"Whose Are the Eyes?"
'Whose Are the Eyes?" which has
attained great popularity. dimly sug-
gests the Vehmericht, the secret
tribunal Of old Westphalia, in which
the judges sat closely cowled and
with their faces Invisible. The game,
however, is all mirth. Two of those
that take part In 1t are seated side by
side. Over the head of each is placed
an outstretched newspaper. In this
paper two holes are cut. The paper
conceals the head of each of the play
ers beneath and only the eyes are Wis
ible through the eye holes. The OBJ
ject of the game is for the rest Of the
players to guess the ownership of the
eyes as they see them by holding
candle close to them.
"Biow Out the Candle"
About as popular as this game is
"Blow Out the Candle" One of the
party is sent from the room. He or
she returns blindfolded. A candle
burns in the room, around which the
other merrymakers are gathered. The
blindfolded player must advance to the
candle and blow it out.
1t looks easy, but it isn't. The thick
ness of the blind is SO dense that the
light of the candle cannot be seen

Christmas is the supreme season
of happiness for children. Their
brains are filled with the beautiful
imaginations of the good deeds Of
old Santa Claus. Many of them re-
ceive their first strong impressions in
discriminating between good and
wrong, and the rewards for the for
mer and the punishments for the
latter
The festive character of Christmas
being undeniable, nothing can or
could be more pleasing to the children
and more strictly in accordance with
the spirit of the day than a house
party.
The day should begin for the child
with the finding of his stockings filled
with presents, which on the previous
evening were hung on the bed post.
This pretty custom should be encour-
aged until the wonderful travels and
kindnesses of Santa Claus are looked
upon with doubt by the recipient of
his bounty.

tributed. OF course If the father wants
to impersonate Santa Claus so much
the better. His appearance will be

not be resented by the more expert
enced ones of IL or 13 years.
Here are some suggestions in games.

ALONE AT CHRISTMASTIME
By S. BARINC-GOULD

Is there-can there be-a man more
lonely than one returned from far
country, who has been out of his home
land for 20 years, and comes back
when his parents are dead, his old
friends dispersed, and the old nest
has passed to other occupants? And
can his loneliness be more emphasized
than when his return syncronizes with
Christmas?
That was my condition when I re-
visited the mother country. With a
beating heart and straini1g eyes l had
looked for the first sight of dear old
America after having left 1t as lad.

l was back-not to home-I had no
home now. My heart began to fail

fall in line and march around the
swan, each gives 1t a blow with a
small stick until the bird is broken.
Then the fun begins-a scramble for
the gifts ensues, followed by games
and the usual merrymaking.

some little heads outside, with golden
curls and flushed cheeks. and child's
voice said: Please Mr.. What 's-your.

AS l hesitated, the child said:
"Please-Annie told us to ask you"
And then l saw the tall girl whom

dark behind them.

So 1 descended, and there were my
