To See the New Year In.

Dear Miss Doom.
We are going to have a party Of friends
(mostly grown people, to see the old year
out and the new year 10. Since the last
day Of the year comes on a Sunday, and
since some Of our friends are quite par
ticular about playing games or Sunday.
will you please publish in the Evening
STAR, of which I am a reader, what
games would be appropriate for our
friends entertainment? Yours respect
fully, 8. L. It.
Yes, hostesses will be confronted with
a difficult problem this year. 1t is diff
ficult to find a method of entertainment
that will be appropriate to the Sabbath
and still be interesting. The only thing
I can suggest is a program of readings
and music. Haven't you an elocutionisr
among your friends who will read one
of the standard short classics? This
with a program of appropriate songs

For an Enlarged Joint.
Dear Miss Doom:

Dear Miss Doom:
Kindly let me know through the STAR
what to do for an enlarged joint Of the
foot thai is very sore? Also, il Danderine
is apt to turn the hair dark? Mine is
light and 1 don't wish it to get dark.
Thanking you in advance. EDITH.
Hot water poured upon the joint from
a kettle held at ONE distance above
the foot will do a great deal toward re-
lleving this condition. Have the water
as hot as you can bear 1t m repeat
the treatment every night until the
joint returns to It's normal size.
l cannot comment upon a patented
remedy. You should be very careful to
keep your hair bright-iooking, as light
hair which is dull and dusty Is anything
but pretty.

will pass the evening pleasantly. A
poem such as 'Evangeline' or "Enoch
Arden set to music is always enjoya-
BILE. Maybe some of Jul readers will be
able to suggest a method of entertain
ment. If so we shall be glad to hear
from them. as I am sure you are not
the only one in this dilemma.

Gift Suggestions.

One of our readers has kindly con-
tributed these suggestions for Christ
mas gifts and for a contribution to a
fair. We thank her and hope that they
will be of service to many:
A Useful Cushion.
Any little girl who knows how to crochet
can make this gift for mother or big SIS
ter or aunty:. Buy a scent spool Of silk
ateen. With it crochet two small round
mats. Any close stitch like single crochet
stitch will do nicely. Join these two
mats together almost all the way round,
leaving only q small opening. Through
this opening put small white beans, as
many as your crochet cushion will hold.
Now close the opening. Put a row of
shell stitch Of ~scallops all around the
Joining. This makes a pretty finish.
Stick baiIpins In the top of your bean bag

For the Fair.
Perhaps your Sunday school is going to
have a fair and you want to make some
thing for it. I will tell you how to make
a nice little penwiper: Take pieces OF
flannel and cut them into circles. Pink
the edges nicely. That means cut the
edges in little points with the scissors.
II you cannot do this nicely, try scallop-
ing the edges. To do this lay your thimble
or a small spool and mark around 1t
with a pencil. Now cut out these marked
scallops. The fanne circles, some small,
some large, you can fasten through the
these stitches with q Santa Claus seal.

URGES MUSIC IN THE HOME
ethical Culture Man Would Have Chill
dren Begin by Learning to Play
on the 0ishpan.

A member Of tho faculty Of the Eth
cal Culture school of New York urges
The development Of music in the home
BY unusual though simple means. He
would have the growing child learn to
play upon his mothers dishpan as an In
PRODUCTION to the keyboard Of the pia-
40, and graduate from drumming upon
. rubber hand to the strings Of a vio-
I'm. He mentioned also the triangle
and the xylophone as examples OF the
more primitive instruments a child
could learn to play. and he might have
extended the list with the instruments
employed In the kinder-symphony-the
cuckoo. the water whistle. the watch
mans rattle and the other diminutive
editions of the cacophonous inventions
Of Richard Strauss.
To carry the idea further. a child who
has the lamdable ambition to become
the tympanist in a symphony orchestra
might be taught to drum on the win
dow pane on rainy days: he should be
fed on drumsticks; he is to be encour-
aged to practice the reveille and the
cataplan with his knife and fork on the
edge of the table. Hereafter judicious
parents will not throw away empty to-
mato cans. for. given stout bit OF
twine and a piece Of rosin. their noise
making possibilities are almost infinite.
BY sliding downstairs children will cul-
uvate q faculty that will prove useful
In the manipulation Of the slide from
bone. and the use Of the shoehorn will
suggest the French horn and the Eng
fish horn subsequently.
