THREE SUGGESTIONS FOR ANUS
ING ENTERTAINMENTS.
winter Garden Party" viii Be Found
an Excellent Afternoon Pastime
Some Suitable objects for
an cart Party"

The children were clamoring for a
new game to play, just like you girls
land boys, tool write and ask me to
tell you something new to play at your
parties, and after q brain-rockine
time l accidentally found this, which
is carried out exactly like stage
coach" only the girls are all given
names OF flowers and the boys OF In
sects, bugs, etc.. like Nudge, Grub,
Moth. Spider, Wasp, Mosquito, Fly
Hornet, Ant, ETC., and q starter for
the girls would be Heliotrope, Violet
Mignonette, Pansy. Rose, Lily, Morn
lng-glory, Forget-me-not, etc.
The Butterfly" takes the place OF
the driver" in stage coach" and
tells the story; when sunshine" is
mentioned, all the flowers and insects
move around swiftly. When rain Is
mentioned, flowers throw up their
heads, insects scurry away from the
flowers. When the flowers are men,
toned by name, the flower is obliged
to answer by mentioning another flow
.er insect. When the gardener or a
garden tool is spoken Of, the flowers
bow their heads or bend their bodice,
The insects shrink away, and wander
around the room; when the butterfly
is making only general remarks, the
insects move around the flowers max
ing characteristic remarks about them
selves, or about the emblems of the
flowers in the garden. II q flower or
an insect fails TO respond when men
toned, a forfeit is demanded.
Objects for an cart Gallery"
Some time ago was requested to
give a list of objects suitable to use
in getting up a fake art gallery for
which a small admission could be
charged, as an addition to a bazaar,
where there were all sorts OF devices
to catch pennies. l think these sug-
gestions are good ones:

A German Coffee"
We have had afternoon teas for so
long that an invitation to German
coffee" was quite novelty, and this
is the season to give such an affair."
for the real German imported holiday
cakes are for sale In most of the large
bakeshops and grocery stores. These
cakes served with coffee are all that
is necessary in way Of refreshments.
of the German and Amer
lean flags with wee silk flags Ger
mani for favors, as the guests partake
of coffee, will be appropriate, and
short program of German songs would
be delightful. II the hours are late
in the afternoon and the men may be
expected to drop in, have eggnog, beer
or ale in stems. as 1t is still the holt
day season and will be, until after
Twelfth Night" on the sixth.
