HINTS FOR THE BUSY HOUSEWIFE Adjustable Trundle Bed With Openwork Hood. The Illustration herewith shows n new trundle bed which is designed either for the tiniest of new babies or for one who has reached the dignity of three or four years. It can be rolled at night so that the little bed is suspended above the foot of mother’s bed. just at a comfortable height where she can sit up in bed if the baby needs her attention and care for him without getting out of bed. Wheu he is ready to go to sleep again she fastens the openwork hood over him and knows tbnt he is ns safe as though he were 4n her arras. If there is any draft in the room, a blanket thrown over the hood keeps it away from the baby. If there Is a stray fly or mosquito, a netting cnn be thrown over the bood. In the daytime the trundle bed can be rolled out on the porch. It cnn be adjusted to vnrious heights and can be put into easily transportable shape like a collapsible gocart Cauliflower au Gratin.

It was a very pleasant time; I stayed from one till four. I think I acted mannerly, for when I came away The lady who Is mother there said, "Come again some day." X walked till 1 was almost home, and then I could not wait. For there was mother standing just Inside the little gate. The windows and the wide front door seemed smiling down at me. There was a very friendly look about the apple tree. The cat came rubbing at my feet; she had not changed at all. The hollyhocks looked happy, nnd the roses on the wall. The little chickens chirped nnd scratched about our bantam hen. Tlje lovely part of visiting is coming home again! —Youth’s Companion. Marble Games. Every boy likes to play a good game of murbles. Here is one that perhaps you do not know. Do you know one called "bounce eyeV” It is played by several boys, each of whom puts down n marble in a small ring. One player then stands in a perpendicular posi tion over the cluster of marbles, and. taking bis own bounce in his hnnd. lets It fall from bis eye on to the heap, and. those forced out of the ring by this method nre considered won. If be does not succeed In tills nnd his marble falls within the ring, it belongs to the common stock and is there im pounded. There is another game called “con queror,” which is extensively played in some places. A piece of bard ground, free from stones, is chosen for the spot. The first player lays bis marble on the ground, and the second throws bis own at it with all bis force and endeavors to break it. If he suc ceeds bis marble counts one and the vanquished player lays down another marble. If two players have marbles that have already vanquished others the "couqueror” counts all the con quered of the other party in addition to bis own. For example, suppose A, being conqueror of twenty, breaks B, also a conqueror of tweuty, A counts forty-one—1. e., twenty of his own, twenty of the vanquished belonging to B and one for B. Taking Pictures. It is uecessury to nave two persons know how to play this game. Some code signal is agreed upon to help dis tinguish the original of the picture. One of the two leaves the room, while the other takes the picture of another of the guests, which is done by bolding a spoon or some article with a polished surface before the guest's face whose picture is to be tnkeu. When this is done the one outside is called in. given the article used to take the picture, told to look at it nnd tell whose likeness It is. In n short time it is guessed correctly. This is repeated with the same result, causing much surprise among tne guests. Should any oue of those whose pic tures are being taken think be sees through the methods employed be may have a trial, but in all probability will fall. The trick Is that the "photographer” assumes exactly the same attitude as that of the person whose picture he has taken. The Song Sparrow. The song sparrow is one of the birds that build their nests on the ground. Do you know him—a little bird,' gray and brown streaked above and n white brenst covered with brown spots nnd stripes? Have you seen him sitting on a fence or bush and henrd his rollick ing song? The song spnrrow is com mon all over the United States. From Maine to California and from Oregon to Florida he sings happily six months out of the year. A regular scout, he sneaks along the side of a stream and appears at a distance like magic. He is equally skillful Ir. hiding his nest. Completely covered by a tuft of grass, we would almost step on it before we found it We may truly wonder how the song spnrrow can find It himself, but perhaps his eyes nre brighter than ours. The four or five eggs are small nud heavily spotted with brown, so that they, too, are hard to see. Some Left. Lives of fishermen remind us That If the big onea never got away There would be none left behind us For us to lie about another day. —Judge. Can be Supplied by Grady County FumitureCo. Cairo, Ga.
