QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

An amusing Christmas game is ques-
tons and answers. which is played in
the following manner:
Arrange the players in two rows,
one on each side of the room Then
two must be chosen to make questions
and answers. One starts at the head
Of one line and one at the foot of the
other One whispers to each one in
his line question, and the other whis
pers to each in the other line an an
swer
After each one has been told what
to say let the one at the head of the
question line begin by asking his ques-
ton audibly of the head of the answer
line, and so on through the line.
OF course the one who gives the
question does not know what the an
swers will be, and sometimes they are
very funny.
Let some of the older players supply
the questions and answers. and then
they will not fail to make you all
laugh. This is an old game and one
that never fails to bring out lots of fun

FINDING THE SPOT.

There must be spotted carpet or
wall paper in the room where this
mystifying Christmas game is played,
For this game one must have con.
federate with whom to agree about
the sign that shall be used in ii e game.
One takes cane to point out the spots,
and then the confederate goes out Of
the room, AS soon as spot is agreed
upon the confederate is called back.
Then the one with the cane points to
spot and says, WAS this the one?"
"No'' "This?" mo" Possibly
this?' No" While you are asking
these questions you keep your hand
around the head of the cane. When
you point at the spot chosen you ex
tend one finger down the cane. The
confederate sees this and at once says.
Yes that is it,
After indicating by pointing two or
three times you can try another way.
Make an agreement with your confed-
crate that after three trials with the
finger you will say when you point at
the right spot, rs it this?'N but when
you do not point at the spot chosen
say some other word before such as
DO you think it is this-well, is it this
and is it this? By changing it every
three or four times no one who does
not know the game will catch you.
Making up nonsense rimes Is a game
that should not be forgotten by the
Christmas hostess. 1t may be played
in this way. One member of the par
ty writes line of so many syllables
at the top of half sheet of note paper,
folds it over so that it is not visible
and hands it on to the next player, tell
ing him the last word of the line, and
then he has to write line of similar
length and make it rhine, and so on
until the paper has passed round the
room, when it may be opened and read
out loud.

CHRISTMAS SNOWBALLS.

Snowbals are prepared by winding
little toys, or favOrs in strips Of cotton
batting so that the balls may be per-
fectly round. They are then wrapped
in white tissue paper, which is glued
on.
Over the outside of the SNOWFALL
thin coating of mucilage is applied
with frost powder sifted on. This
makes the ball look as if it were really
made of snow. There should be as
many snowbaIls as there are guests
at the party.
Two baskets-just ordinary market
baskets may be used if the handles are
wound with ribbon and tied with
big red bow at the top-are provided
to hold the snowballs and are placed
in two chairs at one end of the room.
The snowballs are then dropped on the
carpet in line stretching from the
baskets to the end of the room. an
equal number in each line and an
equal distance apart.
A child stands by each chair and
at a given signal runs for the farthest
snowballs, bringing them back and
dropping them in the basket. All the
snowballs are collected in this way.
and the child who first fills his basket
wins the game. No SNOWFALL must be
broken. If one is torn it counts as Il
foul in the game.
The children may be divided for this
game into two divisions, and the side
which has the most successful players
after all have had chance to play
counts as the winning side.
At the end Of the game the snow
balls are distributed and the children
open them. discovering the treasures
wrapped up inside.

PICKING UP SWEETS.

At no time in the. whole year are
suggestions for games and tricks so wei,
come as at Christmas. when the long
dark evenings are with us and when
young folks meet together at numer

Picking up candies from the floor
with the lips is no easy matter. and
the attempting of this feat will cause
a great deal Of fun. The toes and
right hand only must touch the floor.
and the left arm must be folded be-

account touch the floor.

HITTING THE. CORK.

A diversion for the Christmas gam
Dol is gained by placing cork OH a
chair at the height Of four or FIVE feel
from the floor. The player then ap-
proaches the cork and places his fore
finger by it in careful determination Of
the height He must then walk back
ward across the room. pause. close one
eye and once more approach the cork.
This time he will endeavor to knock
the cork off by blow of his forefinger
The result is usually disappointing to
the player. but most gratifying and
laugh provoking to the remainder of
the company.

"NHE children will want some
new game to play after Christ
Ell mas supper is over. They will
all enjoy the cut-out family
game, which is played in the following
manner:
Get a big pile of illustrated Christ
mas magazines and picture papers and
give each child blunt pointed pair
of scissors, large sheet of newspaper
or brown paper and pot of paste or a
packet of pins.
Then read or tell them some simple
little Christmas tale-not fairy story,
but an ordinary. everyday tale Of boys
and girls and their fathers and moth
ers. AS you go along stop from time
to time and let the children hunt
through the illustrated journals for pic
lures to suit the occasion.
Perhaps you will begin the game in
this way:
"Once upon a time there was little
girl called Susie. She was seven years
old, and she had long, curly hair Now
look through your books and find pic
ture of Susie"
Then the children will spend five
happy minutes in finding Susie, cutting
her out and fastening her at the top
of the blank sheet. AS the tale con-
tinues the sheet will become full Of
portraits of the different people whom
Susie met.
1t will take an hour or more to fill
a sheet, and the children will be quiet
~ and happily occupied all the time.
Mothers are enthusiastic over these
quiet games which hold the children's
attention, and the youngsters like
them too.

BLAMES HOME LIFE
FOR FALL OF GIRLS

More girls go wrong because Of
home conditions than for any other
reason, asserted Miss Margaret f..
Luther, superintendent of the Flor
ence Crittenten Home, New York
City, in an address before the Inter
national Purity Congress at Kansas
City. Miss Luther who spoke on THE
Girls Who Go Through the New York
Courts" pointed out that most of the
girls with whom the courts have to
deal are not more than Is years old,
and have fallen before they reach the
discretion of maturity.
Statistics show that the larger
number of girls who go wrong are
not alone in the world" she said.
Nor are they all wage earners; girls
come to us from all stations and all
conditions Of life. In most cases the
minds are polluted in early childhood.
Home conditions are responsible. out

Stories of locked doors and barred
windows in connection with white
slavery are largely imaginary, accord

KEEP YOUR TEMPER

DR.. j. Strickland Goodall, in re-
cent address before the Institute of
Hygiene illustrated the enormous
power of the human heart in a strik
ing way. He told his hearers to take
hand, resting the elbow upon a table,
and raise and lower it from the level
of the elbow to the shoulder. This
is exactly the work done by the heart
at each beat. DO this about seventy
Of eighty times a minute and see how
long you can keep it up. The heart
keeps it up from before birth TO just
after death, perhaps seventy years. 1t
never takes a rest. 1t never sleeps.
At each contraction the heart does
enough work to lift 2-pound weight
one foot. The heart of a young and
healthy person is almost immune to
WEAKNESS or strain. But if its muscles
be weakened by the accumulation of
body poisons or by anaemia it is very
easily strained. The heart has been
known to break from the strain of
sudden emotion. Anger will increase
the work of the heart from 1872 to
224-foot pounds a minute. Therefore
as the Scientific American says, Keep
your temper is good physiological
advice"
Running to catch a train. running
upstairs or any sudden and unusual
exertion puts a great extra strain upon
the heart. The healthy heart of
youth is equal to such strains; not so
the heart that has been weakened by
disease, dissipation or old age. DR..
