flavor and steam from the meat goes
through the potatoes and it is a most
delicious dish.
"LOOK PLEASANT, PLEASE"
This is the photographer's request,
but it is good advice for everyday
life. It is so easy to get a little
scowl fixed, or to let the corners of
your mouth draw down, even when
you feel comparatively good-natured.
Some time when you are particularly
busy, and interested in your work,
get up and go to the glass, being
careful to keep your face in the same
expression you were wearing. I have
tried it and been surprised to see
that I could look so stern and for
bidding when I did not feel so. When
you realize that your ' lips are com
pressing and your features hardening,
.relx them and look pleasant. Vanity,
is it? Maybe so, but it 13 a Christian
duty to make yourself as attractive
to others as possible, especially to
those of your own family. Children
particularly like to see a bright, cheer
ful face, and it is possible to wear
one even when suffering physically or
mentally. And it pays.
Haven't vou met people on the
street who looked so happy that you
ffu ns )f thRv must have .lust heard
good news? It's a pity, though, that
we oftener meet sour faces, xou are
walking along and you see Mrs. u,
whom you know to be a lovely Chris--tian
character, yet she looks as cross
as a bear. Probably she is noly pre- j
ocnunied. or DerhaDS worried, but if
only she could catch sight of her ownj
face!
It isn't easv always to look pleasant
whftn all the children at once want.
Something different, when meal3 must
be on time and the bany wakes up:
inopportunely, but it is possible. You
perhaps know people wno do lti
know some.

THE GAME OF TELEGRAMS
Here is a little game that may be
played without any preparation at all,
and without any materials except pen
cils and paper. Besides amusing a
company of boys and girls, it will af
ford good practice in ready thought
and quick composition.
Each person is furnished with a
pencil and a pad of paper, V and a
player, chosen by lot for the purpose,
names ten letters of the alphabet
which are at once written at the top
of each sheet of paper in the order
in which the player gives them.
- Each player is then asked to write
a telegram of ten words, which must
begin with the letters at the top of
the sheet, In regular order. A cer
tain time is given for the writing and
then the papers ar handed in to
be read. A vote may be taken to
decide which is the best, or a judge
appointed for the purpose may make
the decision and the prize Is awarded
accordingly.
For example, take the letters T, E,
L, E, G, R, A, P, H, S, out of which
the following telegrams may be made:
"Thoroughly enjoying life. Every
where good roads. Automobile proved
howling success."
"Theresa entertained Lena Ed
wards. Great rejoicing among peo
ple here S."
