AMUSING Contests,

This very funny contest took place
on ship board. where all sorts of nom
sensical stunts are planned to beguile
the time away. 1t is just as funny on
land as on sea. Perhaps some may
object to the cigarette race, but this
may be overcome by using cubeb ones.
Out on the lawn or on a breezy cor.
ner of the porch place four girls in
a row. each having a well-filled match
box: at a distance of. say, 20 feet
place four young men with cigarettes
unlit In their mouths. When the sig
nal Go" is given the men run to the
girls. get the cigarettes lighted and
the man who first gets back to the
starting point Is the winner, as well
as the girl who lights the cigarette
for him. A prize may be awarded to
each. The match boxes may be used
as shields to keep the match from
blowing out, but the girls must do It
with no aid from the men. In the ex-
element some girls had to light three

4 Bernhard Trick.

Nine. Sarah Bernhard, who Is sup
posed to be something of an artist a.
well as an actress. was recently call
ed upon In one of her marvellous crea-
lions to enact the role Of q sculptor.
and to model Q certain bust In view Of
the audience. This fairly electrified
the critics. but when going into rhep-
sodies over the technical skill In han
ding the clay which Nine Bernhardt
exhibited they showed that they knew
little of the artistic tricks of actors
and actresses: as a matter Of fact, she
does nothing of the kind. The bust
Is modelled and baked. and over II is
placed damp clay of the same color
This the talented actress merely pulls

head underneath.

An Animal Party.

Rather q novel party was given re-
Gently by q mother with two little
children. aged seven and ten. Each
child was asked to come wearing an
article that would indicate some AMI
NAL. When all had arrived the chill
dren were to guess all the animals
represented. 1t was an interesting
menagerie. assure you. It made a
jolly half hour. Then there was an
animal hunt" All over the lawn, the
porches and on the lower floor of the
large house animal crackers had been
hidden. There were cunning little
baskets given to each one to hold the
spells; basket and crackers to be kept
and besides there was a prize of those
cunning little animals to be found at
japanese stores. A toy animal also
made a unique prize and a "Noah's
ark" Best of all the fun was mould
Ing animals out Of clay, each child
being protected by a large towel tied
around the neck and in around the
waist. After that a good elder sister
told animal stories. while the refresh
ments were being made ready. There
was creamed chicken, wee sand
witches. ice cream with animal-shaped
cookies. Then they had a game
played just like Stage coach. only they
all had the names Of animals and
turned around when their names were
called. When It came time to go
home the mother came out and said:
Now you are all changed into little ,
mice and must run away quickly to
find your houses before the old cat
gets out" and such a merry scamper-
ing as there was. with Good byes"
and lovely times from each little
guest.
