FUN FOR CHRISTMAS.
Parl0r Games to Enliven the
Evening Hours.
TENNIS PLAYED ON A TABLE.
Tiddledy Winks and Progressive Angling
--Shuttlecock and Battledore--An
Improvement in Poker.

Thanks to the inventive gentlemen who
devise new games for living, Christmas
night holds many a treat in store for the
American citizen and his female relatives
who have passion for home amusements
and indoor sports. During the past twelve
months these inventors have been more
than usually busy, and the result is an over
whelming flood of new things in their line,
many of which have been held IN reserve
for the Christmas trade, and will make
their appearance in the family parlor for
the Lrst time on the night of the 18th.
In producing indoor games, the design
ers endeavor to follow closely on the heels
of the most popular held crazes When
baseball was at its height couple of years
ago, the country was deluged with "base-
ball games" card, boards and otherwise.
But the general depression caused by the
war between the baseball players and man
ayers, which was demonstrated in such
disastrous fashion at the park gates, has
had Ii similar effect in the imitation parlor
games, and the demand has died out al
most completely. As a result the designers
have left the national game severely alone
IN their winter offerings, giving their at
tention instead 10 sports that command
higher place III the popular esteem.
Lawn tennis has long proved favorable
field for the experiments of inventors, and
several parlor games in imitation of this
grand outdoor sport have been put on the
market. Until this year, however. their
efforts have not met with much success.
They adhered too closely to the original,
and for obvious reasons very few house
wives could be found who would smile on
parlor pastime in which lying balls, no
matter how light, were a constant and
