Fun with Buttons.

But we don't know how to play
cards." walled the fourteen-year-old.
and we do want progressive party
with prizes and score cards." So
that is how this amusement came
about and as 1t was such grand sue
cess am going to tell my readers all
they did and how they did 1t.
There were sixteen guests. SO four
card tables were arranged with pile
of assorted buttons In the middle of
each. Cloth-covered buttons and
shank ones were barred. Partners
were chosen by matching four but
tons of o kind which were passed
on trays. This made Jolly prelimi-
nary time. A fifth button was sewed
to a corner of the table; thus the
four white agate buttons found their
table, the four shoe buttons and four
black buttons and the four smoked
pearls. On the table four needles
were placed mo. y threaded with a
stout white thread about eighteen In
ches long; longer than this will tan
BILE. 1t is a good plan to wax the
thread bit, too. When the bell rang,
the play began, threading buttons,
using one hand only; at the expira-
ton of the time, say four or five min
utes. the ring Of bell stops work and
the two having the most buttons to
their credit progress to the next table.
Before going the number is placed on
score card and the buttons replaced
In the center Of the table.
Very cute score cards may be made
by gluing bone buttons such as are
used on underwaists to the card, they
have only eyes and the nose, mouth,
hair and eyelashes are painted on.
Queer BODIES are drawn or painted
on the famous COOP" order and the
result is laughable in the extreme.
Here is another button stunt: Choose
partners by matching ribbons on
which button is sewed on the ends
Just for decoration. Then furnish
each couple with a small square of
cloth, six buttons, a needle and thirty
inches Of thread. The girl must hold
the needle for the boy to thread, then
she must hold the cloth for him while
he sews on the six buttons. The
couple who finish first win the prize.
Suggestions for prizes would be but
ton bag. gold collar buttons, collar
button box, and at the favor counter
candy boxes are obtainable in shape
Of spools Of thread or silk, also Thin
bles. They would make appropriate
souvenirs.

An After.pInnsr Trick.

This sounds very easy. but try It
and see. Boys will enjoy 1t, and / am
told even men are not averse to at
tempting what is apparently so simple.
Tell the victim that he is to brush n
coin out OF your hand. Proceed to lay
a quarter in the middle OF the palm
and hand him" whisk broom. The
motion used must be only brushing
one. no fair digging the coin out with
q corner Of the broom. Sometimes
as many as a dozen people viii try
to brush the quarter out and not one
will succeed.
