AHODERN ideas OF propr1etV by J.. L.
lFl have made the play partya
thing of the past in localities in
which it was once most popular Parties Of this
kind still obtain in OF the rural districts but
our revised ideas of correct department have
deprived honest Young fellows and rosy
checked maidens of the delight they once
found in coming together on long winter even
ings in the old farnhouses in the villages
and ENJOYING the play party with its great
variety of kissing games and NOISY fun.
Often the party closed with an oyster sup
per and there would be unlimited quantities
OF pie, doughnuts, and apples The young tel-
lows were almost sure to have in their pockets
an abundant supply OF pep minis. and this
confectionery would be in heart shaped forms,
with such amorous inscriptions as love YOU :
or You are my heart delight on them.
The penetrating odor of musk was III evl-
dence on the handkerch,efs of the girls, while
cinnamon drops were more popular as per
fume with the BOYS. There a bright pink
hair oil of pungent odor that was much IN
vogue, and the wearing OF paper collars brought
forth no invidious criticism, even though the
collar was with flannel shirt. Poetry
and kissing were happily combined in many of
the games.

A Game of Much Kissing

A Game of Much Kissing
RECALL one game involving much kiss
ing that bv the time twenty more per-
sons had entered into it each would have been
kissed fifty sixty times. When PLAYING this
alluring game the young people ranged them
selves in two lines. Facing each other they
sang Justify and to rollicking air:
Here stands a Young couple,
Both joined heart and hand
Oh, it's he wants wife,
And she wants man,
And they can be married
If they can agree:
So march down the center
In love and harmo-neef
The couple at the head of the line then
clasped hands and marched down the room
between the two lines, and this was supposed
to constitute the marriage ceremony. Then
the Young man marched to the head OF the
line again behind the young men and the young
woman did the same behind the girls, while
the others sang:
Now, they are married.
And. since 1t is So
Away to the in haste he must go!
I'm mourning, I'm mourning
And this shall be my cry,
If l never see my true love
surely shall die!''
The true love" then appeared and en-
braced his bride, while the others sang:
oh, here comes my true love!
And how do you do,
And how have you been
Since last youo
The wars all over
And we're free from wars alarms
So can't YOU give JOY
BY the raising of your arms,"
Then all the boys and girls clasped hands
high in the air. creating d kind of arch, under
which the reunited pair marched, the bride
kissing every boy in the line, while the bride
groom had the happy privilege of SO saluting
everyone of the girls.
Then the next couple at the head of the line
married" in the same way, and with the
same osculatorv result, and SO until each
couple had been properly united.

which the Young men chose partners and
arranged themselves in two long lines facing
each other. While the couple at the head
marched down between the lines the others
sang
oh. don't you see this pretty miss
All dressed in riches of beauty,
A-sailing down the fowry fields
So faithful to her duty
Oh, don't think she's pretty miss,
And don't YOU think she's clever,
And don't you think that she and |
Will make a match forever

But | must have the best of wheat
To make a cake for Charley
For Charley he's nice young lad,
And Charley he's dandy
And Charley he's the very lad

Give Her Kiss and Let Her Go
A MOTHER game was one in which a young
I fellow seated himself on one of two chairs
in the center of the room and sang this aluring
invitation:
Green grows the willow tree,
Green grows the willow treei
Green grows the willow tree
Come, love and sit by me-"
Then the young fellow pointed his finger at
the object of his choice, and she in duty
bound to sit by him, after which the Others
sang:
lon the banks the rushes grow,
On the banks the rushes grow!
On the banks the rushes grow!
Give her a kiss and let her go!''
The Three Thinkers
A GAIN three young fellows would lock arms
and march up to some other fellow in the
room, singing:
Three tinkerS three thinkers,
Three thinkers, are we,
Accounting your daughters
SO rare and SO air
Can we get lodging
Here, oh here,
Can get lodging heres"
To this the father of three daughters might
reply, if he did not like the looks of the
thinkers:
Three tinkers three thinkers,
Three thinkers, you are,
Accounting nv daughters
SO and SO fair.
You can't get lodging
Here. oh here
You can't get lodging herei"
Thus rejected. the three thinkers" would go
on their way singing:
"A fig for your daughters!
Much less for yourself!
Wen go mile farther
And better ourSelveS!"

One Cure For Toothache.

When the old clothes man
dropped into the kitchen of
South Side residence the other
day he saw the man of the house
hugging the kitchen range with a
wooden shawl tied over his head.
After the dealer had got through
haggling with the mistress OF the
house as to the price to be paid
for certain cast-off articles of
apparel, proceeding punctuated
by frequent groans from the
region of the stove. he jerked his
head toward that quarter and in
quired:
"What's the matter with him?
Is he cold2"
Hes got the toothache and
has been suffering tortures all
night with it," answered the wife
of the sufferer.
as that all1" said the old
clothes man. II thought maybe
he was cold"
This sally made the old clothes
man laugh.
"A toothache amt nothin'," he
said, 81 can cure a toothache in
a minute if the tooth amt ulcer
ated.'"
"Cure this one and I'll give you
a suit of Clothes" answered the
man.
The old clothes man asked for
an old iron spoon and some salt.
These being provided. he filled
the spoon with salt and laid the
spoon on the glowing Goals in the
range. When the salt was as hot
as it could get he poured it on
clean sheet of paper. and with
broad-bladed knife pulverized it
into a Dnc powocr.
"Snuff some of this up your
nose" he said, offering the paper
to the sufferer. "Wben you want
to spit your toothachc will be
gone"
1t was only moment until the
sufferer sneezed and then expcc-
torated. by jove but it's gone!"
he exclaimed, as he tore the
shawl from his head and then
danced jig in his joy. That's
the greatest ever" he said. "How
in the world did you do ita"
II dun know. Some folks say
there's chemical action comes
from the iron spoon. hot salt and
scorchcd paper. But when it
goes round your hopper and hits
the right nerve, it stops the ache.
I've tried it on hundreds of pco-
pie. and it never fails 'cept on an
liberated tooth. and it makes
your head feel fine" And then
