The players sit around the room in a circle or hollow square. One, who is the leader, takes a button and, holding it between his hands, which are pressed palms together so as to conceal iff goes around the circle. Each player holds his or her hands together in the same way, and as the leader goes around he presses his 'Bands between those of the other play- ers in turn, saying to each, "Hold fast what I give you," and being careful not to show into whose hands he drops the button. When he has been around the circle the leader goes to the first player and says, "Button, button, who hasn't got the button?' and this person must an- swer by naming some one whom he supposes hasn't it. So it goes on around the ring until all have answer- ed this question according to their be- lief, when the leader calls ont, "But- ton, button arise," and the button holder stands up. Then if there is any one who guessed that the person who really held the button did not have it be becomes a "ghost" and goes out of the circle. The player who held the button becomes leader, and the game If no one is canght the Ci The "ghost" can only become mortal and again join the circle when they can get some player in the circle to speak to them, and then that mortal must take the ghost's place.~Philadel- phia Record. re Ty 1 Stark Legends, There are many beautiful legends about the stork.

And to make the shoulders and the armholes feel comfortable is all that is necessary, as an elastic ribbon run through a casing at the lower edge ofthe waistcoat will draw it smoothly . over the bust and back and about the waistline. If the lower two-thirds of the walstcoat's back is of batiste the garment will be firmer and wear bet ter, since that portion of it must stand most of the strain. The fronts may be solidly pin tucked and fastened blindly with hooks and eyes or finely tucked in groups at either side of a row of tiny crystal buttons, while the neck may be finished with either a standing or a turned over collar ajour stitch bordered.

Use as follows: One teaspoon- ful of peroxide of hydrogen to half a tub of cold water. Allow the articles to soak over night, and after rinsing wash as usual and you will be agree ably surprised at the result. This fs almost the same method that the mills use in bleaching their goods from na- tural color to white before finishing. Eggs of Snow. This is a sort of cooked "floating Is- land." While the custard sauce used in the "island" is on the stove the beaten and sweetened whites of eggs are put into it in large spoonfuls and allowed to cook a few moments.

A will containing a bequest to the Sisters of Charity of Hamilton, an Order of Nuns, was contested by the heirs on the ground that the Sisters of Charity had never been incorporat- ed, and therefora had no legal exist- ence. The lawyer on the other hand, con- tended that the Sisters of Charity were well known and easily distin- from the public by dress d other ways. "As far as I remember," remarked Mr. B. B. Osler, the opposing counsel, "Charity bas but two Sisters, 'Faith and 'Hope,' and I think the court will bear me out in saying they were never heard of in Hamilton." Figures of the Influx.
