A Bucket Race.

Here is a new pastime for the days
when it is cold enough to call your
skates out.
An old broom and a bucket are ne
cessary for each player The buckets
should be filed to the brim with water
and set in front of their respective
owners.
The object is to push the filled buck
cts of water given distance across
the ice-the player who succeeds in
traversing the distance in the quickest
time wins, providing he retains more
water in his bucket than the others.
But if he spills more than does the
boy who comes in second, then the or
der of finishing is reversed, and the
second boy in point of speed wins. A
rule can be used to measure the
amount of water remaining in the
buckets.
If you are giving a skating party
and want to introduce some novelties,
you will find the bucket race will make
q hit as one of them, as well as afford
ing the slower and more careful skat-
ers a chance to even up" on their
speedier and more careless friends.

Favors at a Party.

A pleasant little way to distribute
the gifts or favors at childrens par
ties is to tie them to the chandelier
by means Of strings. Lead the chill
dren in turn to the end of the room;
blindfold them and turn them around,
then let them march to the chandelier
to cut down a gift with scissors, blunt
pointed ones, if possible.
Another pretty and everlasting al
version is to have in an adjoining
room as many red balloons as chill
dren. Let these float through the
room with strings attached. On open
ing the door have the children rush
in and try to catch the strings. In
large cities white balloons with the
children's names painted on them in
red letters may be obtained at a price
not exceeding ten certs.
Balloons always delight little people,
and the excitement of catching and
proudly carrying them home as SOU
venirs forms a delightful ending for
an entertainment.

Florrie's Little Garden.

Florrie was little girl four years
old. She had heard her cousin Ethel
tell that last spring she had planted
seeds in her little garden and cared
for her baby plants.
Florrie was very anxious to have her
own little garden. Not wishing to
wait until the spring, one day in Feb
ruary, finding herself alone in the sit
ting room, with her small toy shovel
she dug up the earth in the big wood
en- box all around the large palm
plant.
Calling to her grandma to bring the
nasturtium seeds, she said: "Oh,
grandma, dear, my little garden is
ready. l have taken out all the sticks
and stones, and made nice, soft bed
for my baby seeds
With her fat, chubby fingers Florrie
MADE narrow furrow all around the
big palm. Carefully putting one baby
seed beside the other, she covered the
furrow with soft, loose earth, and pat
ted it gently with her little hand
Every few days she gave her baby
seeds water with a tiny watering can,
for, she said, she knew they must be
thirsty.
After waiting over two weeks, Flor
RE began to lose her patience. One
night she whispered softly in her pray
ers: "Oh, dear Cod, do help my baby
seeds to grow"

just peeping out of crack in the
earth. They looked so sweet with
their two small leaves still tightly
folded. Florrie was very much wor-
ried over the big load Of earth they
had on their backs, and would gladly
have taken it off, but grandma ex-
planned that it would kill them to do
so.
In a few days rows of little yellow
ish green heads were peeping out.
Soon the tightly closed leaves unfold
ed; then as they grew larger, they
all turned and seemed to look out the
window Florrie thought they were
very inquisitive little baby plants, I'M
til grandma explained they were only
looking at the bright, warm sunshine.
Florrie called herself "the little gar
dener" She took good care of her
baby plants, giving them water every
few days.,
Noticing that several did not grow
as fast as the others, she said:
Grandma dear, l think this little
plant is sick, and to cure it we must
give it few drops of castor oil, like
Nellie gives my baby sister"
Standing on her top-toes, Florrie
was just able to reach up to the big
wooden box, to kiss her little plants

A Paper Party.

Here is the description of paper
party which was recently given by a
little girl to her friends:
The party took place promptly at s
in the evening, and consisted of games
and luncheon.
The invitations explained that each
guest would be expected to talk on
paper" for one minutes time. the
subject to be: How Paper is Manu-
featured" The Many Uses to Which
Paper 1t Put" etc, etc.
After these brief speeches followed
the game called Cut paper art" The
little hostess, assisted by several 9th
er girls, passed scissors and sheets
of black or dark colored paper to the
guests requesting them to cut from
these sheets the busts of noted per-
sonages, or the forms of animals,
fowls. flowers and fish. These "cut-
tings" were collected in paper basket
and passed over to selected judges,
who rapidly stuck them on sheets Of
white note paper (using little library
paste for the purpose), and then pass
ed Judgment on the merits of the
work, awarding a prize to the best-cut
head or figure. A consolation prize
was presented to the BOBBY piece
Then followed the luncheon, which
was prettily served in papier mache
plates. platters and baskets. The to-
BILE was covered with pink crinkled
nj ho
of the board with paper ribbon and
great punches Of white and pink paper
roses. These same flowers decorated
the center of the table, being banked
in green paper ferns. Fancy Japanese
napkins were used.
To make the PAPER mache plates
and platters attractive they were tint
ed prettily with water colors, some
having sprays of flowers on their
