Games for an Outdoor Party

Lear MISS doom.
VIII you kindly publish a few
games suitable to be played at a
lawn party, and also a. few to be
quire pencil and paper. The games
are to be played by boys and girls
about eighteen years old.
ALSO, will you kindly give me a
recipe for preserving ounces? and
obhge, PAUL s.
Decorate the house with wild
flowers. There are plenty in the
fields. Lanterns on the porch will
make an attraction. Set a small
table on the porch also with a large
bowl filled with lemonade for your
guests to enjoy. If you have no
porch of course the table should be
placed in the hall Make each room
a separate color as, for instance,
have red in the dining room, gold
en- rod In the parlor and a large
Jardinier of wild carrot in the hall.
For a picturesque outdoor game
fashion from tissue paper large
flowers, each of which contains at
the centre some trifling gift. Some
of the gifts are for men and take
the form of wee match boxes, sill
Yer pencils or scarfpins. Others In
handkerchiefs and candy boxes are
intended for the girls. The femln-
Inc trifies are tucked away In yell
low flowers, those for the men in
red ones. The blossoms are then
tied to bushes, vines or the lower
limbs of trees in all parts of the
garden. When the search Is an
nounced each couple undertakes it
together. The yellow flowers be-
long to the woman of any pair
finding them, the red ones to the
man.
The guessing game of ut" will
amuse any party, but you must
first find out adroitly that there is
at least one person in the company
who has never been initiated into
It's mysteries. This one is chosen to
leave the room, but before he goes
he must be tod that those In the
room Will select an object which he
is to guess on his return. He may
ask as many questions as he wishes.
When the time comes, one question
at time, of each person consecu-
lively, but his questions must be so
worded that they may be answered
by yes" mo" or "I do not know"
When all this has been explained
the guesser leaves the room The
leader then arranges the party in a
circle, sitting, alternating a boy and
a girl, If possible, and explain that
each person must think of the one
sitting on his left as the object
chosen, and answer all questions as
If they applied to that person, You
may imagine that the conflicting
answers arising from such an ar
rangement will confuse the ques-
toner, and much fun will he de-
rived by those in the secret For
instance. the questioner may ask Of
No. l, who is girl, "TIas 1t life?"
No. ] answer Yes He then asks
No. who is a boy, as it pretty?"
and No. 2, Very naturally, answers
Yes" for he is speaking of the
girl at his left Then No. 3, who is
a girl, rs 1t girl?" and No. 3. who
is thinking of the boy on the left,
answers mo" All this throws the
questioner off the track-it has life,
1t Is pretty but it Is not girl. So
he naturally asks No. 4. who is a
boy, rs it a boy?" and No. an
swers mo" The questions wilt

FLOODS RAGING IN ARIZONA
Three Persons Lose Lives, Live Stock
BY Hundreds Drowned and
Houses Wrecked

Tucson. Ariz., Dec. 26--Floods. the
result of a week of practically un-
broken rainfall, have inflicted severe
damage upon nearly the entire area
of the state lying between Phoenix
and the Mexican border. Three per-
sons have lost their lives; live stock
by hundreds have been drowned; ranch
houses and city residences wrecked
or washed away by torrents roaring
through what usually are dry canyons,
and traffic by rail, highway and wire
either has been badly crippled or com
pletely suspended.
The most serious damage seems to
have been suffered in that part Of San
ia Cruz valley lying 80 miles south of
here. The Santa Cruz river attained a
width Of more than mile and a half
and the crest of the food, after sweep
ing through Amado ami the farming
region about, reached Tucson, sweep
ing away bridges and houses and
threatening to work further destruc-
ton.
