ANY PORT IN A STORM.
An Amusing and Lively Game For a
ChiIdrens Party.

Let the players sit in two lines oppo-
site each other at some little distance
apart. Then two members stand be-
tween, one of whom Is blindfolded; the
other In whisper gives the players
ON one side of the line the names OF
vessels-for instance. 'the Kentucky"
1.-THE Maine," etc The other side he
names rs different ports. such as Liv-
erpool, Boston, New York, etc. After
doing this he stands beside the blind
folded player, who is termed a
wreck" and cries aloud. 1.-THE Ken
lucky is ordered to the port Of Liver
pool" whereupon the ship Of that
name and the port change places, and
the wreck" tries to slip into one Of
the empty places. Then the player
who calls out the changes may give
the wreck" better opportunity by
saying, London, Boston and New York
call for aid from the Kentucky, the
Maine and the st. Louis" In the gen.
eral scramble the wreck" usually
finds port, and the one without seat
becomes the wreck"
