The serious looking young lady In
the picture gazing out Into space with
solemn eyes seems Intent on some
purpose of great Import, to herself at
least. And so, in fact, she is. She is
posing as Master Mercier, as por
trayed In a well known picture. The
portrayal was made at a charity tab
lenu In New York city. Children ol
New York's most fashionable people
took part In the tableau, and many
charming living representations of fa
mous paintings were displayed to ad
miring beholders. The little girl who
posed as Master Mercier Is Miss Audrey
Maynard, daughter of Walter Maynard
Cupid Come«.
Cupid comes Is an alphabetical
game played by any number of per
eons, each of whom tells how Cnpld
comes, In answer to a question. The
answers must begin with the letters of
the alphabet In order, and must all end
in "Ing." Thus, the first player say>
to his neighbor, "Cupid comes." Tin
neighbor asks, "How does he come ;
and the first player replies, for In
stance, "Ambling." The second plays:
then says to the third, "Cnpld comes.'
and In answer to the same question re
piles, ''Boiling."
So the game goes on till the alpha
bet Is exhausted. Sometimes it is re
posted, wltli the answers ending in
"ly." Cnpld is then said to come "af
fectlonately," "bravely," ''courteously,'
"defiantly," etc.
Sometimes the letter A Is used by all
In the first round, B In the second and
so on. This makes the game last
longer. Any one giving n word already
used must retire from the game. Those
who hold out to the end are the vie
tors.

them.
The cockatoo is very Intelligent and
