The late trip of Sara Bernhardt
through the south has been a reve
latIon and new ideas to eastern the
atrical managers, as she played In
a tent successfully at many cities
to an audience of 5000 to 1900
people, demonstrating that what is
most needed IS the proper acous-
tics that the audience can hear ev-
cry sound and proper seating that
everyone IN the audience can sit
comfortably and see every move
on the stage, and large stage for
the performers; = that these are
far more important than the glare
of long rows of electric lights, the
guided decorations and tlnseIs
which make a play house so expen
slve and an extra admission charge
to pay interest and cost And that
neat plain curtains are better than
pictured, as an audience gets tired
of looking at picture SO long and
so often. At her entertainment al

Nowadays
There seems to be growing inclination
among many of us to look upon Christmas
as distinctly tiresome and almost obsolete
institution, to be over with as little fuss as
possible. and to be quietly but surely rele-
gated to things forgotten. This attitude
toward the beautiful festival is all right
fer the grown-ups, but what about the chill
dren? Are they to be deprived of the
great red letter day of childhood, of the
infinite joy and delight which Christmas
brings to them? Think of the long delicious
anticipation. the many charming secret
preparations, and the wonderful fairylike
realization. when the great day at length
arrived. of ones own childhood. What a
blank would have been left in the child s
year If Christmas had been cut out of it,
and what host of beautiful memories We
should all have missed! l think the ma
jority of my readers will agree with me that

With pencil may afford many novel forms
of amusements. A simple suggestion IS to
provide sheets of paper which are placed
upon a table in an even pile, the leader be-
ing provided with six pins. Five of these
are held above the pile Of sheets, few
feet away, and dropped SD that they will
not fall off. The sixth pin is used to mark
the heads of the other five, the holes be-
ing made through the entire pile of sheets
Each guest is then to draw the picture of
some animal the outlines of which shall

if the figure be other than human.
Or the artist may commence with the
head of any figure. fold the papersover so
as to conceal his effort, and pass along to
the right for the addition of the body. His
right hand neighbor having comp eted the
body, hands the paper over to the right
hand guest, who adds the legs. When the
papers are unfolded. each player is
ignorant of what his neighbCr has done, the
results are often extremely grotesque.
variation from the old game of 'Puss
in the Corner is for the players to place
their chairs in a circle. being empty,
and the person who is standing in the CEN
ter endeavor to sit in il. AS the rule is for
each person to sit in the unoccupied chair
to the right. this is often extremely diff
cult AS the circle of players is continually
moving to the right as rapidly as possible,
the game is often called "whirwind.''
The game of Predcaments is of German
origin. not new. but always novel and
amusing Each whispers a predicament to
his right-hand neighhor. For example:

Such arrangement pleasantly may be
varied by a distribution of small presents
some time during the evening. These HI
tie souvenirs are highly appreciated by the
small guests, and as they can be made for
trifiing sum, by the expenditure OF Mt

consideration, they greatly add TO the
success of the party. They may be d1stri-

gives pleasure. Then there is the time
honored Christmas tree which always Is
fresh and delightful to the small specta-
tors. Another idea, which is newer, and
which always meets with tremendous APP
plause, is a draw well. The little sketch
above gives some idea of how the draw
well should be made. The well itself con-
sists of light framework of strips of wood
roughly nailed together in the shape shown
in the Illustration and covered with crinkled
paper or glazed calico in some pretty bright
color. 1t should be finished and decorated
with bands and festoonS of evergreens.
To the top is fixed a framework holding
little winch and handle which works up
and down a chlds bucket. When ready,
this draw well should be placed inside an
open door and two screens arranged round
it in such a fashion to leave an open
space of a foot or so between them, right
at the back of the draw well. This space
is covered by a short curtain, a hole is
made in the well at the bottom to cor
respond with the space between the screens.
and some responsible person takes a seat
behind. AS each child comes up to the
WELL calls out its name. and lowers the
bucket suitable parcel is slipped in,
wound up to the surface and secured by
the happy baby.
Talking of parties reminds me that there
is rapidly growing liking for children's
fancy dress dances. which certainly are
delightfully."- pretty, the various costumes
worn being a source of endless amusement
to the little wearers. AS it is probable
that some of the small members of our
household may be invited to such fes-
tivity a few words on the right sort of
fancy dresses may not be out of place. To
begin with, all such costumes should be of
fairly simple type. Overelaboration COM
pletey destroys the pretty childish effect
of the dress, to say nothing of the extra
cost it involves. Then they should be as
inexpensive as possible, for a costume of
the kind will be worn at the most three
or four times before it is completely out
grown. For my own part 1 must confess
to a Partially for pretty peasant dresses.

Trains Are Back Again.

Once again long graceful trains are to
be seen. and as they are becoming alike to
short and tall stout and slender, 1t is to
be hoped that the fashion has come to
stay-were such thing to be dreamed of.
1t Is to be noticed that most of the younger
women still have their ball gowns cut
rather short-that is. while long all around
the train is scarcely noticeable. Naturally.
the comfort of a short dancing gown Is
great. but then the charming lines given
to the figure by long sweep of silk or
satin should more than compensate for the
slight Inconvenience. and as a matter of
fact. long train is no more difficult to
manage and looks far better when gath
cred ND than q shorter one.
