Answer: People are now playing a new game with the old-fashioned Anagr&ms. Here are the direc- uons: The players sit around a table on which the small blocks (or cards) containing the letters of the alphabet, are turned face down. The lealer turms up one of these letters and says: "Bird." All the cther players must immediately try to think of the name of some bird which begins with the letter the leader has turned up, For in- stance, if' the turned-up letter hap- pens to be "0. .someone will shout "Q-iole" or "Ostrich" or 'Osprey.' The general classification announc- ed by the oe who turns up the let- ter, need not necessarily be !tmited to birds. Other classifications such a "Famous Men," "Animals" "Fish," *"Cities," or any dthers, may be used. Each player has a turn at selecting a letter and announcing a classification (indeed, 'this game may be continued indefinitely, each player having several turns, if desir- ed). The contestant who shouts -| ous man, animal, fish, etcetera, 1 up. out first the name of a bird, fam- be- turned up thes per- letters in ginning with the letter is given the letter.

Young Naval Lieutenant Weds Musi. cal Comedy Artist Who Was the Wife of London Photographer Who Was Still Alive----Story Told by Welsh Uncle of the Girl. Romance is piled on romance in the story of the mystery marriage of the eigth Earl of Breadalbane, who died in a Boscombe nursing home, The widowed "countess" is now proved to be no. countess at all, but the wife of a photographer, named Edwards. At one time she lived at Cardiff. Her "marriage" to Lieuten- ant Campbell, who became the eighth earl, was, it is alleged, bigamous. Few people knew that the young earl--he wns 37--was "married." In'September, 1916, James Edward Herbert Campbell, a naval lieutenant, took a pretty, young musical comedy artiste, Marie Laura Reeves-Hunt, to the St. Giles Register Office, Blooms- bury, and married her. .leutemant Campbell became the eighth Earl of Breadalbane last year, and Marie Laura Campbell became a countess. They lived together as Mr. and Mrs. Campbell, and when Mr. Camp- bell, nephew of the seventh earl, suc- ceeded to the title, they went to live at Bournemouth. They were known to Bournemouth simply as Mr. and Mrs. Campbell. Now comes the startling demoue- ment and the story of the alleged bigamous marriage. The "countess" as a girl, lived in Cardiff. When her mother died, the orphan was cared for and brought up by a Mrs. Reeve, whose name Marie subsequently adopted. After leaving school Marie became & domestic servant in the home of a Mrs. Edwards. She was a prepossess- Ed jamin James, fell in love They were married at a Bristol mm title. Relatives of the late earl be- gan many inquiries concerning the antecedents of the widowed "coun- tess." " Then came the revelation that the marriage was illegal, and that Mr. Edwards, the photographer, is still alive, An uncle living in Cardiff tells 2 peculiar story. Years ago his sister married a Wil- liam Hunt, who hailed, he thought from the Midlands, and she came to Cardiff for the birth of her child. The mother died in confinement, and Reeve and his wife adopted the baby girl and brought-her up as their own child. She was given the name of Marie Reeve, When she left school, she went into domestic service with a Cardiff family named Edwards, and eventually went to Bristol with a son of her employer, where they were married at the register office. From Bristol the company went to London, but the marriage was not a happy one, and they parted. Mrs. Edwards was of prepossessing ap- Pearance, and joined a theatrical touring party for a short time. She them returned .to the foster parents at Cardiff, where she gave birth to a daughter, who was named Cicely Edwards, and who is now about seventeen years of age and is acting as housekeeper for Mr. Reeve, whose wife 'died a year ago. For the next ten years Mrs. Ed- wards wrote regularly, and often vis- ited-the Reevdg. She was still on the stage, and her uncle and aunt understood that her husband was dead. Seven years ago they lost all trace of her. "We brought thé mather up from a baby," said Mr. Reeve, "and after she left us, and got married, she. re- turned to us for tho birth of her baby. We looked after the child. She is now seventeen years of age. "The first news I had of her for seven years was when I saw her pic- ture in the newspaper after the death of the Earl of Breadalbane.
