Rh Thursday.—The "T" hand is quickly changed to "H" and the same motion is made. Some make the "H" only.

Sunday.—Raise the open hands, one on either side, to the level with the shoulders, palms outward.

Spring.—Draw the crooked forefinger of the right "G" hand across the forehead, then sign for "grow," i. e., push the right "&" hand up through the left "O" hand.

Summer.—Draw the crooked forefinger of the "G" hand across the forehead. XV, 297.

Winter.—Hold the "S" hands out to the front from the sides and shake the whole of the forearms and hands together as in "cold."

Fall.—Hold the left "S" hand up near the left shoulder, doubling the arm; downward against the lower end of the forearm near the elbow pass the right open hand, palm downward, so the forefinger of the right hand brushes against the arm. XV, 298.

Breakfast.—Sign "eat" (raise the right "&" hand to the mouth) and "morning" (see preceding pages).

Dinner.—Sign "eat" as above, then "noon" (see preceding pages).

Supper.—Sign "eat" as above, then "evening" (see preceding pages).

Since.—Place the forefingers of the "G" hands above the right shoulder, end to end, but not touching; giving each a turn so the ends describe circles opposite each other, bring them both forward to the front. XV, 299.

Not yet.—Same as "now" or "late," depending on use.

Late.—Hold the right open hand pointing down from the elbow extending out at the side, and swing it back and forward from the wrist. XV, 300.

Holiday.—Sign "idle" and "day."

Beyond.—Place the open hands in front, palms toward self and together, so the palms of the fingers of the right are against the backs of the left fingers; lifting the right hand a little, carry it out some distance toward the front and drop it to original level.

Place.—With the ends of the little fingers of the "I" hands meeting (thumbs at top) end to end, draw each away at the side and describe a half circle, bringing them to meet again nearer the body.
