I went to visit Beth and Paul and little .
Theodore. I
It was a very pleasant time; I stayed
from one till four.

came away .. ■'
The lady who Is mother there said. Coma
again some day.”
I walked till 1 was almost home, and then
I could not wait, j
For there was mother standing Just .nsldo j
the little gate. q
The windows and the wide front door j
seemed smiling down at me. ,
There wbb a very friendly look about the ,
apple tree.
The cat came rubbing at my feat; she
had not changed at all. ’
The hollyhocks looked happy. a*d the .
roses on the wall. 1
The little chickens chirped and soratohed
about our bantam hen. i
The lovely part of visiting 1b coming .

Marble Games. v
Every boy likes to play a good game t
of marbles. Here Is one that perhaps ,
you do not know. Do you know one j
called “bounce eye?” It Is played by ;
several boys, each of whom puts down |
a marble In a small ring. One player 1
then stands In a perpendicular posi
tion over the cluster of marbles, and,
taking his own bounce In bis hand,
lets It faU from bis eye on to the heap,
and those forced out of the ring by
this method are considered won. If
he does not succeed In this and 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 hard ?
ground, free from stones. Is chosen for 4
the spot The flrst player lays his j
marble on the ground, and the second
throws his own at it with all his force 3
and endeavors to break It If he sue- H
ceeds bis marble counts one and the ’
vanquished player lays down another s'
marble. If two players have marbles
that have already vanquished others
the "conqueror’’’ counts all the con
quered of the Mother party in addition g
to his own. For example, suppose A, 3
being conqueror of twenty, breaks B, *
also a conqueror pf twenty, A counts =
forty-one—1. e., twenty of bis owtt. *
twenty of the vanquished belonging to J
B and one for B. M

Taking Pictures,
It Is necessary to have two person*
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 lit done
by holding a spoon or some article
with * polished surface before the
guest’s face whose picture is to be
taken.
When this Is done the one outside
Is called in, given the article used to
take the picture, told to look at it and
tell whose likeness it la. In a short
time It Is guessed correctly. This Is
repeated with the same result, causing
much surprise among the guests.
Should any one of those whose pic
tures are being taken think be sees .
through the methods employed he may i
have a trial, but In ail probability will !
falL
The trick 1* that the “photographer"
assumes exactly the same attitude as
that of tbs person whose picture h»
has taken.
The Seng 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 a white
breast covered with brown spots and
stripes? Have you seen him sitting on
a fence or bush and heard his rollick
ing song? The song sparrow Is com
mon all over the United States. From
Maine to California and from Oregon
to Florida be sings happily six months
oat of the year. A regular scout, he
sneaks along the side of a stream and
appears at a distance like magic. H»
Is equally skillful In hiding bis nest. ■
Completely covered by a tuft of gras^ ’
we would almost step on It before wt
found It We may truly wonder how 1
the song sparrow can find It himself, J
but perhaps his eyes are brighter than
ours. The four or five eggs are small •
and heavily spotted with brown, so
that they, too, are hard to see.
A Proud Moment
‘The proudest day of her life, this
Is," said the woman who watched tho
third floor bride go out dressed In her
prettiest frock.
“How do you make that out?” said ‘
another woman enviously. “I thought
last Thursday was her proudest day.
She got married then.”
“Ah, yes, but today shs goes calling &
for the first time and leaves one of her 1
husband’s cards with her own. Any .
married woman who can remember .
back that far will tell you that the •
first time she distributed the calling -j
cards of some man who belonged to :
her was the day efcs truly felt her ln>
