then pointing to the candle with the
hole nearest the top the first candle
went out. Of course you time your
first words. so that you say out just
before the fame reaches the hole.
As you reach the second point in your
tale the second candle goes out. and
SO on throughout the rest Of the six.
You may have the holes vary but a
fraction Of an inch in their distances
from the top Of the candle and tell
very short story, or you may have your
tale a long one, with the distances Of
the holes from the top to vary an inch
or SO. By first lighting one candle and
watching it burn for a few minutes you
can tell almost exactly how long the
flame will take to reach a given point.
If you do not have the candles SO out
in rotation, but skip around from the
first to the fifth, then to the second,
to the sixth, the fourth and third, you
can still further mystify your audience,
and if your story be well told the eff
feet will be very pretty indeed.

AN ANIMAL PARTY.

An animal party is an amusing game
for the holiday evening. You must
prepare a list of different animals,
writing each clearly on a line by itself
and numbering them according to the
number Of guests. You must also have
small slips Of paper numbered to cor
respond with the list of animals. These
slips must be folded so that the num-
bers do not show and put in bowl
To each person is given a large sheet
of brown wrapping paper and a colored
crayon pencil, and then the slips are
drawn. Each unfolds the slip drawn
and refers to the list Of animals, which
should be pinned up in a conspicuous
place, for the corresponding number.
About ten minutes are allowed for the
drawings, when they are passed in, on
each drawing being the number, but no
name. The drawings are then pinned
up, and judgment is passed. Every
one casts a vote. The number of the
one who gains most is then called out,
and the person whose slip corresponds
to that number receives a prize. Such
an entertainment WI furnish much
fun if ingenuity is displayed in prepar-
ing the list Of animals, which should
include some that are out of the Ordi-
nary line and unfamiliar.

CHRISTMAS CHARADES.

Charades, though an old time amuse-
ment, are a never failing source of
merriment, perhaps because dressing
up appeals to old and young alike. A
variation of eminently mirth provoking
potentialities may be introduced by en-
acting a Christmas dinner in charade
form as follows:
Soup: Tomato (Tow-ma-tow).
Meat: Turkey CTurl1 lley).
Giblet gravy, (Jib-let Gray VI.
Vegetables: Potato (Pot-eight-O.
Caulif1ower: CALL Flower.
Jelly: Currant (Cur-ranD.
Dessert: Plum Pudding CPlumb).
Beverage: Coffee (Cough-fee).
Of course merely the syllables will
be acted, not the entire word Or in.
stead of acting tie syllables separate
" the entire word may be acted in one
scene. For example, Tomato may be
easily rendered by pulling a toy along
the floor by a rope, or physicians

suitable for young folks, and their ell

leader gives to each a slip of paper. on
which he or she writes the word Civ

cording to the idea of the writer.
Each player in turn has the right TO
give word that has some connection
with the Yuletide festival, and all these
words are written down before the
definitions are written. The object is
to allow each one liberty in defining
a word to be epigrammatic, poetical.
ideal or imaginative.
In one game the word wind" was
defined as crude boreas-b clustering

There is no limit to the wise and

a vase and the best reader is chosen
to read them. The best ones entitle

A STOCKING CONTEST.

For this contest make as many small
stockings of net as there are children
to play. Then cut from magazines and
advertisements pictures Of articles suit
able for a Christmas stocking, such as
books, games. toys, etc. Mount these
on thin cardboard and then cut into
irregular pieces for picture puzzles.
Place each puzzle separately in q small
red envelope or tissue paper and fill the
stockings, avoiding duplication. When
ready give each a stocking, the object
being to find it's contents by putting the
puzzles together one after the other. A
prize should be awarded to the one
who first solves all the picture puzzles,
and this prize may be one of the filed
stockings. They can easily be filled at
home for % cents each. The same
contest may be given for older chill
dren by using anagrams instead Of the
picture puzzles, and these will be found
less troublesome to prepare. If desired
Christmas boxes may be used instead
of the stockings. Place the puzzles or
anagrams in small boxes, packing in
with cotton as if fragile, and tie up
and mark the boxes as if they had
come by express or mail.

Nut Race Is Fun.

A nut race provides plenty of excite
ment for young and old. Place a bowl
of nuts at one end of the room and an
empty bowl at the other. Each con-
testant, holding the hand fiat, with
fingers close together and extended,
dips it into the bowl, getting as many
nuts as possible on the back of the
hand. These must be carried across
tho room and dropped into the other
bowl The victory is not always to the
large handed, and the game is a great
revealer of steady nerves.

PARLOR MAGIC.
A Clever Candle Trick That Will
Amuse the Youngsters.


Amuse the Youngsters.
Here is a parlor magic trick which
never fails to capture an audience and
which, at the same time, is so simple
that any one can Go it. You need six
or more candles and as many candle
sticks, or you can get along without
the candlesticks by holding a lighted
match to the bottom Of each of the
candles. and then, when it has softened
ever so slightly, setting the candle
firmly in saucer The wax or tall0w
will harden in a moment, holding the
candle erect in its place.
Make a hole in one side of each can
die, cutting clear through until the
wick is severed. These holes must be
at various distances from the top-dif-
ferent in each candle.
Now, if you should light one Of these
candles it would. burn steadily until
the fame got down to the hole, when
the cut ia the wick would cause the
candle to go out. If you should light
them all. together they would go out at
different times, as the holes are at diff
ferent places. This is where your
trick comes in.
Place your candles in a row on a
table with the holes away from your
audience and then light all six. Now
you begin to relate story about q
little girl who was alone in the house
and was afraid of the dark, and who
lighted six candles to keep up her cour'
age. She heard queer noises about the
house. and drew close to the light and
