too interesting to throw away. Florence E. Cowan, who belongs to a
Chapter that has been most active in helping the School Fund, suggests
that the Order gives to Good Will a library. We like the suggestion, but
think the best plan is to first finish the Fund. Rebekah Philips Dixon,
1513 Jackson Street, San Francisco. Cal., wants to hear from anybody
interested in college yells and colors, and especially asks "M. T." who
started the discussion about yells, to write her.

The Lafayette Chapter, Norman Hart, Easton, Pa., is to begin publication
of _Leisure Hours_, and wants original contributions that are short, say
300 words. The Lafayette is an active Chapter, and its paper ought to be
a good one.

A Good Trick in Dominoes.

Here is a trick played with dominoes which may be new: Spread out
a set of dominoes upon the table, being careful to extract one for
your own use. Inform the company that if they will match the
dominoes you have laid down, using every domino, you will, after
leaving the room, determine the numbers at either end of the
match. You then leave the room, and read the numbers on your
stolen domino. This will almost infallibly prove to be the end
numbers of the match. When the match has been formed and concealed
by a handkerchief, you enter the room and announce the end
numbers.

Have you noticed that U. S. stamps are now printed on water-marked
paper? The water-mark can be seen quite plainly in the blank margin, but
is very indistinct in the stamps themselves. It consists of the letters
U S P S in double line capitals 16 mm. high repeated, and the probable
intention was to have one of the letters on each stamp. But if so the
work has been carelessly done by the paper-makers, as there are only
ninety letters to the one hundred stamps, together with the two blank
margins on the two sides of each sheet. The arrangement is as follows:
