And then I thought, Oh, if I could fly over this clapper-rail ahead of me! It is so very stupid to keep my feet on the earth. How jolly to flap my wings to the Lapland long-spur. I would visit the raven and all the rest of the feathered family on the way.
But my walk had ended and such a pretty warbler warmly welcomed me home,—my golden-hued, night-singing canary.
PARLOR FORTUNE-TELLING.
This amusement is sure to interest, and may be played by any number of people, the more the merrier.
Those to have their fortune told should have a slip of paper and a pencil. The one telling the fortune dictates from the book what to write. After all the answers are written, the fortune-teller reads the questions, and the players in turn read the answers aloud, according to what they have written. Suppose the following fortune:
1. Have you a favorite? Yes.
2. What is her name? A girl’s name.
3. What color is her hair? A color.
4. What color are her eyes? A color.
