The San Francisco call., 1909-12-11

HRISTMAS parties are lots of fun,
I and all boys and girls who possibly
can should plan 10 give Christ
mas festivity of some sort for their
friends during the holidays. There are
all sorts Of things to be done at Christ
mas parties, but whatever one selects
as the proper diversions for the after
noon or evening it is apt to be salts
factory because of the Christmas spirit.
This Christmas spirit is charming
thing which always suggests Joltity and
kindness, bright faces, holly and laurel.
Christmas trees. warm fires and general
gayety But if everybody left it for
somebody else to provide the Christ
mas spirit there wouldn't be much of
it, and so every single one of us should
try very. very hard to do whatever we
can to contribute our little part.
One Of the things we can do is to
help get up Christmas parties. This
may sound very imposing and as IL 1t
were going TO take a great deal of
time and money, but there can be
Christmas parties which cost very lit
lie of either. especially Of money.
A pleasant sort Of party is for
. children who know how TO sing and
who have singing teachers who viii
help them TO learn the old Christmas
songs and learn them so well that
they viii be pleasure to listen to.
This viii give great pleasure to older
people if done by children who have
good voices and have studied songs.
For large children's parties, dancing,
especially the Virginia reel, and games
are the proper sort of entertainment.
Christmas party games are the old
fashioned ones in which everybody will
Join. Blind mans buff is one of the
best things TO play, going to Jerusa-
lem, charades, etc. Bobbing for ap-
pies is vorite Christmas sport in
England, and is lots of fun If one
doesn't mind getting little water on
ones best clothes.
For a smaller Christmas party, where

not possible, candy making is good
sport. The candy should be old fash
ioned molasses. such as requires pull
ing Then there is popcorn, which is
lots OF fun to do. and charades. which
are always interesting. Quieter games,
such as lotto, picture puzzles and the
like. are also good, but a Christmas
party should be kept as lively as pos
sible
If it is large or expensive Christ
mas party there is always a Jack Hor-
ner pie Of some sort. Every year there
are new ways of making the Jack
Horner pie, which may either be put
in the center of the table or hung
from the ceiling. The pie is made of
colored tissue paper and stuffed with
prizes and there is a ribbon attached
TO each prize. Attached to the other
end of the ribbon is a boy er girl who
is a guest at the Christmas party.
When the proper moment arrives the
host or hostess says pull, and every
body does pull, whereupon the paper
tears and out comes a delightful gift
for every ene.
Now, of course. this seems expensive.
but if you make your own Christmas
pie you won't find it So Lots of quaint
little gifts can be found for or 10
cents and YOU can make the ME of q
large tin or porcelain bowl or pan 1t
should be quite large and deep. and
you should make a ruche of crepe pa
Fer to go around the sides. Then put
your gifts inside the pie, wrapping
each one in as many laysrs of paper as
possible, so it viii be amusing to un-
fasten it. Then take large sheet of
crepe paper, cut it the shape Of the
bowl or pan, only larger, and cut tiny
Sits all around the center large enough
for baby ribbon to be passed through.
The ribbon is fastened 10 each gift
and then put through the holes in the
PAPER. Eeeh person present at the
party has one emu of ribbon.

Presently she felt herself lifted up

Then why not do that?" replied the
voice.
The princess was greatly astonished
that anybody should suggest work 10

fairy companion see her fail to keep
her word, so she went out into the
court, and, though nobody knew that

somehow, she was not altogether salts

voice telling her of the people through
out her kingdom who needed her help
ard to whom she owed some of her
time and care. But such thoughts were
soon forgotten again.
One evening in winter as the prin

the laughter of her maids in waiting
and watching the pranks of the court

the chimney telling of the storm out

OF the suffering OF her poor people on

grew so insistent that the princess
wandered to the door of the palace and
looked out into the night with its
driving snow. Still the voice seemed
reminding her of those who must face
the bitter weather.

thing to do" she said at last fretfully.
The words Were no more than past her
lips when she .felt again the strong
hand on her arm and was once more
