While New York city has not had
much snow this winter, there have
been several days when the hills In
Central park were covered with q
hard, icy crust that made coasting a
delight. You may he assured that the
young folks of the great city who live
anywhere neat that famous play
ground made the most Of the oppor-
tunity provided by old King Boreas.
Sad to relate. a fatal accident occur
red OH one Of the hills in the park. A
little boy in endeavoring to avoid an
other coaster slid into q tree and was
killed. Coasting is not a dangerous
sport. but children are often careless
at play. and when a hill is long and
icy It Is not well for very little folks
to attempt to coast alone. The acct
dent, Of course. was q great shock to
the boys %playmates. and perhaps most
of them needed the lesson it taught.
The girl in the picture is Miss Betty
Pierson. daughter of ]. F. Pierson. Jr.

When the young people are sitting
around after the evening dinner here
are some things to keep them busy:
Tell the culprit to grasp the right
ankle with the right hand while stand
ing on the left foot, bend it until the
right knee touches the floor. then slow
" rise to a standing position again.
Keep the left hand extended, touching
nothing. The right foot must not
touch the door nor the ankle be re-
leased from the right hand.
Put one hand where the other cannot
grasp it. Do this by grasping the
right elbow with the left hand.
Place an. object on the floor so no
one can jump over 1t. Do this by
placing the article in a corner.
Hold the foot in one hand and walk
around the room whistling yankee
Doodle"
Pose as Liberty Enlightening the
World"
Stick a pin in the center Of a bali of
yarn. allowing it to stand up so that
the victim can catch it with his teeth.

The Game Of Wink.
The boys Of the party are seated In
a circle of chairs. Of which n chair
remains vacant. A girl stands be-
hind each chair. her hands on its back.
| The girl behind the vacant chair Sc
Iects n boy and literally gives him
a wink" Thereupon he tries to get
| from his chair to hers. His partner.
however 1.-THE cir! standing behind
his chair,. must be quick enough to
intercept the wink and place her hands
on his shoulders to restrain him. II
she ia successful the girl behind the
empty chair must try again and un-
til she has secured a partner. Then.
Of course, there is another chair to he
filled in the same way.
1t is IL strict rule that the hands of
/ the girls must remain OF the backs
of the chairs except when restraining
a deserving partner. As all girls do
not wink with equal facility or grace
and no chance for practice is given.
you can count on roars Of laughter
from this very simple game.
