WOMAN’S PAGE. Game for Young Players BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKEE. EQUESTS have come in for more games for children, especially those which help train eye, ear and hand or those which quicken the mind to ready re- sponses. Young players should not be given an inkling that behind the fun there lurks any attempt to do more §F A CHILD DOES THE INTERRO: GATING, QUESTIONS SHOULD BE WRITTEN DOWN. than entertain. Immediately plli:n suspect that instruction is the intent the games lose the power of pure pleas- ure. The one given today is an adap- tation of an old English game, and it cannot fall to quicken the mind. Next week another game or two which will be described cultivate other faculties. Minding Your P'sand Q's.—The name of this e is significant, as upon it the whole game relies. Questions are ssked to which no replies can be given in words whose initial letters come be- fore these two in the alphabet. Or the reverse can be the rule and no word be- and Q can then be allowed. These dotters mark the alphabet into two dis- $inet divisions. ‘The questions can be hical or , or they can to definite such as botany, birds, etc. The first one is the favorite. A count of 10 should be given as the time limit for answers. re are examples of ques- tions and answers, which begin with lJetters after P and Q: Q—Name & city in Massachusetts. A—Salem. Q—Name & river in New Mexico. A—Rio Grande. The same answer cannot be given twice. Should botany be the subject of birds, one question can suffice, such as | name & plant or name & bird, but the Teplies must not be identical. When rose has once been given, it is barred out, or when wren among the birds has | the fatalist in her also, making her | feel that life is planned and we are | only fulfilling a prescribed part. | the “t” suggest a great generosity of tioner should be particular to make his questions restricted, as Q—Name a cooking utensil. A—Saucepan. Q—Give an article of footwear. A—This may be stockings, socks, shoes, slippers, rubbers, rubber tips, etc. Biographical (Before P's and Q's).— This is s prolific as the geographical game and can be restricted in a similar manner. For instance, persons can be grouped into discoverers, scientists, sclentists, statesmen, writers, artists, astronomers, chefs, etc, and questions | be put as follows: | Q—Name a man famous as an in- | ventor. | A—Edison, Bell, Marconi, etc. | Q—Name a well known {llustrator. A—James Montgomery Flagg, Jessie | wilcox Smith, etc. This game of remembering your P's and Q's has in itself so much latitude | that a mother has the opportunity to suit it to the children playing and their special interest at any time, as history when it is an absorbing topic in shchool, for example. Also & hostess can use the game to instill interest into a party when the humor of the oc- | caslon seems to be getting dull, and a change of topics is desirable. Handwriting What It May Reveal. BY MILDRED MOCKABEE. HERE are several unusual and dis- tinctive characteristics worthy of consideration in this hand- writing. The first noticed might be the ong, unfinished loop ending of the “g. ‘The writer's other loop letters were formed in the same unique manner, indicating that this is not & “freak” letter. It seems to denote a very practical sort of person, who deals not with ideas or plans, but with definite concerted action. She prob- ably is the type who believes that if she does what she thinks best all will come right, There may be a touch of The t-bar, Wwith the greater pre- ponderance of the line before the “t” is another unusual feature. It denotes a certain impatience of her own abili- ties. The second “t” in the sample, however, would seem to compensate for this, in that this particular letter formation is generally a sign of efi- clency. The markedly open “o” and base of She possibly is very emotional and sympathetic, feeling deeply any hurt or misfortune of others. In ail E’robcbmey she does all in her power alleviaie suffering and distress. We might find her interested in social service and community chest work. Here she could be in contact with those she desires to assist. | ""She, perhaps, is in great demand for | many social affairs. £he appears to have & sense of humor that would endear her to her friends and ac- quaintances. They, apparently, would enjoy her company, availing them selves of every o%m.umby to be with her. Children al might delight in her companionship, finding in her one who would sympathize with their little difficulties.

WASHINGTON, NATURE’S CHILDREN BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY. €ROW Illustrations by Mary Foley. Cornis Americanus. ROWS are said to be very clever creatures and are belleved to nd much of their time thinking up schemes to defeat the farmer. The scarecrows placed in the corn fields would not indicate that the crow had a very high I. Q. They are sup- posed to know the shortest route to reach a destination, and they can sit on the topmost branch of a tree, watch- ing the farmer plant his corn, later going to the very spot to get titbits. They make friendly and amusing pets and will swallow anything from mushrooms to tin whistles. Their voices have ever been hoarse. It may be that this results from swallowing sharp-edged articles, ‘With all his willingness to be adopted into the family circle, he does not trust you. His family is placed in the highest crotch of the tallest tree. But many a boy has climbed up, peeped in and lifted out a crow or two.

Paddy the Beaver, swimming under the ice of his pond deep in the Green Forest, had carefully wedged a stick, from which he had eaten the bark, into | his dam. It was at a place which his experienced eyes had shown him was not quite so strong as it might be. It was & good way to use the food sticks | after they had been stripped of their | bark. Thus nothing was wasted. Paddy, | who is nothing if not thrifty, cannot bear the thought of waste When the stick was placed to sult | the dam and thrust his head out for a | long breath of fresh air. He always did this when he visited the dam. He was nothing like good fresh air above Besides, he enjoyed havin look sround.

Can you say as much?” Again Old Man Coyote grinned. “No,” he admitted honestly. “No. cannot say as much as that. In fact. it is so long since I have had really enough to eat at one meal that I have quite forgotten what ii seems like.” “You do look rather thin. Yes, sir, you look rather thin” said Paddy. “Are the times really as hard as I have heard?” “Worse,” declared Old Man Coyote. “Much worse. have heard how bad they are. You really ought to see for yourself. Why not come out and take a little walk with me just to see how things really are in the Green Forest? I would love to show you around.” It was Paddy's turn to grin. “T don't doubt it. I don't doubt it in the least. I tell you what, you come with me first and let me show you how com- fortable Mrs. Paddy and I are under the ice, and then I will go with you to see how matters are in the Green Forest,” said he. “That wouldn't be fair,” replied Old Man Coyote. “You know perfectly well that I cannot live under the ice, but you cen travel on land.” “True enough,” replied Paddy. “True enough. But isn't it also true that I couldn’t live long on land traveling in your company?” “You don't know that that is so; you never have tried it,” retorted Old Man Coyote. “I don't Intend to” said Paddy. “What makes your mouth water s0?” Once more Old Man Coyote grinned. “I was just wondering what a good dinner would taste like,” said he. “I'm sorry, but I can't help you find out. I really can't,” replied Paddy, and then he grinned as he added, ‘‘unless you will join me at a dinner of bark down in my house.’” (Copyright, 1932.)

It is a matter of common complaint that astronomers have taken the friand- liness out of the stars. In place of the cheerful diamond glitter of little twin- kling chips upon the Winter night sky, magical and inconsequential as & snow- flake or & frost crystal, astronomers give us a picture of fiery suns of appalling temperatures and sizes that are rush- ing through space at inconcelvable speeds and upon destinations about which we can never know anything ex- | cept that all roads lead to ultimate death and destruction. | | If you don't want to come to an un- | forgettable realization of this fact, then | don't look through telescopes; they change one’s notions of the universe irrevocably, be it only such uninstructed looking as you and I might try. But there is one comfort in all this welter of freezing cold and incandescent heat, this furlous gyration and velocity, and that is that by naming the stars astronomers gave them odd individual- ity, and we can almost feel intimate with them. It is just possible to think | with fond affection of Betelguese and Aldebaran and Castor and Pollux and Vega and Capella and Rigel, but when we meet with mere serial numbers to | represent the stars they suddenly lose their friendliness. In short, we have the old-time astronomers, Arabian shep- herds and Greek philosophers to thank for the real names, and modern astron- omers to blame for the numbers, just as we have simple country folk to thank for the common names of flowers, and science, since the publication of Lin- naeus’ “Specles Plantarum” in 1753, to blame for the Latin system of binomials. I have said “blame” in both cases, but this is unjust, You would have done the same yourself if you had been at the helm of astronomical or botanical discovery when the barks of science be- gan to sall out upon the immensities and left the ports of home, where noth- ing further remained to be discovered. With millions of stars to name there fectly hopeless as soon as the voyages | of discovery brought plant specimens from Africa and America and Asia and Australia back to European students. | The Greeks, it is noted, named stars | for gods and goddesses, nymphs and heroes. The names given by the Arabs, watching their flocks by night, have less meaning for us, since we are the cultural children of Greece and Rome, not of Arabia. Arabic star meant such things as “solitary, pit,” “faithful,” “hindmost” ‘neglect- ed,” “end of the river,” “trusty,” just 0s our own cowboys invented a whole astronimical nomenclature of their | own. Like too much else in American | folkways, this tradition vanished | swiftly before the onslaughts of stand- ardized culture, and when we search | the clear Winter heavens we must use the names of old-time Greeks and| Arabs for what we see. | “BONERS” | Humorous Tid-Bits From School Papers.

Whose uniquely Successful career, both in business and private life, enables her to speak with authority on problems of the modern woman. Single Women Only? Several big corporations have made | a new rule that because of the hard | times married women should be dis- | charged and only single women Kkept | The Wheeler Com- mittee on Unem- ployment recom- mends the same thing, with the| proviso, ‘“other| conditions being ual.” t's a dangerous and unfair rule. Many a married woman needs her job far more than the unmarried woman. Why should any one assume that just be- cause & woman has a wedding certifi- cate she also has a husband who can support her and her children? In times like this, when there are not enough jobs, every case ought to be investi- gated individually. If in an office there is a married woman whose husband is able to sup- port her comfortably and in the same office there is a single girl who sup- ports herself, and one of them must be let go, then the married woman whose husband is able to support her comfortably should be glad to give up her job for the sake of the single woman. But there are thousands of young girls whose parents can support them well and comfortably. It's fashionable for the extremely rich girl to take a job. On the other hand, many, per- haps most, married women help to support other people, or contribute board that is absolutely needed to pay the family rent. In such cases it is the single girl who should be laid off and the married one who should be kept on. It is a queer thing, but there really seems to be a sort of resentment on the part of men in offices against mar- ried women who work. It is hard to understand. When you talk to men :.b,:l;trlit,dthey tell yo; that they think rried woman ought to be supportet by her husband. b5 - Helen Woodward.

And, of course, many men feel inferior when they see & woman doing well in business. What's the good of having personnel managers if they cannot make an in- dividual examination of each case? It ought to be a simple matter to find out the situation of each individual woman worker, to find out whether her husband is working and has enough to support her. Or, if she is unmar- ried, to find out whether she is sup- porting herself, whether she is helping to support other people, or whether she is working only for amusement and pocket money. There 8 no reason why each case should not be considered individually, and it 1s not only cruel on the part of big organizations to make & blanket rule of this—it is positively stupid. As for the girls themselves, the finest social gesture & well-to-do girl, married or unmarried, can make today is to give up her job to some one who needs the money. (Copyright, 1932.)
