CHRISTMAS SNOWBALLS.

Snowballs 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 Il
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 snowballs as there are guests
at the party.
Two baskets-just ordinary marke ct
baskets may be used if the handles are
wound with ribbon and tied with u
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 a line stretching from the
baskets to the end Of the room, an
equal number in each line and an
equal distance apart.
\ child stands by each chair and
at 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. II one is torn it counts as a
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 al have had chance to play
counts as tie winning side.
ut the end Of the game the SNOW
balls are distributed and the children
open them. discovering the treasures
wrapped up inside.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

An amusing Christmas game is ques-
tions 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 ut the head
Of one line and one at the foot of the
other. One whispers to each one in
his line Il 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

SANTA CLAUS GIFTS.

Have Il large sack (about the size Of
laundry bag filled with inexpensive
toys. Each boy or girl is allowed to
plunge his or her hand into the bag
(Which is pulled together ut the top
with drawing string) and to keep it
there for Il minute. feeling as many as
possible of the toys contained in it.
Paper and pencils are then distrib-
uted, and each must write down the
names of all the toys he thought he
recognized in the bag
Those having the best sets Of an
SWers receive the toys as prizes.
OF course the bag is opened and the
contents spread out in order that all
may see just what is there.
This is not game for the very little
tots. but any school boy or girl can
play it.
The point which puts it beyond the
very little folks is the fact that the
names have to be spelled out

ROYAL COURT.

This game of royal court will afford
amusement for the children ut Christ
mas.
Arrange two rows of chairs back to
back and seat the children.
AT each end of the double row place
a table on which is a cardboard box
containing one pack of cards. Two
children in turn are selected from
among those seated.
They go, one to each table, and when
the signal is given race in opposite di-
rectiOns round the chairs till they re-
turn to their original starting point at
the tables The cards are hastily
placed in the box, and hurried search
is made by each of the two children
for picture cards.
The four kings, queens and knaves
must. when collected, be deposited on
a tray that has been placed in another
part of the room as winning post.
The first to accomplish this wins. The
successful competitor returns to his
seat: the loser vacates his and is then
out of the competition.
The last two to remain in the game
, are proclaimed king and queen Of
Christmas and receive prizes, while the
third is Jack the knave. He gains a
funny booby prize. 1t is amusing to
dress the royal pair in regal robes.
crown them and present scepters.
They may march at the head of the
guests and sit together on draped and
Gilucu thrones.

gold paper may be prepared for king
and queen. A very grand scepter may

Then the one with the cane points to a
spot and says, WAS this the one:"

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

IVY AND HOLLY.

Very little people will enjoy rimed
pastime called ivy and holly.
Chairs are arranged in two rows. and
the children sit facing each other. One
youn"Stcr begins with some adventure,
as "Holy and Ivy went out to II party"
The child sitting opposite must com
plcte the rime with another couplet.
for instance. "Holly and Ivy came back
hale and hearty"
Indeed, there is no reason why the
pastime should be entirely relegated to
the kindergarten. On account of the
rapility with which the rimes must
be thought up the older boys and girls
will find it amusing too.
For Il pretty search game which
young children as well as the school
going boys and girls would enjoy ut
Christmas parties. cut several hundred
little holly leaves from green tinted
paper and hide them in the festive
rooms.
At Il given signal the young people
scamper off in search Of these sym
bols Of the season. The youngster find
ing the greatest number of them in the
ten minutes allowed for the search
should receive some inexpensive prize

HOLLY FOR SANTA.

A frolic ON the order of the ever pop
ular donkey game is always in order
for Yulctide gathering of young folks.
Vary the picture little to suit the oc-
casion and offer a prize to add zest to
the struggle. If the shops are not at
hand to offer inspiration for the new
version Of this contest, any one with
some little artistic skill can draw
picture OF Santa Claus on a square Of
muslin and color with tinted chalks.
The youngsters are blindfolded one
Dy one and are sent to pin spray OF
the one who comes nearest to accom-
plishing this feat who wins the prize.
Il copy Of some popular juvenile story.
The children who stick their holly
sprays farthest away from the mark
may be condemned to perform some
funny stunts. For instance. they may
draw imaginary reindeer in the air
with the index finger in the presence
of the rest Of the company.
An amusing Christmas trick is to
make Il small star upon the wall with
piece of white chalk. One by one
the players kneel upon the floor at
distance of about two feet from the
wall and with arms folded behind the
back bend forward and try to kiss the
mark. With tall player the distance

HITTING THE CORK.

\ diversion for the Christmas gam
Dol is gained by placing cork on Il
chair ut the height of four or five feet
from the floor. The player then APP
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 a blow of his foretinger.
The result is usually disappointing to
the player. but most gratifying and
laugh provoking to the remainder of
the company.

CARD MATCHING.

Cut in halves a dozen Christmas cards
(this number is for twenty-four play
ers). Mix the halves thoroughly in a
basket and let each player take one.
Until a signal bell rings every one re-
tains his seat, simply holding his half
card in readiness. When the bell is
sounded. however. each player jumps
up and runs about looking for the boy
or girl who holds the half matching
the one in hand.
The two players first to match
halves correctly and bring the card so
completed to the older person in
charge of the frolic win a prize. The
scampering and excitement which fol-
low the signal bell are more easily i'm
agined than described in this jolly
Christmas game.

NOVELTIES IN THE SHOPS.
With Wide Array to Choose From Gift
Selection Is EASY.

In novelties there are the pendants
in jade. quartz, malachite and lapiz.
Though to be had in the real stones at
great cost, these manufactured semi
precious stones call for IN experts skill
to be DISTINGUISHED from the real.
Other pretty novelties are the rhine
stone drops worn on exceedingly thin
gold chains: likewise the delicate flow
erS. such us pansies, violets, etc. deli
cately enameled on silver. Some OF
these are made so they can be worn
either as brooches or pendants.
Garnets and jets are among the old
fashioned stones once again popular.
Garnets make pretty color pins when
set in the long thin bars. In brooches
they are set as four leaf clovers and
roses.
The jet pins are also worn with the
large pieces cut oval and oblong or set
in flowers and many geometrical de-
signs, such as stars, crosses. etc.

ballad Of the popcorn man Of
fers opportunities for huge en-

Oh. don't YOU know the popcorn man?
Oh. don't YOU know the popcorn man.
Oh. don't you know the popcorn man
Who lives in poor mans lane?
The leader and every player must
maintain II sober face throughout the

The next player, thus questioned in
song, must stare the leader in the face
and sing in serious manner this reply
Oh. yes. l know the popcorn mani

Oh, Yes. know the popcorn man
Who lives in poor mans lane!
When he has concluded this stanZa
he turns to his left hand neighbor and
interrogates him:
Oh. don't you know the popcorn man?
Oh don't YOU know the popcorn man?
Oh. don't YOU know the popcorn man
Who lives in poor mans lane?
The fun continues in this way until

whole company joins in singing the
following chorus:
We all we'll know the popcorn man.
We all we'll know the popcorn man.
We all we'll know the popcorn man

coin is a jolly one \ coin is placed
on the table, and a request is made
for the coin to be handed to you in a
persons hand. They are not to re-
move the coin from the table by us
ing hands, feet or picking it up with
the mouth. Now. this seems a puz-
zle. but is as simple as b c. All
the person has to do is to place his
mouth within a short distance of the
coin and. giving strong blow with
his breath. directing it at the coin at
about an angle Of forty-1ve degrees.

suggestions for games and tricks so vel

young folks meet together at numer-
GUS gatherings.

with the lips is no easy matter. and
the attempting of this feat will cause
a great deal Of fun. The toes and

Get IL big pile of illustrated Christ
mas magazines and picture papers and
give each child blunt pointed pair
of scissors. II large sheet of newspaper
or brown paper and Il pot of paste or Il
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 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
sheet, and the children will be quiet.
ly 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.
