Drawing Room blizzard.

A new and pretty game is drawing
room blizzard. To enjoy it best go
into the hall or longest in the
house. Sometimes the door between
two small rooms may be opened and
thus give plenty Of space.
Divide the players. Send half to one
end, half to the other.
Fasten two extra wide tapes near
each end for goals. For a ball make a
large Il Of paper, something like
those used for shaving papers. Place
this ball in the middle Of the room, and
at a given signal let each player. pre-
viously armed with a small fan. try
to blow the ball over the opposite goal.
The number Of goals to a game must be
planned beforehand, and each success
is scored to the winning side.

In the pocket-like angle formed by the

This once in place, you are prepared to

ago there has perhaps been less Of this,
as the starting has, as a rule, been emf
nently satisfactory.
AS late as last year. however, there
was experimenting done as between the
standing start close to the barrier, as
advocated by Fitzgerald, and the walk
up system, favored and used witt
much success by Mars Cassidy. Both

particular style he favored officially

with enough success to convince tn

use the same method later. 1t resultea
disastrously, however, in the hands o
a man unused to it, and such a clamo
arose over the loose and ragged start
