youngsters. Very pretty little TALES In

they may be whipped up at home in ODD
moments. The two children who win the
most jackstraws at each table progress
leaving the unsuccessful two to try again
while the boy and girl who win most
stars in the completed round receive
picture books as prizes. The second
prizes could be boxes Of jackstraws cost
ing or 10 cents apiece.
Next on the program have jackstraw
hunt. This is conducted like a peanut
search, the children seeking all around
are tucked away in odd corners every
where. Each uncolored straw counts
one point while the colored ones count
five points each. The colored straws
are, however. much scarcer and harder
to find in comparison.
Each child receives an inexpensive little
basket. having the handles tied with rib
bon. Or if these are not quite SO readily
obtainable, make charming bags Of pale
pink or blue silesia or of pale colored
crepe paper daintily fringed. The prizes
might be boxes of bonbons. with covers
the color Of the lucky jackstraws.
There will be time for vet another
merry round efore the supper is an
nounced, and for this I would suggest one
called Passing the Jackstraw.'' 1t is
all that is most exciting and funny.
The players are divided up into two
bands and chairs are arranged for the
two bands facing each other. At one
end of each line is placed basket or
plate of jackstraws and at the opposite
end a receptacle of the same kind, but
empty.
To begin the fun the person who sits
next to the full basket must dip out a
jackstraw with one hand. change it tC
his other hand. and then pass it on to the
person who sits next to him. This person
also changes the straw from one hand to
another and passes it on. Meanwhile
the person seated next to the basket has
dipped up another straw, which he or she
hands to his neighbor i'm the same way
In the same fashion all the straws arc
passed along from the full basket to the
empty one. The object is to pass all the
straws on ones side before the oppo
nents can empty their basket. and it is
the scramble that this causes that makes
the game SO full of laughter. When al
the straws have been placed in the empt,
basket they must then be passed back
again. going through the same routine

A charming new plan for celebrating
a birthday or any other nursery festival
is a tackstraw party, which in addition
to the fun which the little folk are sure
to find in it is easy and inexpensive for
their elders.
Let the small person in whose honor 1t
will be given write the invitations, which
can be extremely novel. For instance,
each note may be written on straw-col-
ored note paper, or it may be tied after
being folded with a colored raffia straw,
which will suggest the name of the mer-
rymaking. The wording might be in the
following form:
Dear Ralph and Bessy. I hope you can
both be present at party at our house
next Thursday from 4 till Z. JackStraW
and all his family will be here 7 am
sure you will enjoy meeting him and VIII
find him Jolly good fun Trusting that
nothing will prevent your coming on that

For the first frolic of the afternoon
program have progressive jackstraws.
This requires a small card table for each

the guests arrive.
The game is the same at each table-the
good old jackstraw contest, which every
child knows and which does not require
any tedious explanations before the party
can begin, as new one might. However.
while the game is the same, there is a
new twist given to it which brings 1t up
to date and makes it seem quite new.
There is the new plan. Dedicate each
table to certain color and have deep
frrII of tissue paper or of pleated cheese
cloth surrounding the table top to make
it festive.
On each table have the contents of a
box of jackstraws and four Of the little
hooks used in separating the straWs, one
hook for each player. Now at the table
decorated I'm blue have a half dozen OF
tie straws colored pale blue mixed In
with the other uncolored ones. Each OF
these counts Ave points for the person
hooking it successfully, while the uncol-
Ored ones count but one point apiece
At the pale pink table have few
straws colored pink and let these out

At the green tables have few green ones
and so on throughout all the colors you
wish to have. The coloring can be done

Smells in the Chafing Dish.
