REVIVAL OF PING-PONG.
The hardest work of. thoso responsible for the good conduct of the troops in the occupied territories now is to. find games to keep them occupied and interested (says a London paper). The cold weather, by providing ice sports, has helped, but the long evenings still have to be filled in. Dances and all sorts of entertainments and games are organised, and, amongst the latter, "ping-pong" has revived in popularity. The gamo that swept like an epidemic through the world nearly two decades ago, until careful housewives discovered the destructive effect it had upon linoleums and carpets, supplies plenty of movement and excitement, and is intensoly ponulor. The sets have apparently been found in old lumber rooms and handed over to the Y.M.C.A. and other associations whose business it is to keep the soldiers amused.
