The Shell In the Salt Box.

Many, many years ago I lay on the the ocean. I had been lying there listening to what the salt sea said for ages. A big wave came along and awept me up on a sandy shore. A little boy found me and dug a bole In the sand and burled me deep down, and there I lay listening to what the sand said for ages. After a long time another little boy, digging in the sand one day, picked me up and took me home In his little pall. After a long rids on the train I lay In • basket with lots of other shells. One day a lady looked at me and said, “What a fine scoop for the aalt In the kitchen one of these shells would make.” Bo here I am. It isn’t my old ocean of course, but something like It.

A favorite sentence for transgressors of the laws of games Is the following: Two persons stand at opposite ends of the room, each holding a lighted candle. They advance slowly and with deep gravity look into each other’s faces. When they meet the following dialogue takes place: “The Princess Hugger-Mugger is dead, defunct and gone.” “Can it be possiblet Alack and alas!” They then retreat to their starting points with the same solemnity. The fact that they must not smile makes it very difficult to refrain.—lndoor and Outdoor Games.
