Riddle Bee.

A splendid game for an evening par
ty is riddle bee. TO prepare for 1t
the entertainer gathers up in advance
of the party all the conundrums, old
and new, which she can collect and
makes list of them. Old favorites,
such as How many p's in pint" or
the historic nursery catch about the
pump handle. are quite as good as the
most recent riddles for the purposes
OF the game, though a new one that no
one has heard as yet adds to the even
ings fun.
To play the game the company Is
ranged in row as If for an old fash
toned spelling bee.
The hostess is teacher and pro-
pounds the riddles to be answered In
stead Of giving words to be spelled.
Those who answer correctly go up.
and those who fail go down, and the
person who stands "at the head Of the
class" when the list of conundrums is
exhausted wins the game.
