Three New Games.

- HARADES are great fun. Almost
everyone knows how to play
~ them, but here is brand new
game. something like charades
and much more jolly.
Divide the company into two sides and
let each in turn act an animal for the
other to guess. Some animals are easy
to act, but others are quite hard, espe-
cially as 1t is against the rule to initiate
| the cries Of the creatures.
Giraffe is acted in this way: Each boy
and girl bends forward from the waist
| and let's the arms hang down straight in
front. as though to touch the floor. but
all necks and heads are stretched upward
with all their might. 1t does not take
long for the other side to guess giraffe.
Suppose elephont is next. The poor beast
has to come in on three less-two legs
and one arm-for he has to have trunk
One arm and hand make that, curled
naturally. and moved as though he is
feeding.
If you play this comical game you will
surely be able to think of beasts or birds
of them will be half the fun
At party, not long ago. another droIl
game was played. 1t was very simple The
boys and girls sat in circle, in the
midst of which stood a young lady with a
box of candies. "All look glad" she said,
and each youngster put on a broad grin.
The jolliest imp of all received a piece

in turn. they looked sad. cross, good wise.
foolish, and however else the leader sug-
gested At the conclusion of the game
the young lady, who was an older sister
of the small boy for whom the party was
the child who had won the most pieces of
candy. But the youngster could not ex-
hibit them. Naturally, he had eaten them
all.
This would be good game for you to |
try with your small brothers and sisters. |
You will enjoy 1t as much as they, and |
they will think 1t fine.
Guess Who" Is a game which will ap- |
peal to all boys and girls who like to |
dress up" For this the company must |
be divided into two sides. One side stays |
in the room and the other goes out. The |
side that goes out must be provided with |
a long broom or curtain pole. or some
thing OF the sort This pole or broom |
