Pencil and Paper Games.

Here are few interesting amusements
for the evening, suitable for the quieter
occasions when we don't feel particularly
like a hilarious party.
A few such are the followingS
Procure number OF pieces of paper
and fold them down the middle so that
a clear crease is left. like ruled line
running across the center. Procure a bot
tie of ink and very thick pen-a quill
pen is best; but IL this is unobtaina BILE
use very thick stub.
Dip the pen in the ink, taking up as
much ink as possible. Now, write your
name along the creased line, seeing that
the bottom Of the letters rest on the line
Now, while the ink is still wet fold over
the paper along the crease, and rub It
with your hands. spreading out the ink
out the paper. You will find inside the
ink outline Of the funniest little animal
you ever saw 1t will probably look like
a squashed beetle, or a shrimp or lob
ster: hut 1t will vary greatly in every
case. Get all your friends to sign their
names in this way. and you will have
great fun In seeing the fantastic figures
which are thus formed.
Another diversion Of a little different
character is this:
Procure large sheet of white paper,
and pin this on the wall, about Ave to
six feet from the floor. Turn out all the
lights in the room but one. which should
be at right angles to the paper. and four
friends, one at a time, to stand in front
of the paper the face being only few
inches from 1t. and then, with a pencil,
trace the shadow outline OF their face, as
it is thrown onto the paper. You will be
surprised to find that you can hardly
recognize the outline thus drawn. though
you thought at the time you were quite
accurate in your drawing. Let each one
draw some one else so that each may
have turn at being the artist as well
as model
A very humorous penci-and-paper game
is the following:
A number of slips Of paper and several
pencils are provided-as many as there
Now each person is asked to write the
name of a book, real or imaginary. and
then fold over the paper so that his
neighbor cannot see what is written. This
title Is written the slip Is handed. still
folded. to the person sitting to the right.
and he is asked to write a subtitle; then
the next one the name of an author the
slips being again folded and passed on.
Next, the publishers name is added.
Then an advertisement by the publisher.
Finally, three or four reviews OF the
book. each one written by a different
the other has written, the result is gen.
orally humorous, being somewhat as fol-
lows:

match to the lamp, An explosion fol-
lowed, the fire being communicated to
two-gallon can of gasoline, sending
