TIMELY SUGGESTIONS
THAT WILL
HELP THE HOSTESS

each individual hostess must decide
for herself The tally cards may be
made at home from colored cardboard
cut In tho shape Of an Interrogation
mark. Number each one at the top
and place corresponding numbers on
the puzzles. For instance, the players
who have number 1. 2, 3, will take
puzzles marked 1, 2, 3, 4, and go to
head table which will be marked mum.
Der 1. Those who draw 8, 6, Z, 8 will
take puzzles marked the same and 20
to table number 2. When a player
finishes at the head table a bell is
rung and each child moves a number
ahead; then every player who has
solved his or her puzzle has a punch
In the card or a star affixed. Tho
hostess must use her own judgment
how long the progressions shall last,
as the secret of success in any party
is not to let the guests become weary;
stop while they want to go on. This
party is best suited for children from
eight to twelve. Serve chicken sand
wiches, cocoa with a marshmallow in
each cup, ice-cream in fancy moulds
and tiny frosted cakes. | have found
that small cakes are much better for
children's parties than larger ones

Some New. Old Gamna-

Here are some very old games, but
l am sure they will be brand-new to
many of our young readers. The first
is called Catching the Snakes Tail"
and comes to US from Japan, where
1t Is a great favorite. The children
form in line, each with hands resting
upon the shoulders of the player in
front. The one who Is to act as
catcher" Is left out. The first child
In the line is called the head" and
the last one the tail" When time
to begin the catcher" is placed about
10 feet from the head" at a signal
he tries to catch the tail" or the last
child In the snake" without touching
any one else. The others may de.
fend the tail" by moving about, keep
Ing the line unbroken, for If the line
should be broken 1t is equal to the
tail" being caught and that unlucky
person must become the catcher while
the last named goes to the head of
the line.
Now for the second game, called
Feather Play" 1t is very amusing,
although 1t sounds so simple. All the
players are seated on the floor, having
first countetd "out" to see who will be
"it." A hollow square is formed with
a sheet held close up to the chins of
the players on the floor. A feather is
produced, little downy thing. and
blown back and forth by the players.
The trick is for the child who is at"
to try to catch the feather on one OF
the children or directly in front of
child when that one becomes at"
The feather must not be touched by
the hands of the children on the floor
nor must they rise from the floor;
their hands must be kept under the
sheet, all manipulations of the feather
being done by blowing.

In due time the woman's suffrage
propaganda reached Millville. Several
prominent suffragists descended upon
the town in an automobile, and made
speeches from that vehicle right In
the middle of the public square of a
Saturday afternoon. Ten years ago
all the women in Millville would have
