CHRISTM4S GAMES.

Games are now fashionable at grown up" parties
in England, and of the most popular is called
"Adjectves." One person goes from the room. and
those remaining select an adjective to be repre-
sented such silly sulky, affectionate conceited
and so on. every one taking a different word.
Each individual must act the quality chosen as
well as he can. and the other must guess the
word. Unless the person guessing discovers two
thirds OF the adjectives selected he must go out
again pay a forfeit.
The old fashioned game of Twenty Questions Is
popular again in a slightly modernzed form. The
members of the party form themselves into two
clubs and try to get another over. There
must be two circles of people sitting around on
chairs. and two persons are sent out OF the room
while the word is decided on. Both circles
choose the same word. The two then return and
one goes into the centre of each circle asking
Questions which must be only answered by Yes or
No. The one who first discovers the word wins.
and n member of the other club has TO join the
victorious circle. This goes on till the best club
gets all the others
