The one thing in your favor, if you are a beginner, is that everyone else is a be- ginner too. To be an expert, one should possess a speaking knowledge of Chinese, a knowledge of botany Qwhich will enable you to appreciate the species of flora which you will indubitably encounterjg a Ph. D. degree in meteorology fthe game makes use of all the four windsj, and a bank account like an artist's canvas iso that you can draw on itj. Four person participate, as in bridge, mixed doubles, a four plate dinner, or almost any other recreation you please, including a Petri quartette. It is like a Petri quar- tette because four voices are generally raised in discord causing considerable confusion most of the time. Mah-Jongg, I hear is the Chinese for sparrow, My comment is that I never before heard a sparrow called a Mah-Jongg. And Ibis, who is somewhat of a bird himself, says that he never heard of the creature. If you go out to dinner, and the hostess offers you a box of little square things that look like caramels, beware! They are Mah-Jonggs. And celery? No you are making a mistake. They're Mah-Jongg sticks, and they ruin fillings when you bite into them. You may not believe me when I say that the game actually exists. If you are in doubt just ask one of these smart Metropolitan matrons featured in Town Topics, she'll tell you the joys of crap-shooting are as nothing com- pared to those of this newer pastime.

K-5 41 ON THE RIVER By Lee Fahringer At twilight - Drifting on the river, Not a breath of air Disturbs the calm. The boat glides softly on With scarce a motion, For just one moment, The whole world seems still. Then comes the night breeze Rippling the watersg Far across the stream We hear the deep tones of a bull-frog. Slowly we paddle back, Thoughtful, and awed, Having communed with the twilight. 1.94, Mary M.: Why weren't you at the dance the other night?
