MIsFIT ANSWERS.

L 1
For the many jolly gatherings of
Christmas week game or two may be
in order. Here is one that will help
the young folks have good time:
Let one of the party go out Of the
room and those remaining choose three
objects. to be called respectively No. l.
No. 9 and No. 3. These objects may be
either persons or things or combina-
ton OF both. Choice is not limited in
any way. When the player comes in
he is asked what he will do with No.
/. then with No. 2. and so on. If the
answers he gives are possible in con
nection with the object or person rep
resented by the numbers he passes and
another is sent out. If not. he must SO
out again.
Suppose. for instance. independence
hall is chosen for No. l. Roosevelt fol
No. 2 and the COW that jumped over
the moon for No. 3. If in answer tc
.'What will you do with No. ?" he re
plies. Il will paint it pea green" in
answer to No. 81 will send it a let
ter" and to No. 3. 81 will write poem
about it" he would pass. But If any
one answer had been an impossibility
as. for instance. If in answer to No.
he had said. Il will make honey out o.
it, he would have to try over again.
