Hardly. A simple repast sery-

Game Of Elamsnts.

After two captains have been chosen
they proceed to select their parties
choosing alternately till the company Is
equally divided. They seat themselves
In two rows facing each other. One
of the captains begins the game by
throwing a bali or knotted handker-
chief to one of the players on the OPP
posite side. crying aloud at the same
time either "earth," air "fre" or
water" He usually tries TO throw II
to one who is apparently least expect
ing It. IL "air' is the word called the
person in whose lap or nearest whom
the missile falls must promptly name
some bird; if water" a fish or some
denizen of the water; If earth" an
animal-before the thrower counts ten
but at the word fire" no reply must
be made.
If the player answers correctly he
then throws the ball or handkerchief in
his turn to one of his opponents, but if
he fails to answer in time OF replies
incorrectly or speaks when it is not
his place TO answer he drops out of the
game. This rule is strict. for thus is
the winning side determined. the game
going on till all on one SIDE have had
10 retire from the contest.
