Between them is a row of six pillows. One team chooses a player to hide the penny. He presses it against his palm and fingers but keeps his palm down. Under each pillow he places this hand, but leaves the penny under one of them. The other side watches him closely. Is he tensing his muscles? Does his facial ex pression show when he lets go? Their leader, after con sulting his team, touches the pillow under which they de cide the penny is lying. If they are right, they score 10 points. Then it is their turn to hide the penny. The side that makes GO points first wins the game.

Now, one day when her work was all over the , she heard somebody knocking upon her front jjL . "Oh, my good ness!" she cried. "My whole is a mess, and besides, I am wearing my ug liest !" First she peeked through the , then she opened it wide, because General stood there out side. "Mistress Ross," he said, bowing, "as I understand, the most delicate sew ing is done by your . Our new country's in-need of a flag that will be forever a symbol that can be free. Can you sew on a as well as a ?" asked the $ , smiling, and said, "Yes." So she gathered her and ft and J , and she cut y stripes that were beautifully red; and she cut out white ones to put in between, for the number of colo nies then was H3 . At the top in one corner on a field of deep blue she put in a O of them, too. "Let the red stand for courage and faith in the right," said the , "while pur ity shines in the white; in the blue we see loyalty land of the brave; may this fly forever and gallantly wave!" f'.iMiih, HV.-Uu.
