If you want to amuse party Of friends,
says the New York Herald, ask one of them
to catch hold of his nose with his right
hand and of his right ear with his left hand:
After he has done so tell him to place each
hand as quickly as possible in a reverse
position-that is, he must catch hold of his
nose with his left hand and at the same
time grasp his left ear with his right hand.
Tell him to repeat this operation several
times, and the more often he does 1t the
more amusement he will furnish for the
company since he will find it ever more
and more difficult to grasp his nose and ear,
and will spend considerable time searching
for them in places where they cannot pos
sibly be.
A simple and amusing toy can be made in
a few seconds. Take two strips Of thin
paper about fifteen inches long and from
one to two inches wide and twist them to
point about five inches to the top. Bend
the two free ends, one to the right and one
to the left, and you will have shape like
the letter y.
Throw this out Of the window in calm
weather and watch it revolve like screw
with. a vertical axis. It will revolve so
quickly that you will be unable to distin-
guish one side from the other.

I have not had such an interesting after

of those who cannot see seem to be perfect

for the loss of sight. The little children as

ladies from the Norwood Branch. About
twenty were there and it was truly inter-

around. as do children who see perfectly.

Aunt Dorothy's Corner

Dear Children: 1t is likely that nearly all
of YOU received numerous Christmas gifts,
and that not few of them were in the
nature of toys or games calculated 10
amuse YOU in your leisure hours. Most or
you, no doubt, have tried your new games
many times. and have come to a point
where YOU have asked, what shall we 90
next?" and then have probably fallen BACK
upon the practice of some old-time amuse-
ment that seems to be satisfactory When
all others fail; or 1t may be that you nave
found among the new games something that
YOU do not quickly tire Of. 1 would like to
hear from you as to what you consider the
most satisfactory and lasting amusement or
game that may be practiced in evenings at
home without undue disturbance OF others.
A short time ago, when We asked you 10
write to us of the things which you thought
would make an Ideal children's page, many
of you suggested that it should contain de-
scriptions of new games and amusements
though scarcely any of the letters receiVeu
have anything to say about what the "rl,,
erS find to be the most entertaining ahu
pleasing amusement.
Let me hear from you, once at least, OF
what you find to be your most entertaining
pastime when you are shut In the mousse py
cold or stormy weather. When you nave
told me what games you know may De
able to tell you of new one or two. or at
least such as are So old as to be practically
new to you. l can't promise surely, thoush'
for maybe you know all that l do.
One correspondent asks that some oil,
rections for solving the puzzles be printed
with them-this we will do when they are
of a kind not familiar. Most or those Wo

again. and see if you cannot find out Tor
yourself how to solve them; this is half the
interest.
