Some jolly Games For !
The Merry Yule Party !

nor new and jolly game which
4 costs nothing to get up fill a good
sized basket with words cut from
newspaper headlines. Each word
should be cut out in a small square.
Players sit around a large table and
each receives a square Of pasteboard
or a sheet of heavy paper. In the
middle of the board is placed the bas-
ket filed with words. There should
be couple Of bottles of paste or much
lage besides.
Each player In turn is given hat
pin which he plunges into the basket.
All words brought up on the hatpin
belong to the person jabbing. When
each player has jabbed six times In
turn the pins are laid aside and the
point now becomes to see who can
form the cleverest Christmas tele-
grams from the words jabbed up. Al
low fifteen minutes for working out
these phrases. Tho entertainer or some
one who does not enter into the game
decides which is cleverest. Give
book of witty sayings as prize In
this round.
A lively blindfold contest results
when guests are required to tie bun
dies on a Christmas tree blindfolded.
The Christmas tree may be a very
small one arranged in a bucket on the
table II no trimmed tree is at hand.
OF course the blind men start from
point as far from the tree as possible.
Each bundle has Ell small box Of bon
bons or even a popcorn ball half tucked
away at its heart. The bonbons be-
long to the player who is successful In
tying the package to the tree.
A toy race is always jolly too. This
is where wheel toys are pushed over
certain course with umbrellas or where
mechanical toys are wound up and sent
trundling across the room at given
signal The person first to push his
wheel or toy over the course is winner,
and the mechanical toy which outdis-
tances its fellows also wins for its
OWueI prize. ANY tOy WulCu oFci-
turns in the race is barred from hon
ors.
Now, let all gather around the table
and distribute squares of paper or
pasteboard black on one side and white
on another, with pencils and scissors.
Ten minutes are allowed In which all
draw portraits (heads) of Santa Claus
on the white side of the paper or board.
Allow as much more time as is neces-
sary for each to cut out the portrait
he or she has been drawing.
Each player then signs the silhouette
with his initials, and the various out
line portraits thus formed are tackled
up black side out on something white,
such as square of muslin or sheet
Of white paper, where they will show
to best advantage. Some one, who
does not enter the game, Is then called
on to say which is the cleverest, and
the guest whose work this judge pre-
fers wins q prize. A candy box rep
resenting the Christmas saint makes a
good choice In prizes.

Electricity

II IL only recently that electricity De-
gan to play conspicuous part In the
Christmas holiday. OF all the electric
tovs the little trolley car is one OF the
best, 1t gets its power from the light

track quite well, as well as its big
cousin runs in the city streets. Toy
motors and generators to run toy ma

bows. For girls modern doll houses are
Illuminated with tiny electric lamps.
This year Santa Claus will have In
his pack a new toy for little girls

bokes perfectly, the very thing FOR
which little girls have longed with all
their hearts. 1t is safe plaything Tor

! 10y Party" Is Lots ?
! of Fun at Christmas ;

GONE thirty boys and girls in less
- than half that many homes were
in a futter of excitement just be-
fore Christmas. Little girls asked to
go to see other little girls Just for a
few minutes" and boys gathered in
knots and with curious gestures, SEEM
ingly explanatory. discussed an appar-
emily important subject.
Sometimes the boys and girls would
meet, and one would hear What are
you going to be?' or I'm going as an
elephant"
Then some young wiseacre would
say, Really 1 do not think we ought
to tell each other" and another wise
acre would respond: why not? We
are going to wear our own faces, and,
as everybody will know everybody
else, think 1t is much better to tell
each other, cause then there will not
be SO many Of one kind"
Now, this was a very sage and phil
osophical conclusion, as it afterward
proved, because at the toy party that
occasioned all this animation there
were scarcely two toys alike to be
seen.
The invitations to the party had been
sent by a young lady-a pet friend or
every boy and girl asked-and she had
requested each small guest to appear
in the character of his or her favorite
toy She also suggested that, as girls
might not care for animals or manly
toys, each of them come dressed like
her own dearest doll and that the boys
appear as bears, dogs, wolves, ele-
plants, monkeys, goats, horses, lambs,
donkeys, ETC., or as firemen, policemen,
soldiers or sailors, like those seen on
toy engines, boats, etc. or else that
mechartcal figures like dancing Sam
hos, organ grinders, gymnasts, aero
bats, ETC., supply ideas for some of the
costumes. She said she preferred to
have them mostly animals, but would
leave the matter to them and their
mothers.
One thing, however, she must insist
upon-every boy and girl must be in
costume representing toy or a doll,
and any boy or girl coming in any 9TH
er costume would be sent home. OF
course this seemed rather arbitrary,
but the young hostess was simply en-
deavoring to make the party perfect
success, and to do this there must be
no strangers among the toys. Nam
mas very soon saw the point and right
heartily entered into the sport Of attir-
ing their young hopefuls for this par
dcular occasion.
1t was splendid success. OF course
the guests did not simply sit or stand
around and stare at one another. After
some pretty games and dance or
two refreshments were served in the
dining room. They consisted of sand
witches and cakes shaped like dolls and
animals; ice cream that was nodded
to represent fruit, vegetables. frogs,
comic figures and flowers, and lemon
ade and other drinks.

Nose and Goggles
sSESYsS HsS S "a IA Esia YsssEs

A family of fun loving boys and
girls gave an amusing Christmas par
ty. 1t was called nose and google
party and helped number of young
people to pass a Christmas evening
very merrily without much expendi-
ture of energy and thought in the mat
ter of a disguise.
Each guest wore q false nose and
goggles. The noses were purchased or
made by clever fingers of heavy card
board covered with chamois and were
not removed until after refreshments
were served.
AS the guests arrived each was given
a card perforated with ribbon run
through, In order to wear the card
around the neck, SO that every one
could see 1t.
The cards had on one side number
by which each guest was known; on
the other side list Of figures-1, 2, 3,
etc. las many figures as there were
guests)-with a space opposite each fig
ure for name.
In the social conversation which fol-
lowed each guest guessed who his or
her entertainer was. OF course with
intimate friends the familiar voice re-
vealed the personality, but in many
cases this was not easily done If they
attempted to disguise the voices, and
much merriment and many absurd
guesses were made.
As each guess was made the name
was placed opposite the number on the
card of the guesser corresponding to
the number of the person with whom
he or she was talking. For instance,
If some one thought he knew No. 4 he
turned his card and wrote the name
opposite No. 4, etc. 1t was voted by
all the gay people who were present as
no end of fun and a most original way
of spending jolly evening.

Indoor Fun For the Riddles

During the holiday school vacation
it is difficult to keep the youngsters
out of mischief and yet keep them
amused. This is especially true in the
evening, when they cannot play out
of doors. A suggested solution of the
problem may be found in the follow
ing games:
and a needle and thread. At signal
all begin stringing the corn. The one
stringing the most in given length
of time is awarded prize.
Give children pencils and paper and
then read a paragraph from a book
and have the children write them
down as you read them. When you
have finished have the children begin
at the last word they have taken down
and write the paragraph forward. The
youngster whose paragraph shows the
Fluctuations placed nearest to the way
they are printed in the book gets the
book as prize.
Place a row of plates on the floor
along one side of the room. Have q
plate for each child and let each plate
hold an orange, an apple and twenty
pieces Of candy. An equal number or
empty plates should be placed on the
opposite side of the room. Arm each
of the youngsters with teaspoon and
at a given signal let them transfer the
contents of the filed plates to the
empty plates. Only one object can be
carried at a time. and If it is dropped
the carrier must return 1t to the plate
and start over again. A prize may be
given to the contestant who fills his
llate first.

up, carried and dropped into the stock
ing with the wooden spoon. OF course
each player is given a certain stock
ing, which he or she labors to fill. re-
ceiving no assistance from any one
else. certain number Of apples, ac-
cording to size, is agreed on for each
stocking before the fun begins.
The player who is first of the six
to fill his or hers is winner of that par
ticular round and is entitled to draw
for the prize, the unsuccessful five be-
ing barred.
When six have raced another half
dozen take their places. and so on.
The game is screaming farce
throughout and cannot fail to be jolly.

Kitchen kumpany.b

To make a success of Kitchen kum-
pany," a jolly Christmas game, the
'kumpany" should consist of eight to
ten girls and boys who are all init
mately acquainted.
Have ready a large bowl of batter
for pancakes. Each boy is provided
with an apron and told to cook cake
His partner, a girl, may stand by and
instruct him, but she must not take
hand in the cooking at all.
The couple making the best cake re-
ceives prize. Then there can be can
dy making, such as chocolate or nut
fudge, and when all the cakes are
baked the kitchen table is set and the
guests eat the fruits of their labor.

CANES
AND SPORTS
Trying to Fill the Stocking

A LIVELY scramble game, fine for
~ Christmas time. is played by
stretching a clothesline across
the room and pinning heavy worsted
stockings to it with clothespins. A
basket of rosy apples is provided and
as many wooden spoons tied with holly
ribbon as there will be players con-
testing at once. Six is a good number,
for the ordinary sized living room will
hardly accommodate more than half
dozen lively contestants at one time.
The object is to see which of the six
can soonest fill his or her stocking with
the apples, which have to be dipped

Christmas Game
For Very Little Ones
- "a "a "a ~ 81: "a "a ggsSM

Little Jacky Bingo," often played
at Christmas parties, is very simple
game and seems rather pointless to the
onlookers. but little children love 1t.
The players form a ring, with one
left out to be Little Jacky Bingo.
Jacky walks round outside the ring
The players call out:
'Who is that walking round my
stony WALTZ"
Jacky answers, "Only Little JaGky
Bingo"
The players: Don't you steal one of
my fat pigs!"
Jacky: 81 stole one last night, and
I'll steal another tonight; so come
along"
Then Jacky touches some ole in the
ring, who has to fall out and walk be-
hind him. So the game goes on. the
players falling in one behind another
till at last Jacky has them all.

Hunting the Supper.

In this game the table is set and the
guests are asked to sit down to it.
though not sign of anything to eat is
visible. Then the hostess places the
end of cord in the hand Of each
guest, who is told to go and hunt for
his supper The cord is wound up I'M
til the other end is reached, when a
dish of something edible is revealed.
1t may be fruit. sandwiches, cake, can
dy or what not
All the dishes are brought to the Ia
BILE, when the supper begins. The
winding and unwinding of the twisted
cord make lots of fun.
