A GAME TO PLAT. “This and That.” This is always a favourite game at a party. Two of the players who know the game are required, one goes out of the room, and the others are asked by the player in the room to choose an object for the one outside to guess. They do so, and the player is called in. The questioner asks several questions, such as “Is this chair the object?” “this ornament?” “this table?” and the answer is “no”; but when the questioned puts “that” before any object the answer will be “yes.” Those players who don’t know the game will think it wonderfully clever, but you will see it is quite easy by putting the word “that” instead of “this.” LITTLE LAUGHS. True. A joy-ride aeroplane was giving fiveshilling trips in a small town. A fussy old gentleman, before embarking, asked the pilot to be sure to bring him back safely. “That I will sir,” said the pilot. *Tve never left anybody up there yet.” Growing Up. The benevolent old gentleman stopped and spoke to a small boy. “And how old are you, sonny?” he |psked. “Seven, sir,” replied the boy. “And what are you going to be?” flyas the next question. “Eight in two months’ time, sir.” How Many Z’s in Scissors? Father was reading his son’s school report. “At the bottom of the class for spelling again,’’ he remarked. “What is the trouble, my lad?” “Well, Father,” was the reply, “I know that one of my mistakes was to put too many z’s in scissors.”
