CLEVELAND, OHIO.
From L. K, BellemeadJ
This letter Is a partial reply to
Mrs. P E. W., Alexandria, con-
corning her request for informa-
ton about Cleveland, Ohio. The /
very best elementary school know
of is Memphis Elementary School,
located in South Brooklyn, a di-
vision of Cleveland. South Brook
lyn is a quiet, middle-class resi-
Dental section. Youngsters may
progress at whatever speed they /
desire. Fol the more alert, French
lessons are offered. The grades or |
marks are outstanding, SatiSfac- |,
tory and unsatisfactory. The
catch is, you must live in the dis
trict to send your child to the |,
school. There are classes for all |
types of students. normal, above .
average, and below average. You |
might like to contact the Cleve-
land Board of Education also, be- /
cause the various schools, I believe,
from seventh grade up, are CLASH
fed as frs, second or third grade !
schools. My suggestion to you for |
a compaI ison of rentals would be
to obtain copies of the Cleveland
Press, Cleveland News or Cleve-
land Plain Dealer from one of the
small newsstands along Pennsyl-
vania avenue. There are many |
lovely sections in and around
Cleveland which might be suit
able. Your final location will, of
course, depend upon your financial
status. There is adequate public
transportation to almost anywhere |
in Cleveland. The downtown |
shopping section extends from the
Public Square to Fourteenth street, :
straight down Euclid avenue.
There are many Supermarkets in
the various communities, so you
will not have far to go to shop.
Also food prices are bit more
reasonable than are Washington
prices. Cleveland is very social
place-tnere is always something |
going on to fit every taste. II
hope this chatter will be Of some
assistance
CARD GAMES FOR CHILDREN.
From Mrs. D. A. K,
Seat PLEASANT
Mrs. j. S. L., Chevy Chase: Here
are three other card games your
children may like. 4
Pickups: The cards are placed
face down. on the fiool with none
overlapping. Each person takes a
turn picking up two cards, show
ing them to every one and placing
them face down Oh the floor
again. AS the turn comes round
again one card is picked up and
the player attempts to remember
where another of the same de-
nomination (such a two fours)
has been laid down to pick it up
to form a pair which is placed
beside him as his own. The play
er who has the largest number of
pairs when the pack is picked upIl
wins.
Pig: A set of four cards such as
four twos is taken from the pack
for each player. All of these sets
are shuffied and four dealt to
each person who keeps his cards
hidden from the other players.
Each player takes one card which
will not complete the set he wishes
from his hand and passes it face
down to the player on his left
who picks it up and sees if it will
complete his desired set. If it'll
will, he keeps it and passes on an
unwanted one. The first player
to make a set puts his forefinger
beside his nose and sits still with
his hand of cards still held. Each
player who sees this must place
his forefinger beside the nose i'm
mediately. The last one to do
so is a pig" and to become pig"
three times makes one a ''hog"
who must drop from the game.
The last remaining player wins.
Names: The pack is divided into
equal piles each placed before a
player face down. Each player
takes a name of an animal or
each the name of a flower. Each
turns over card from his pile in
unison with the others. When
two Of the same denomination
come up at the same time, the
two or sometimes three o. more
players involved try to say the
name of the opponent before his
own is said. The one to succeed
gives away his turned over pile
to the loser and the first to lose
all of his cards wins.
