breakfast without great suffering.

times day. taking it at the beginning

AN ANIMAL PARTY.

An animal party is an amusing game for the evening You must prepare a list of different animals. writing each clearly in line by itself and number them according to the number of guests. You must also have small slips of paper, numbered to correspond with the list of animals. These slips must be folded so that the numbers do not show and put in a bowl. To each person are given large sheet of brown wrapping paper and colorod 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 conspicuous place, for the corresponding number About ten minutes are allowed for the draw ings. when they are passed in. each drawing bearing the number. but no name. The drawings are then pinned up and the judgment is passed
 Every one casts vote, The number of the one who gains most is then call ed out. and the person whose slip cor responds to that number receives a prize. Such an entertainment will fur nish much fun if ingenuity is display ed in preparing the list of animals. which should include some that are out of the ordinary line and unfamil. lar If the number of guests is greater than the number of animals there ca n be duplicates. Prizes might also be offered for the funniest drawing.

 These scissors are miniature chick ems with eyes of ruby and the steel handles gilded The finger loops are left natural color for the sake of the contrast. and the whole affair is not more than five inches long.

KNIGHT OF THE WHISTLE.
More of a Trick Than a Game. but
 There's Lots of Fun In It.


 "The knight of the whistle" is the name by which most amusing game is known The game is really q trick. The victim of it is told that the game consists :n passing whistle around q circle of players who are seated, while one standing in the mid dle is required to find it by its sound as it Is blown from time to time. Who ever counts out' for the game must arrange that the player in the middle is some one who does not know the trick, which is played thus: The whis tie is fastened to one end of string about foot and q half long. at the other end of which is a bent pin. The pin is hooked into the clothes of the player in the middle of the ring, so that the whistle always hangs behind him It is blown by some one, and the seek CT turns quickly to find it, thus carry ing it in front of some one else. who blows it again.
 The victim of the trick is thus kept turning from side to side until he dis covers the deception. The pin can be hooked into his clothes without his no ticing it by making him kneel down and close his eyes and then. after go- ing through mock ceremony, declar- ing him knight of the whistle" and striking him on the back. While this is going on the whistle can be attached to him unobserved. The players should pretend to pass the whistle from one to another to heighten the illusion.

PARTIES FOR LITTLE GIRLS.
Delightful Afternoon May Be Enjoyed
 With Doll Show.

With Doll Show.
 For little girls especially there is a new doll show, and on this occasion any number may be invited to come and bring their dollies in their car riagcs Mother will have to arrange room or hall when this procession of little mothers is to take place. Then. when all have arrived. they may form in q line and wheel their coaches around and around from hall to living room and back if possible. A small re freshment table should be arranged where the dollies can make believe to partake Of goodies while the little guests are being served. Each doll should be awarded a prize for some particular beauty-one for the prettiest eyes, another for her lovely curls, a third for her new hat, and so on-so that none are omitted. and the prizes may be small packages of remnants for doll clothes, new sash ribbon and a few yards of lace for trimmings (since all little girls sew for their dolls and would be delighted with these spe- cial pieces).
 Where children are interested in some particular kind of handwork it will give them lot of pleasure to be invited for an afternoon to learn some thing new about it. This idea would be especially interesting to little girls. but some one at home would naturally have to be prepared to instruct them. The materials should be supplied. They will make the most dainty of souvenirs of a happy afternoon.
 The same plan may be carried out for an afternoon of doll dresSmaking. when the souvenirs may be new thim- bles or little sewing bags. In any event, the matter of new dresses does not have to be considered.
