A NOVEL ENTERTAINMENT.

| A very pleasant way of entertaining
friends Is IN vogue at present, which is
very easily gotten mp, and proves quite
enjoyable. Invitations asking the pres
| ence of friends at Bean Bag Party
] are sent out on little muslin bags with a
| few beans in each; the time and place
are written in gold letters on the mus
I'm In getting up the party it is nee
essary to have board about three feet
long and two feet wide, with hole
about SIX inches square, at distance of
nine inches from the top. This board
must be placed against the side wall of
the room IN slanting position. Each
guest on arrival is presented with a
fancy colored bean bag made of bright
canton flannel or cretonne. The game
consists IN throwing the bags through
the hole from distance of about
twenty feet. Each player tries in turn
TO do this, and the one who counts the
highest number of times after six
rounds claims prize bag of the same
color and kind as his own. In these
prize bags all sorts of gifts NAV be Sc
creted, and 1t is against the rule to open
them until the playing is over. Then
the company gather together around
table, and open the bags, and those who
have drawn no prizes may challenge the
H4AAt4S, anu 50 III single combat win
away some of the prizes.
a very novel way of serving refresh
ments at these parties is to have large
paper bags, made fanciful by dainty
devices on pretty paper, in which a
number of small bags are placed, hold
ing cake, crackers, cheese, olives, candy.
etc. Great fun may be had by making |
IA difference in the contents of the bags;
one may find candied fruit, while an |
other looks in vain for anything of the |
kind Hot chocolate may be passed to |
each guest after the bags have been |
opened. Japanese napkins and few
flowers add greatly to the looks of the
paper bags; these may be fastened on
the outside, and may be removed and
used at pleasure. \ sort of house picnic
may thus be gotten up at slight expense.
and one may entertain friends without
the least formallty.- Christian at Work
