HOW We AMUsE OURSELVES ON
RAINYDAYS.

A rainy day isfnot always dismal, il
we make it pleasant by playing games
or making candy. 49,
On rainy day, when 1t rained very
hard, we made some ice cream candy.
While we were waiting for it to cool,
we played checkers, which was very
Interesting. Then we pulled the candy,
which was the most fun of all. MY sis
ter and then played some games on
paper by representing the words in
aFsentence of dots. Then one of us
would give q letter to be substituted
in every word Of the sentence where
that letter occurred. r. there wasn't
any letters to be found In the sentence
a rectangle was drawn and portion
Of their body leach time they missed
letter. was added, to suspended
rope drawn from the top Of the rec
tangle. So the game goes on.
That afternoon the neighbor chil.
dren and my sister and I told ghost
stories, which we all enjoyed much.
We then told riddles and fairy stories.
After this we brought our. little, table
down stairs and had a little lunch CT
lemonade, cookies and candy.
When five o'clock came the rain had
ceased and the children went. home,
We all agreed that we had had q fine
time if it did rain. Il

OF course ON rainy days we amuse
ourselves indoors. think that those
who are bookwor1ns can amuse them
selves by going in cozy corner by
themselves with an interesting book
Miss Johnston's Little Colonel Ser
les" Little Pepper Books" and The
Gypsy Sores" are some very nice
books. Those who are lively and like to
play games can have lots Of fun. A
peanut race will afford much fun. This
Is the way to play It: You let all boys
and girls line up across the middle or
the room with their peanut. Besides
their peanut each one has a tooth
pick. At the word "go" each one be-
gins to drive their peanut across the
room toward the wall. but must not
touch the peanut with anything save
the toothpick. The person that reaches
the goal or wall first wins the game.
The peanut drivers must get down on
their knees and of course there Is
very lively scramble.
Another game which forget its
name: One person says II went to
Europe last summer and I took cloth
ing and blankets. The next person re-
peats the same thing. only adding one
more thing to the list until it is impos-
sible to remember all Of the things
that were taken. When the person for
gets one of the articles that were men,
toned they have to pay forfeit until
all are out. There are many more IN
teresting games that can be played In
doors that / will not take the time to
mention. The little ones can play with
dolls also. You can also get your
mamma or friend to sit in the middle
OF the room and tell you children
stories which would be verv nice.

CAROLINE'S SUNDAY SCHOOL
PICNIC. - ft" sss i

We were to meet at the street car
waiting room at ten o'clock with well
filled baskets. When the children had
all gathered at the street car waiting
room we took the west loop car, going

we put our baskets and things on the
ground and we children ran to swing.
After time the ladies came to
swing us awhile while the men went
after water to drink. About twelve
o'clock the ladies called us to dinner
which consisted of many good things
which the children enjoyed very much.
After dinner the tables were cleared
amusements which consisted Of games.
A race from the band stand to where
the people were standing. The prize
was Testament. Then race for little
folks. The prize was q doll. Then came
q sack race for boys. The prize was
book. Then game for girls which
consisted Of sticks. The prize was a
pin tray.
At last the ladies entertained the
little folks with a bail game, the win
ming side receiving beautiful plate.
And at five o'clock the children gath
cred up their baskets and started for
home with sun burned faces and arms.
When we arrived at the street car
waiting room and were bidding each.
