The word whist comes from "hist" or "hush," meaning that silence should be observed during the game. Clatter and bang- in the roaring- street, Motor and bus and tram, Patter and push where the people meet, Many a traffic jam. Microbes or 'llu and catarrh and cold, Stalk throug-h the crowds, I'm sure, Never fear germs, ir you take with you Woods' Great Peppermint Cure. —(Ad.)
