 1t was
jealousy guarded.
Raising silkworms was q great in
dustry in China as long ago as 2,600
years before the Christian era. Try
as they might, other nations were
unable to learn the secret Of max
ing the fine cloth. But, according
to the story, a faithless Chinese
princess finally betrayed her country
by carrying to India some of the
eggs of the silk moth and the seeds
of the mulberry tree upon which it
fed concealed In her headdress.
From India the secret gradually
spread to the West, although it did
not reach Europe until the sixth
century.
