CHRISTMAS REUNION
HOW TO MAKE THE HOLIDAY
PARTIES MOST ENJOYABLE.
A Number of Games That viii Prove
Pleasing for Both Old and
Young at the Yuletide
Season.
BY Mary Dawson.

by wary DAWSON.
The wealth Of new games Is so great
of late years that the entertainer is
apt to overlook the splendid old
games, many of which have never
been surpassed, If, indeed, we can
equal them. Old favorites are special
ly good for Christmas reunion gather
ings because in most cases they re-
quire no advance preparation and are
easily grasped by the few to whom
they are unfamiliar.
One such sport is that called "act-
ing adjectives" To play it one men,
Der OF the company leaves the room,
and each person remaining agrees
upon a certain adjective, which he or
she will act out when called on to do
SO. When the retiring player is re-
called he asks someone in the group
a question. This player must then an
swer in way which will illustrate
the adjective assigned to him. Thus,
a player who has taken the word
noisy" will bawl his reply, and at the
same time contrive to let book fall
to the floor with loud clap.
The man or girl representing "taci-
turn" must reply in as few words as
possible, and so forth. AS soon as the
guesser has OWNED one of the con-
cealed words he takes a chair in the
circle, while the person whose adjec-
tive he guessed withdraws from the
room.
Magic music" makes a lively num-
Der in the program, played in this
way. One person is chosen to hide
draw, with the exception of the per
son who will play the piano. The per.
son holding the ring then hides it, &C
quainting the musician with it's where
abouts, and the company Is read
mitted
The players now arrange themselves
In row, each one with his hands on
the shoulders of the person in front
of him. One player, the leader, head
ing the procession. When the music
starts the line of boys and girls goes
off In search of the ring, guided in
this by the music. This, of course
plays loud and cheerily as the object
| is approached, slow and dolefully
when the procession is headed in the
wrong direction, and faintest wheI

Thought transference" is not pre-
cisely game of contest, but there ar,
