Easter Fun.
A bunny party Is an inexpensive but
| very Jolly way of entertaining the boys
and girls home for the Easter vacation,
and program just prepared by q hostess
| who expects to entertain twenty-five little
friends of her own children. their ages
varying from six to sixteen, might be
interesting as well as timely to others
, who would like to do something of the
same kind.
The invitations were sent out upon
Easter cards displaying rabbit.
The first game is to be an egg hunt.
AS the guests arrive the girls will take a
colored candy egg from one basket and
the boys one from another basket. The
boy and girl choosing the same color be-
| come partners, and start out with a card
board egg to hunt eggs catching the
color they hold. These are hidden here,
there and everywhere, and the couple
finding the largest number are given
bunnies filled with candies.
| Then comes Feeding the Rabbit To
play this large gray rabbit is pasted
| to white sheet hung upon the wall,
and the players are given each a carrot
cut from orange color cambria, the stem
d bit of the same material in green. and,

| rabbit. The one who pins it nearest to
the bunny's mouth is, of course. the win
ner. This game always makes lots of
fun, especially for the younger guests.
| The carrot feeding is novel variation
of the game. So is chipping the lily for
older children. a huge pot of lilies
made from green and white tissue paper
is set up, and the fun is to clip off a
blossom while blindfolded. OF course
very few can do this. Most of the play
ers go very wide of the mark and cut air.
After this lively game comes a auieter
one called What's in it?' number OF
! cardboard egg boxes, say, six or eight
are numbered upon the outside Then
the guests are given paper and pencils
Next the hostess announces that each
! egg contains some trifie, naming them as
! button. spool of thread, thimble, screw
etc. The fun consists of trying to guess
| the contents correctly. person may
| write that number one contains the but
ton, while this article may be in egg
number five. The one guessing the larg-
est number correctly gets the prize, As
| no skill is required in this game al
! can take part in it
| The refreshments should be very simple
! The center piece could be excelsior sur

hold name cards in their paws Ice cream
could be in bunny form and individua
