THREE GOOD IDEAS FOR EVENING
ENTERTAINMENTS.

as II Ever Was-charades Easy to

Well Worth While.

At recent card party few OF the
grand danes present began talking OF
the pastimes OF their childhood and
one and all agreed that "Logomaehy"
had been not only enjoyable but most
instructive. So Immediately inquired

the crying needs OF the day. | dis
like to say so, but many OF my let
ters from school children, even OF
high school age. are often badly
spelled and badly written.
The regular "Legomachy" sets may
be obtained, and "Anagrams" may be
used. The cost is very small Home
made sets are quickly constructed by
taking letters from the top Of a daily
paper (as they are usually good-sized
lettersl. mount them on squares OF
cardboard or very thin wood. With
scroll saw, these are easily man
aged. Make about three dozen Of the
letters most commonly used, with a
few extra vowels; a half dozen each
OF %, x" and ~" will be enough.
To play the game, give each one
the same number of letters, the faces
turned downward on the table. Each
one in turn places a letter face up In
the center Of the table and II he can
form a word OF not less than three
letters from those collected, he takes
them. This may be done either before
or after the player has turned up the
letter. The one playing continues to
draw new letters as long as he can
add them to words already made by
himself or any other person. The one
who turns up the last letter is per
mltted about twenty seconds to claim
the word, after which any one may
take 1t by first naming 1t.
Any player may take from another
word, II by adding another letter he
can make a materially different word
from 1t.
A change OF verbs into their own
participles. or nouns to adverbs or ad-
jectives, is not counted. Proper nouns
