One of the games is for them especially. The game for adults and the contest can be enjoyed by many of the younger generation “also'as’ well as those of adult age. The first game is for the youngsters’ who dre old enough to spell. The game .is; called. “Thanksgiving Dinner at Grandma’s.” The little folk should sitin chairs arranged in-a circle. ‘The leader stands in the center and asks the question, “What will grandma serve for: Tl ving ‘dinner?” .and names a letter of the alphabet, imme- diately pointing to some one in the circle and counting 10. The child must name some article of food beginning with that letter. It The Daily . Large spiders. . Female sheep. . Proceed. . A bone. . Conducted. . Serbian river. . Compass point. .

Thanksgiving Game and Contest N'S PAGE does not actually have to be a dish that grandma would serve, but it must be some article of food—either a pre- pared dish, a condiment, spice, fruit, etc. Any edible will do. If the child fails to answer correctly before 10 is reached he must change places with the leader in the center and do the questioning. When a leader remains in the center after five quese tions have been successfully answered he may, if ke chooses, call out, “Dinner is served.” This is the signal for all to change places as in stage coach. This gives the leader a chance to secure ; a seat if he is quick. The player left | standing now becomes the leader and puts the question. This is a game for adults. One is questioner. He may ask any question whatsoever. It is the part of the one answering to bring in the word “turkey” somehow as reasonably as possible in the reply. The word may refer to the bird, the country or the slang expres- sion. The reply must be given without any Jaughing or even smiling. If the person does change countenance he | must also change places with the ques- | tioner or pay a forfeit, whichever the group decides shall be the penalty. If the person being questioned does not start to reply before the one asking the question finishes counting 10 they must exchange places, This is an amusing game. | (Copyright, 1928, Everyday Law Cases Which Clauses in Fire Insurance Policies Should Be Noted by Insured? | BY THE COUNSELLOR. Buyers of fire insurance are accus- tomed to place thelr insurance with a friendly broker without regard to the terms of the policy. When the policy is delivered to the insured he notes the property it covers and the term of years, and then locks it in his safe without further examination. Fire policies are carefully restricted as to their enforceability and, unless the insured obtains proper indorse- ments, he may learn that his policy is not effective. The following are & few important indorsements that can be easily ob- attained on request: 1. That the existence of a chattel mo on personal . property does not avoid the policy. . That the ownership is joint or in_a partnership. 3. That other insurance does not avoid_policy. 4. Permission for vacancy or unoc- cupancy, pending changes or absence. 5.

Continuing the discussion of the auction, we will now take up the com- pletion of the bidding and the naming of the declarer. After the first bid has been made, the npext player on the left may pass, double or over-call. To over-call a bid that kas been previously made, it is | necessary to do one of two things—bid {a larger number of tricks, or id an equal number of tricks in a higher- valued suit. Supposing the dealer, whose position is called South, opens the auction by bidding one heart; West on the left of the dealer and the second hand in the bidding, could then pass, double the one heart or make a higher bid. A higher bid would be one or more of the higher-vllued declaration. For instance, one no trump, one spade or two of a lower-valued declaration, namely, two diamonds or two clubs. Now supposing West to bid one spade, it would then be North’s turn to bid, North being the partner of South and third hand in the auction. North would have the privilege of , doubling West’s one spade or of making a higher declaration. One no trump, two diamonds, two clubs or two hearts would be a higher declaration than ‘West's bid of one spade. Now suppose North should bid two diamonds, it would then be East's turn to bid, and he, in the same way, would have the gflvilege of passing, doubling North's id of two diamonds or of making a | higher bid. The last bid made is the only one which may be double; a playsr cannot double his partner's bi If East should pass, it would be South’s second turn, and he could pass or make any higher bid. He could not double because his partner made the last bid. The bidding continues ir this waz, each player’s turn coming after. that of his adversary on the right, until three successive passes are made; that ends the auction and the last bid becomes the contract. The vlayer who first for his side named the suit or no trump of the con- tract becomes the declarer: his partner is the dummy. It doés not matter what bids have intervened, or who makes the last bid; the declarer is that ons of the pair which gets the contract, who first called the declaration that is finally selected. The question, “Who is declarer?” so frequently puzzles beginners that the following_illustrations are given: First—Dealer bids one heart, second hand passes, third hand bids two hearts, fourth hand passes; dealer passes, second hand passes. You will see by this that dealer becomes declarer be- cause he first bid one heart. Being raised by his partner does not make the partner the declarer. Here is another illustration: Dealer bids one spade, second hand passes, third hand passes, fourth hand bids two diamonds; degler bids two hearts, second hand passe@ third hand (partner of dealer) bids two spades, fourth hand ids three diamonds, dealer passes; second hand passes, and third hand (dealer’s partner) bids three spades, fourth hand passes, dealer passes and second hand passes, thereby coming back to third hand, who was the last bidder, thus ending the auction,” and the dealer becomes declarer because he first bid one a?lde. This third illustration is very in- teresting, and I want you to read it very carefully. Dealer bids one no trump, second hand two no trump, third hand (dealer’s partner) bid: three spades (thereby over-calling second hand’s bid). Fourth hand bids three no trump, dealer , second hand passes, third hand passes, and the second hand becomes declarer at three no trump, as he was the first one of the pair that won the auction. to declare no trump. This is an example of where he over-called dealer’s one bid by making & two bid of the same 14 declaration. Spnlln{ devices. 2. Reverential fear. 9. Constellation. 10. High feelings. 20, Metric unit.

It is now several weeks since we divulged the great iron and, tea secret here—you know, the use of a hair-darkening lotion made of a pint of black tea and a piece of cop- peras (that is, iron sulphate) the size of a kernel of corn—and at this writing tle vote stands one to nothing against the iron and tea method.

I have used it carefully for over five years without ill effect. Pray tell me why I should have any ill effect? You trach that the skin does not abosrb, and I certainly do not drink it.

WORLD FAMOUS STORIES AN OLD COUPIE. BY PIERRE LOTL (Pierre Loti, born in 1850, {s a French novelist. His fame rests chiefly on the novel “Madame Chrysantheme.”) Toto-San and Kaka-San were hus- band and wife. They were very old— so old that everybody had always known them. The oldest inhabitants did not remember when these two had ever been young. They were beggars in the street— Toto-San, who was blind, dragged after him in a sort of wheel-chair his wife, Kaka-San, who was paralyzed and could not walk. She was his eyes and his intelligence. She told him the way. And he was her legs and locomotion— he pulled her wherever she thought it best for them to go. ‘Their manner of begging was not bold. They did not bother passers-by with Ele-dlnn They simply held out their ands, in silence—poor old hands, wrinkled like those of mummies. The people were always polite to them, as the Japanese are, and gave them alms to the best of their ability—rice, heads of fish, old soups, occasional small coins. They went to religious festivals celebrated in the temples. They took ur their position at the foot of some old idol in granite, under the great black , which shade the sacred meadows. The devotees would glve them help, however small it might be. ‘With the setting cf the sun this old couple sank into tlLemselves, fatigued with another day of useless life, another day older, another day nearer that grave which they were already so near. Nothing at night could animate the forms of these human derelicts. ‘Who knows what passed in those two old Japanese heads? Perhaps nothing whatever. They struggled to keep on living. They ate with their little chop- sticks, helping each other tenderly. ’n;;y covered each other up from the cold. Once every week Toto-San combed his wife’s beloved hair. Her arms were paralyzed so she could not raise them quite high enough to fix her Japanese coiffure. Trembling and fumbling, in his blindness, Toto-San had learned how to do it. As he worked he caressed the poor old head, which allowed itself to be stroked with coquettish abandon. Her hair was thin, and Toto-San did not find much to comb on the poor yellow parchment of her ucalgg He suc- ceeded, however, in fixing the hair up in puffs, after the Japanese fashion. She, absorbed in the process, watched him in a plece of broken mirror and gave him instructions here and there. They also went through their ablu- tions conscientiously, for it is a tradi- tion to be very clean in Japan. After 5o long it must have been an unavoid- able habit. They had done them so often in so many long years! Did the cold and pure water give them new life each day? Did they experience a little more comfort in the freshness of each new morning? This was wretchedness indeed—to feel, each morning, a little older than the before, a little more stiff, a little less able to meet the cares and worries of life in the world. Yet to wish obstinately to live on, to display their decrepitude in the light of day, to set out on that same route which they had followed for years in their beseeching, silent plea for alms. One morning, in the Ids, death suddenly caught old Kaka-San. It was a beautiful April morning—the sun was beautifully and the grass seemed to very green.
