he is an old friend of the family.

A GOOD game TO play at a party
"a is story factory. Any number
of people a play. and it is a
pencil and paper game, so requires no
preparation on the part of the hostess,
except to make a list of sentences.
The story factory is supposed to be
run by the hostess for the purpose OF
manufacturing romantic and thrilling
tales at short notice.
To the assembled company, who walt
pencil in hand, she reads at intervals
sentences suitable for romantic and
adventurous situations. Each con-
testant Tor contestants working as
~partners) is to construct a story with
his sentences, weaving them in ome
how.
For instance, the sentences the host
ess reads may be these:
j. Her eyes were like sapphires.
2. What hoi said the pirate captain.
3. Enveloped by the stiffness of the
night.
4. The lions roar interrupts.
s. l always did like butter scotch.
6. The snow drift covered the vim
dow.
I. What! pancakes?
8. Alasl alack! My own true love.
o. Opening oysters is certainly diff
cult.
10. Umbrellas.
And woven into q story, they might
read somewhat after this fashion:
Her eyes were like sapphires, he
thought, as he gazed at her, enyelopea
by the stiffness of the night. But be-
fore he had time to put his thoughts
into words, What ho!" said the pirate
captain, breaking in upon them sud
denly. As the lions roar interrupts the
silence of the desert, so did the pirates
voice break in upon the lovers. II al

tinued blandly. trying to put them at
their ease. But. in spite of his kind in
tentions, the lovers did not welcome him
with warmth. They were cold in the

covered the window. What! PAN
cakes?" cried the incorrigible captain,
noticing the picnic ~pfovender collected
on the deck. ALIAS. alack, my own true
love- murmured the hero, will he

sOpening oysters is certainly diff
cult remarked the captain, working
away with an obdurate specimen he had
found heal the pancakes. "If you try II
with a you will certainly
