OLD SHOES.

For instance, both a soul mate lose,
Both have been tanned, both are mad'

Both get left and right.
Both need a mate to be complete, and botl
Both need healing; Oft are sold.
And both in time turn all to mould.
With shoes the last is first,
With men the first shall be the last.

PARTY GAMES
(Frop Mrs. F. A. ~, washington. }
In reply to Mrs. J. D. for few party
games enjoyed by children of either
sex, ages to 10.
The old standby Going to Jeru-
salem," or more currently, I believe
called Musical Chairs"
Potato race.
Tossing cards in a hat.
Hide the thimble, in a conspicuous
place so no climbing is necessary
and no moving Of furniture, ash
trays, etc. Each child sits as he
finds the thimble. It is amazing
how long it takes to find a thimble
in plain sight.
Basket ball, an improvised "bas-
ket" Is made from a large paper
carton, bottom and top removed and
tied to a high-baeked chair. The
ball should be large. The children
shoot for the basket as in basket ball.

BABY SUPPLIES. .-
.' WASHING BLANKET.
(From Mrs. E. G. E., Arlingto7,.)
Layette: For B. c., Washington,
Mrs. o. T. c., Washington, has given
a wonderful list of supplies and !
can make a few suggestions. In
stead Of baby oil, find that plain
mineral oil is much better for baby.
It is heavier and even lasts through
the night. Also, for shirts, be sure
to get size 2, as they grow so quickly
when so tiny that you would soon
have to buy larger sizes. For clean
ing noses I 0aving tried alb fine
a large kitchen match with the
head cut Off, with cotton around it
is the best. 1t is blunt and will
not harm the tender nose and car
be used over and over with clear
cotton. If you do not intend to uss
a bathinette and baby outgrows tn,
basin, a rubber mat in the big tut
is good and keeps baby from slip
ping. A good all-around book car
be obtained from the Department O.

(From1 N. r. B., HyattspilIe.)
Some time ago reader requested
information about removing stair

I wished the same information ant

factured the polish. They suggested
the following: Spread on a little sof

Let it remain until quite soft, bu
not runny, then scrape 1t up toware

fabric, unless some chemical ha.
been previously used which ma,
have set the stain.
