In a California home each of the ED
ers last year gave a short, true story
of the early days-embodying their own
experiences. This for the delectation of
the children, who adore taking their
family history in such attractive =uise.
After this came some of the old-fash-
toned games-'Dumb Crambo," Stage
Coach" and even Happy Is the Miller"
and "Oats, Pease, Beans"-in which the
entire family Joined, from grandfather
down.
For the Thanksgiving evening enter
tainment after the youngest children
are put to bed. various and sundry
things are planned. Among these pig
these functions, which are held in the
kitchen, each individual receives a
bunch of porkers' tails, which he grills
TOR himself over the Goals. This piece
de resistance is ACCOMPANIED by pota-
tons of beer or cider, with sauerkrau
cheese pretzels and sandwiches made of
ham and Bermuda onions, with rye or
wholewheat bread as foundation.
Wooden plates. such as may be OBJ
tanned at the srocer's or the delicates-
sen store. paper napkins and mugs suf-
flee for the service. Kitchen or cellar
oyster roast parties are also in favor, as
well as old fashioned candy pulls and
nutcrack parties Charades, tableaux
and impromptu fancy dress balls, where
quick witted guests rise to the occasion
and from ma terials at hand devise eff
! fective costumes and stage settings are
| all in order and may be made cOntribu-
tory to the ioliest kind of time.
Among the words which lend them
selves most admirably to the working
out of charadeS are:
Knickerbocker (Nick-err- barker.0
Matinee (Mat-inn-nay.)
Federation (Fed- err-ration.)
Manhattan (Man-hat-on9
Convention (Convent-shun.)
When one is a keen observer and clev-
er imstator much fun can be obtained
by acting out the syllables to the
names of some of the noted stage ia
vorites, and then giving an imDersona-
ton for the whole name, which must be
guessed by the audience.
The old fashioned dances-Virginia
reel Roger de Coverley, Money Musk
and the lanciers-are all appropriate for
Thanksgiving evening, together with
the singing of old. familiar college songs
"Lauriger Horatius" Excelsior" Aunt
Dinah's Quilting Party, never
I forgetting the universal favorite:
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the
way.
And OH what fun it is to ride in one
horse open sleigh
On the stroke of midnight all join
hands while singing Aud Lang Syne'
and My Country. IT'S of Thee" a fit

ants.
