Naming the presidents is an instruc- |tive games. The children choose sides i for this just as in the old fashioned spelling match. After the sides have | been chosen the hostess names one side . Republican, the other Democratic. She | tells them she wants to find out which party is most familiar with the full names of the presidents of the United States from George Washington down to Woodrow Wilson. Paper and pencil are provided each contestant. The win- | ning party, of course, is the one whose | papers show the greater number of correctly named presidents. This game may be followed by an in- dividual contest on the naming of all l | the states in the Union, the prize going to the one who first completes the task. Nursery Play Tray. A truly invaluable nursery possession !is a tray of sand which will fit upon a { child’s small table or even rest solidly | upon the floor. The tray should have | upright borders not less than four nches in height—and a little higher is better—and should contain a heap of | clean sand. This, when slightly moistened, can be “built” into all man- !ner of fascinating objects, from the elementary “castle” of babyhood to a complete railway line, with station, ridges and tunnel. through which toy "trains can be run, or the daintiest of ! miniature gardens planted with twigs {and lenves and bordered with massive “rocks” formed of stomes, over which , more flowers will trall, or a tortified ,town in which the soldlers, with can- |non and the rest—naturally so popular this year—can attack and defend to ilhe endless amusement of the young owner. This tray need take up no | appreciable room when not in use, for the little owner can soon be taught to scoop the sand up and put it in a closed receptacle. Then the empty tray may stand quite out of the way | until the next time it 18 used. Washington’s Birthday Party. At a children's party one hostess supplied the little girls with colonial caps patterned after the kind that Mar- tha Washington affected, with a fichu or kerchief made of white crape paper. A belt, a sword and a cocked hat were ' given to each small boy. | Thus adorned, the youngsters were ! seated at a round table, in the center |of which was a huge Jack Horner ! cherry pie made of red crape paper and trimmed in artificlal cherries and | surmounted with figures of George and Martha. From this centerplece extend- | Ing to every child's plate were narrow red ribbons. At the hostess’ signal the ! ple was opened, every child pulled on his ribbon and extracted from the ple a little prize. | ! Cherry Tree Game. | Cutting down the cherry tree is an amusing game for Washington's birth- day. A small tree or shrub from which all the lower branches have been cut 18 set in a deep box of sand and two strong cleats nailed to it on each side and to the top edge of the box. Each contestant is blindfolded, given a small toy hatchet and told to cut down the tree. If he succeeds in kmocking it down, L which bhe can do If he strikes exactly parallel with the cleats, be recelves as a prize one of the imitation bark cov- ered stumps filled with bonbons. The fun of the game is in watching the ridiculous antics of the contestants in hitting out at empty air. | Nice Hair Ribbons. A little girl's hair ribbon musses very quickly if tied each time it is used. Instead of tying make the ribbon into a bow and tie the latter to the hair with a short plece of baby ribbon, the same color as the bow, slipped through the knot. By this means the bow is fastened to the hair securely and ls always kept fresh. Keeping Baby In Bed. To prevent a baby from rolling off & bed spread a large cotton quilt or plece of denim between the springs and the mattress, letting it hang over; the sides to a depth of twenty inches or more. Sew strong tapes firmly '.o‘ each corner of the quilt or cloth, turn upward and then tie securely to the bedposts Drying Children’s Hair. I Drying the children’s hair will not take balf as long if the towels are heated. With a radiator it is a sim- | ple matter to keep several towels warm, and by using them in rotation It is surprising how fast the hair may be dried. Do not have them too hot. but quite warm. Weaving Called Old Art. Weaving is believed to be an older art than spinning. Rude looms are pictured on the tombs of Thebes, and it is believed that the ten curtains of | fine linen, blue and purple and scarlet, with cherubim of “cunning work,” made for the tabernacle, were tapes- tries, the work of the loom. + one day she would stand face to face irresponsible, fascinating young scape- grace of the British army had been in New York just long enough to cap- ture a few foolishly feminine hearts, to borrow money from everyone who was unwise enough to give it to him, and to disappear into a future no less vague than the past from which he | had come. “My mother used to sing this to me,” he had said softly. “Will you too sing it to me? I want to hear you —now.’ The effect of the dainty hom- age on Enid came vividly back to her as she sat three years later look- ing over the song. A flush crept into her cheeks even as it had on that other day, and Enid wondered if she would ever see the flattering’ young ne'er-do-well again. Enid put the beautiful little song called “Ruby” into her overburdened folio with a hope that its donor would find that salvation held out to so many men in times of war. Perhaps among the thousands of khaki-clad figures she would see Captain Blaker. She was curiously, and without much reason, in- terested in the career of the hand- some, irresponsible officer. . . . . . - . The men had been brought into the big sun parlor of the hospital, some carried in on stretchers, others in chairs and some of them could limp in on the arms of their nurses. Enid had never expected, in the whole of her musical career, to sing before so completely wrecked an assembly of living men. She was standing quietly after a storm of applause when one of the nurses approached the platform. “Have you, by any chance, a song called Ruby?” the nurse asked Enid. “One of my patients is longing for it.” Enid smiled and glanced swiftly over the mass of upturned faces. “It i8 not a very cheerful song," she sald. “But I will be glad to sing it.” Her hurried glance had failed to find a familiar golden head that somehow she had expected with the request for the song. Her accompanist left the platform and Enid sat down at the plano and played the dainty, rippling melody. In so far as she could watch her audience Enid watched for one sol- dier among them who was more than interested in the song. She was curi- ous to see who it was that was fa- miliar with the old-time favorite. In the far corner a man, so wound with bandages as to be unrecognizable, was leaning forward. But when she had finished the of- ficer who had been leaning forward had been wheeled away. ‘Enid searched for the nurse who had spok- en with her, but she, too, had disap- beared. Out in the corridor Enid was stopped By oné of The surgeons. “I am going to hold you responsible for the sudden desire on the part of one of my patients to live.” “I'" Enid laughed back at the sur- geon. “What have 1 done?” “You have sung life back into the heart of a young dare-devil officer whom we had all given up. He had come back from the battlefield wound- ed, a hero who has won the Victoria Cross, and has stepped into a title and huge estates, but it took your song to make him fight for his own life. He has begun the fight and if he wins, you and your song have eaved him. Desire is a great factor as a stimu- lant along with our medicines. You have given young Blaker that desire and 1 want tu shake hands with you.” When Enid stood beside the young officer who was lying with his face to the wall, she did not speak until the door had closed upon the sur- geon. “Why did you not make yourself known to me?” she asked softly, and Blaker turned swiftly. “I am ashamed of my past,” he sald, and did not offer his unbandaged hand, but his eyes devoured the beauty of her face and told Enid that a new man had arisen from the experience of the past. The gentle flattery was still there and Enid suddenly knew that it would always be there for her. She put her hand softly over his. “You have done much to be un- ashamed of and your future is before you.” The blue of Blaker's eyes deepened. He looked steadlly into Enid’'s sud- denly blushing face. She scarcely realized that during three long years her heart had clung to the hope that with the scapegrace captain of the British army and that honor and love would meet her glance. “I have been an undeniable fail- ure,” Blaker said. “With all that, I have kept you in my heart, Enid, though I have not been half worthy. The future—" “—is a path of sunshine,” Enid told him. “I am glad,” she added shy- ly, “that I came over to singz to the soldiers.” Subject for Congratulation.

Of course it is not advisable where the outer fabric is of sheer material like organdie. thin volle or kindred mate- rials. Allowance should be made for shrink- age when making up a new blouse or dress. A couple of extra blouse inch- es should be extended beneath the belt, and at the top of the skirt the material may be turned back so that after it comes from its first tubbing it may be let down without serious inconvenience.
