Indians. Greeks. Romans, and pre-Spanish Mexicans in ancient times The oldest recorded menagerie Is Chinese, dating from 1150 B. C. The len of lions kept by Darius, as deacribed in the book of Daniel, is an example of one of those primitive me aageriea. while the cult of sacred white horse by the ancient Greek? and Roman and that of ao-called white elephants in Hurma and S.am are instances of a second type A live giraffe was received at the menagerie 1 S honbrunn as early as LS3S.

For Dickens' Birthday. The seventh of February is Inckens j birthday, and some hostess may like to add a touch of novelty to an enier- i talnment on that day. Ask the guests to come in a costume representing a character from one of the great novelist's hooks, or j to wear some articl ' to indicate the character or title of one of his books. , For refreshments have everything as j old English as possible. Fee only candle light and place all the eatables j on the table at once. The cold "Joints'

may be represented by roast beef or mutton, and there should be a cold . rasted fowl Individual meat pies or chops would be suitable, and do not forget the orange marmalade, with seed cak'r. and If u are plebeian enough there should be rye bread with tankards of ale Of course there must be the Inevitable tea." As the guests arrive, take the name of the character, and after all have assembled pass cards and !eneils. Give a half hour for guessing the personages represented, then award a framed photograph of Dickens for th first prize and a copy of one of his stories for the second There is a charming new book call ed "Stories from Dickens, that is In tended for voung realers. but it would

be enjoyed by any devotee of this unequaled author Decorate with the Hnglish flag and use any old English china or Sheffield plate that are obtainable.
