ject in the picture begins. us lor in
stance, If there is holly anywhere in
the picture, the litter II could he
written on the card. Of course, noth
ing ho easy as this should be taken.
Some rather obscure object in the
picture should be chosen to indicate
by the letter, or the game will be too
i easy.
The number of cards to be mado
; depends upon the number of guests.
If there Is a large crowd, one can re
duce the number of cards by having
i several objects In the picture begln
I nlng with the same letter, in which
! enso It is well to Indicate alongside
1 the letter how many objects are to be
found, as for Instance, C5.
Place the cards face downward
upon a table, with the players ranged
around It, The one who starts the
game turns up the top card and is
given one minute to name the object
leginning with th • letter on the card.
If he can't do 11, lie passes the card
to the next. The one who names it
correctly keeps the card and tlio next
card from the pack Is tuken. The
one having the most cards at the ena
of the game wins. If several objects
I in a card are to be named, counters
1 can be given the successful guessers
to help keep their score right, as only
i one can retain the card,
i Jolly Journeys ts another pleasant
game. The hostess tells the guest to
what place he is going, but the guest
j must tell what lie Is going to do there.
, and every noun, adjective and verb
' in hts reply must begin with the
same letter as the place. A few tnln
; utes are given him to answer. For
| instance, the hostess will say, ‘‘You
I are to go to Paris. What are you
i going to do there?’’ The guest will
j reply. "1 am going to Paris to Primp
I11V Prettiest,'' To the next, the host
f ess may say, -You are to go to D»
i mascus. What are you going to do
; there?” To w hich the reply may be,
1 "1 am going to Damascus to Dine on
! Delicious Doughnuts” A prlxe is
; given for the best answer to be de
| cided by vote.
In Compliments, each person in turn
wishes to be somebody or some ani
mal. Having stated what he wants
to be. he turns to the person on his
right and says, "Why do I wish to be
So-and-So?” This person must re
turn an uncomplimentary answer.
Then the player turns to the one on
his left and again asks. "Why,” etc.,
and here he must receive a compli
mentary answer. For Instance. If he
wishes to be Napoleon and asks the
one on his right “Why." the reply may
be, "Because you like to be boss.”
The left-hand neighbor may say, “Be
I'li'ie you have great executive abil
ity.’
Sacrificing the Babies.
Live* of thousands of Infants arc un
necessarily. sacrificed every year. In
fant mortality is deereaeing, hut the
loss yet Is uppulllng. Physicians arc
attaining greater skill in treating the
diseases of children, but preventive
measures ure being neglected. Large
stints arc being expended in medical
research. Scientists are experimenting
to find cures for cancer, tuberculosis,
I leprosy, pellagra and other diseases.
! Hut common sense instructions that
i annually might preserve the lives of
thousands of babies are not being
i brought home forcibly to American
; mothers. Commenting-on this state of
! affairs. Dr. L. T. Royster, of Norfolk,
! Vu„ in an urtlcle published In the
' Journal of the American Medical As
sociation, Chicago, said that many dne
! tors are cither too Ignorant or too lazy
1 to attend properly to the needs of In
fants. Dr. Roy ter declared that it Is
: not uncommon for a mother to confe-s
! that she had seven or eight children
; and raised but one or two, the others
! having died In infancy. He suggests
that girls In the public schools be
i taught the general principles of car
! ing for children. Dr, Royster says:
"The fear of fresh air for the well,
to say nothing of the sick Infant (es
pecially those sick with eruptive dis
eases) I- till so prevalent as to make
■ us Involuntarily ask the quertion
whether the value of fresh air has
evtn begun to be appreciated by moat
npople; while the methods of feeding
arid handling which are genera!'' prac
ticed are ao obviously Indicative of
Ignorance that we might well Imagine
we arc dealing with mother* Just from
the African Jungle rather than In the
i heert of American civilization."
It is a sad fact that comparatively
! few HHRhera know how to car* prop
| erly for their offaprlga. A genial pea*
Kslmlat long ago declared that to learn
1 his profession a doctor must sacrifice
i -.'-"i* - tit V V\ i ... ....
! the lives of ten men. This is an ex
aggeration, hut It is a fact that in
some instances n mother pives up the
, life of a haho through ignorance of
methods of caring for It."—Denver

Pleasant street."
Khoda understood. That was only
Pncle Charles' way of saying that
I Emms was sweet and pleasant her
! self. The corner* of her mouth had a
uay of turning up. just ready to break
into a smile. Her'eves had a habit
of twinkling-. Things that would make
oth. r people cross never ruffled Em
ma's temper.
"Pleawint street is a tine street t >
live on," said I'noie Charles. ' f
wonder why aome other Kiris I know
don't move there.’"
Uhoda laughed outright, and Vncla
Charles studied her dimples approv
tnRlj. "It looks to me." In- said, ‘‘as
if you were about ready to mor e into
Pleasant street yourself."—The Voting
