Nose and Goggles


A family of fun loving boys and
ty. 1t was called a nose and google
party and helped a number of young
people to pass Christmas evening
very merrily without much expendi-
ture of energy and thought in the mat
ter of a disguise.
Each guest wore a false nose and
goggles. The noses were purchased or
made by clever fingers of heavy card
board covered with channels 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 it.
The cards had on one side a number
by which each guest was known; on
the other side list of figures-1, 2, 8,
etc. (as many figures as there were
guests)-with a space opposite each fig
ure for a name.
In the social conversation which fol-
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 We're 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,
ii some one thought he knew No. be
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, Il jolly evening.
