Romping With the Young Folks
H STORY GAME.
A New Year Diversion For the Chill
dren's Party.

A New Year Diversion For the Chill
dren's Party.
Here is a good game for the New
Years party.
This game is played by all sitting In
n circle while one of the number tells
a story. After Il few words or a SEN
tence he makes a pause, when his
neighbor on the right u repeat the
sentence to his right hand neighbor,
who passes 1t to the next until 1t has
gone quickly around the circle to the
%relator, who proceeds with the next
words Of his story, and so on, each
sentence a he speaks 1t being caught
up and repeated from one to another
till II comes back TO him. The story
always ends with the words 'the last
one up must pay" when every one
must spring from his seat. Any one
who fails to rise at the proper moment
must pay a forfeit. The game will be
more easily understood from the fol-
lowing example:
The story teller says to his right
hand neighbor, Here is an engraving
at this pause. and those following,
the neighbor must repeat the words to
her neighbor and she to the next until
1t comes around to the r~elator, who re-
sumes, (which represents a young lady
arrested by three robbers-the first
detains her-the second wishes to stab
her-but the third. seeing the police
coming, cries. The last n up must
payr"
At this cry all the company rise. ex-
cept those who forget or do not know
the game, and these must pay a for
felt, as also must those who fail to re-
peat the interrupted sentences cor
'rectly.

Still Maintains an Important Place In
the Decoration Of Winter Millinery.
Fur holds one Of the most important
places in millinery trimmings and Is
employed In countless attractive ways,
says the Millinery Trade Review.
Monkey fur has been and still is fea-
tured as a leading novelty. aigret and
fringe effects being developed of this
fur. Skunk, seal and mole form
mounts about seven inches high and
three inches wide in quill effect. Tiny
turbans developed Of fur of the short
haired variety are gaining in favor,
and 1t is safe to say that. with the ad-
vent of cold weather, these hats will
come into their own. The popularity
OF fancy sets developed of fur and
velvet and consisting Of hat, muff and
neckpiece. has gone a great way to-
ward keeping workrooms busy as well
as stimulating the fur trade, since
these sets are made and designed In
all workrooms.

MAKING Smoke Rinqs.

All that is required to produce this
effect is an empty cigar box. one of the
ends of which being removed is re-
placed by canvas tightly nailed around
it. A circular hole about one inch in
diameter is bored in the opposite end.
Inside the box is a saucer half filed
with carbonate of ammonia, upon
which sufficient h~ydrochloric acid Is
poured until a dense vapor of ammonia
chloride fills the box, which. upon
slight. rapid pressure upon the canvas
end of the box. is elected from the
hole and u beautiful circles of
white smoke, which ascend and retain
their shape till disslpated.

The Offended Bee.

A fairy sat in a buttercup
To rest for a little while.
Her weary wings were folded up
In quite the latest style.
The soft breeze rocked her tenderly
Until she fell asleep.
And by and by a hungry bee
Came near enough to peep.
He buzzed around the tiny sprite,
As cross as could be
To think a fairy should have slipped
His honey for her tea.
Out came his sting. but just in time
The fairy showed her head.
And when he saw her magic wand
The bee in terror fled.

NEW YEARS PARTY.
Simplicity In Entertaining Is the Rule

verdict OF prominent Possesses.
One OF the most pleasant ways to
convey the greetings of the New Year
season to friends is to issue invita-.
lions to "a New Years season. party.
1t would be clever to have invita-
tions suggestive of the nature of the
event. For instance. cut out the foun-
dalton in the shape of n small 1915
calendar for each person who is to be
asked, with the date on which the
party is to be held decorated" becom-
ingly.
Few preparations are necessary for
the occasion. as the Christmas greens
will be still in place and the sentiment
of the season carries its program of
fluctuations. etc, with 1t.
In the parlor have a punch bowl
wreathed with green, with the appro-
pirate glasses. ladle. etc.
Here is the recipe for a good punch
which is a very tasty beverage and
easy 10 concoct: Peel and slice thin a
pineapple which is really sweet; place
1t I'm the bottom of your bowl: slice
four lemons and four oranges, remov-
ing the seeds, and add these to the
pineapple, sprinkling very generously
with sugar. Allow these to stand IN
til just before they are needed; cover
the fruit with grape juice: then put a
large lump of ice in the bowl and dilute
the contents with plain or charged wa
ter to your taste.

TIPS FOR ~H0USEKEEPERS.

A three minute glass (the kind used
In the kitchen when cooking) will he
found an excellent timepiece when do
Ing long distance telephoning, as 1t al
lows three minutes only.
Vinegar placed in q bottle of dried
up glue will moisten and make It LIQUID
again.
Blankets which are not in use should
have small pieces of thoroughly dried
yellow soap scattered in the folds when
they are put away. This keeps moths
out.
Stale breadcrumbs mixed with a
trif1e OF washing blue can be used for
cleaning embossed velvet. A piece of
white flannel should be used for apply
Ing the b~readcrumbs, which will finally
require brushing off with a clean, soft
whisk.
To store silver place in a cardboard
box a layer Of ordinary flour, then lay
the forks and spoons upon 1t and cover
thickly with -four. They will remain
quite bright for any length Of time.
Always rub leather chairs over from
time to time with a very little fresh
milk applied with a soft. clean linen
rag. rubbing the milk off lightly at
once. This prevents the surface from
drying and cracking. Should the sur
lace be rubbed off apply a good leather
r~estorer.

MUMMERs OF PHILADELPHIA.
Children and Parents Masquerade and
Parade Every New Years.

New year customs may be dying out
In some parts of the country. and the
ubiquitous shooter be less and less
In evidence on the first day Of the year,
bu. in one city in the United States.
and that the most sedate city of all,
the celebration of the dawn of another
period of time is not losing any of its
uproarious characteristics. Philadel-
phians concentrate into t~wenty-four
hours the quiet preparation of twelve
months of time.
The robes worn are things of beauty
IL not joys forever. For months the
costumes are being prepared by a
corps of dressmakers. Designs are
guarded carefully, for the prizes are
awarded for novelty of costume as
well as for the general impressiveness
Of the ensemble.
As soon as the club that intends to
try for a first prize has agreed upon
a costume-and the best brains availa-
BILE are called upon to help In this
important part of the plan to win a
prize-the dressmakers are given the
immense job Of preparing the robes.
When it was remembered that the
train Of one of the kings who appear
In this unique parade usually is borne
by not less than thirty pages, that it
stretches from sidewalk to sidewalk
of the broadcast street In Philadelphia,
and ever extends behind the monarch
for about a third of a city block. 1t will
be seen that such q costume Is not pre-
pared i'm a day, or a week, or q month.
The enormous train usually is hand
embroidered over its entire surface
with brilliantly colored flowers. 1t is
made Of the best material that the
clubs New Year fund affords and is a
gorgeous sight on a fine day.

signs"
Rover wagged his tail in ~apprecia-
tive silence. He did not know that 1t
was 10 o'clock p. m. on the last day
Of the year and that the fates as read
by his masters friends had decreed
that Dudley Yates Mckee, bachelor.
should become a Benedict before the
New Year. Shortly after the present
year began the first dire prophecy was
made by reason of three plum stones
on McKee's plate. He thought moth
ing of this, but when several days
later an amateur card reader made a
similar prediction Mckee was mildly
amused at the coincidence, and when
within another month a friend who
affected palmistry drew the same au-
curry from McKee's palm the latter
began to ponder. At a spiritualistic
seance which he was cajoled into at
tending an alleged spirit again vol
unteered the information that Mckee
would marry within the current year,
and later a dabbler in ~astrology to
whom Mckee confided his growing
alarm consulted the stars and verified
the matter as a ~foreordained event in
his friends horoscope.
McKee's uneasiness grew apace. He
dismissed the idea of collision between
his friends and began to fight shy of
anything that threatened a possible
emotional ENHANCEMENT. Now, seated
in his bachelor quarters in slippers and
robe, he contemplated with triumphant
relief the fight Of time toward deliv-
erance from what he had come. to re-
gard as n pursuing destiny.
He toasted his feet comfortably on
the fender and surveyed retrospective
ly his thirty-two years of care free and
irresponsible existence, filed with many
of the lighter loves Of early youth and
the delightfully."- %innocuous firtations
of later manhood. Dudley Yates Nc
Kee was good to look upon, and his
pleasing exterior was a frank and un
disguised index 10 his inner self. Wom-
en- liked him thoroughly. and, unlike
most bachelors, he had remained single
purely from choice. There were mo.
ments when he would acknowledge to
himself that marriage had compensa-
lions. when life seemed a trifie empty,
but on the whole he enjoyed his free
dom and was content.
The grandfather's clock in the corner
struck n single chime to mark the half
hour, and Mckee. aroused from his
r~everie, was refilling his pipe when a
slight rustic in the adjoining room
startled him.
Rather early for burglars" he
thought as he picked up the poker and
arose to investigate. He pushed a but.
