This is a question of no small importance, both to you and to the merchants, and both should be loyal to each other. The merchant has invested money in a business in Bowmanville Bowmanville and he naturally expects to get his businss from the people of this town and surrounding country. If he does not get that business, which he is clearly entitled to, then he must fail and go out of business. business. If the citizens of Bowmanville do not do their trading with their own merchants, merchants, how can they expect these men to continue to do business here ? Do your shopping at home.

With this end in view «he gave her an account book, : and instructed'her to enter on one «side all her expenses expenses in detail, and on the other side money received. At the end of the first month the fair young wife carried her account 'book to her husband in triumph. "'See," said she, "I have done what you a%ked."

"Herbert, dear," «she said, "this recipe for lemon pie says to sit on a hot stove and stir constantly. " "Well; Alice," replied the doting husband, "if you do sit "on a hot stove I think you will find that you will stir constantly." Several lively games for young folks have come ^ down with ever increasing popularity. since colonial days; Among them,""Going to Jerusalem,"; Jerusalem,"; are the best, known.- The first and thé last are action games, while the second is possibly -the most amusing. amusing. - ' v.' ■■ For "Going to Jerusalem" it is necessary necessary to clear the centre of the room, Then, in -reversed order, a line of chairs is arranged, there being one at tfiè piano start's a march and the players, players, forming in line, "nfarch round the chairs. Suddenly the music stops. Then there is a scramble among the players for a chair. Of course," after each chair is occupied one player will rèmain Unseated, and fall out of the game. When the music starts agàin, a - chair is removed and the marching ^recommences to end as before. Even uallÿ, two players will be left to match around a single chair and the one who is left standing when the music ceases for the last time, is sent to Jerusalem. In other word's, if forfeits have been decided upon, the luckless player must pay it. Gossip, unlike the last game does not require any running around. In fact, absolutely quiet is almost essential essential to its success. First, the players seat themselves on the floor in a circle. Then one of them leans over and whispers something into the ear of the player on the left. In turn this player whispers it to the next, adding something something to what fié was told. Eventually the story goes the rounds, the last player to receive it repeating aloud what he was told. This is then compared compared with the original statement, and of course the comparison creates lots of amusement. Spinning the platter is to ^ well known, to require description. Variations Variations are sometimes introduced where several platters are to be kept spinning spinning at the same time. This requires a great deal of agility on the part of the players and is often attended by many groteque tumbles. Spotting is another game played with plates. In this case the bottom of a plate or saucer is socted by being being held for a second over a gas jet or in a candle flame. Then each of the players is given a plate, the spotted plate being among them. Some one is selected to set the example, and at the command, "Do as I do," each of the players draws his fingers across the bottom of his plate and proceeds to pass it over his face as was done by the director. • t 1 Jor Infants ami Children.
