Coeur d'Alene evening press. (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho) 1907-1929, 1908-02-25

This game is extremely simple. Pen
ellis and paper are distributed and each
member of the group asked to write a
question or ask for definition.
The question papers are folded and
placed in dish or basket, and each
player draws one. He is required to
answer the question which has fallen
to his lot.
Latent cleverness Is often called
forth by the exigencles of the moment,
and when after each round the an
swers are read the war of wit Is most
amusing.
If desired, the players may use pseu-
donyms. The best definition wins a
prize.
Examples of the questions. with anna
teur answers, are:
What is Iuck7 Other peoples sue
cess.
What is hobby? A horse that
sometimes rides its rider

GUESSING Hide and Seek.

This is quiet game, played sitting
still. The child who is to make be-
lieve" hide decides in his own mind
where the hiding place Is to be, This
may be on top or under bookcase, in
vase or any nook or corner that APP
peals to the child and not necessarily
a place large or accessible enough to
really hide in.
When the word "ready" is given, the
other children take turns at guessing
the hiding place, and as they may be
near or far from right, the old answers,
Hot" "cold," Every hot" etc. are
given, just as in the regular game of
hide and seek. If desired, prizes may
be given to the one or two making the
most correct guesses.

due to the deposit of gases and fine
dust particles on the surface of any
