There is so little difference between the shape of four leaf clovers and shamrock leaves, that if ome is puzzied to remember the lat- ter, use a clover leaf as a model. Paint white paper shamrocks green. The eolor is significant on St. Patrick’s Day For the game “Ridding Ireland of Bnakes,” the coiling reptiles are cut from ovals of green paper. Start from one narrow end, cut in a little way, at scores one for the partners ridding the isle of them. The snakes are replaced in the center of the isle and the two other players follow the directions of the game as given. They start and stop playing at the sound of the whistle, and one round of the game has been played. Four rounds make & set. At the end of each set players progress. The number of | sets played before the prize winner whose score is highest is discovered, depends on the plans of the hostess. but four play the game, it should be decided at the outset. The excitement of this contest is increased by the coiling of snakes to- gether as they are fanned. (Copyright, 1933.) MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST.

Not at all like the gorgeous Zebra of last Fall. This has been called the Marcellus, the carly Spring forw This butterfly goes about in the woods near by and later lays her eggs upon the leaves of her chosen plant. One month later you are astonished to see more butterflies emerging from your group and this time, larger ones with more white on the outer half of the wing. These are called the Tela- monides. Seeking the sunshine and a place to establish her family, this lovely creature goes on her way. Marcellus have hatched into hungry, eager little pea-green caterpillars, with transverse bands of yellow and black, as well as a very conspicuous band be- hind the head on the third ring. Each is about two inches long, rather portly and much given to minding his own business. Should you show too much interest in his affairs and prod him with a stick, he shows his resentment by producing his scent organs and us- { ing_them. These caterpillars weave their shelter and inside transform into the exquisite Zebra butterfly known as the Summer form or Ajax. She is well named. The brownish-black wings _have yellow | stripes, three on ncg front wing and one on each hind wing. There is sub-marginal row of white spots on each of the hind wings also, The strik- | ing color combination of green and black stripes, the very long tails, with | lovely red and blue crescents, identify | this butterfly at once. Even before this dainty creature has dried her crumpled wings—in fact, be- fore she has stuck her head out of her Winter quarters—along come suitors by the score. How did they know? The damsel had not been out in the breeze to send her message on scented scales, as many butterfly maidens do. Just another link in the mysterious life of this exquisite creature. All Summer the butterfly will lay her eggs and the caterpillars will trans- form into Ajax butterfiles. In the Fall the chrysalids will be green or brown according to the surroundings—this for protection. The following Sp: the same strange story will be Tepeats Among the chrysalids you brought in last year there were some that lay dormant. This is another puzzle. Out of every brood there will be some who wait a year before they emerge! When the Zebras wish to rest, they gather in flocks and, with heads point- up, wings folded, they hang under a .

The reason for this dizziness is laid at the door of oversensitivity, causing &n tun an nvflddyml l‘tn;‘ny overreaction arouses s eeling. Most human beings find it easy to believe the things which soclety will sanction. The answer to this fact is that human beings are highly gregari- ous. Most persons when greatly worried tend to go to the attic or some small room. They do so because they want to get away from stimuli from the out- side world. It is often sald that inventors, foeu and composers get their most profound ideas while they sleep. This may be & mere dream illusion. As a rule, our dreams are wonderful, dramatic, curious and highly personal. 80 when one happens to have an unusual idea one is likely to feel that it was “dreamed out.” Matter-of-fact persons take little in- terest in novels, indulge rarely in day dreams. They have acquired the habit of looking for nothing but facts. (Copyright, 1932.) About this time the eggs of the | |ative to sign, | afforded a Afitting were plenty of servants, me.
