Points All Auto Drivers and

Familiar With.

For the benefit and informa-
ton of owners and drivers of au.
tomobiles, and for those who may
later become owners of cars, as
we'll as for the benefit of the gen.
eral public, we publish the fol.
lowing rules of the road" taken
from the motor vehicle laws OF
the state of Idaho. 1t would be
we'll for all motorists and team
sters alike to commit these rules
to memory. The rules follow:
Sec. 27. Whenever a person
operating motor vehicle shall
meet on the public highway any
other person riding or driving a
horse or horses, or other draft
animals, or any other vehicle, the
person so operating such motor
vehicle shall reasonably turn the
same to the right so as to give
half of the travelled road, if prac-
ticable, and a fair and equal OPP
portunity to pass. to the other,
without interference; or, If they
are travelling in the same dlrec,

IA Toy Party Is Lots
! OF Fun at Christmas

GONE thirty boys and girls In Lea.
~ than half that many homes were
In flutter Of excitement Just be-
fore Christmas. Little girls asked 10
go to see other little girls ..just for 4
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 az an
elephant
Then some young wiseacre would
say. Really 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, I think 1t is much better to tell
each other. cause then there will not
be so many Of one kind"
Now, this was very sage and phil
osophical conclusion. as 1t 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 OF
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 ike
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 TINT
mechanical figures like dancing Sam.
Dos. 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-eyery boy and girl must be in a
costume representing toy or 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 a perfect
success. aud to do this there must be
no strangers among the toys, Mann
mas very soon saw the point and right
heartily entered Into the sport Of attir-
ing their young hopefuls for this par
dcular occasion. 5
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 q 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.

Games For Christmas Aft
eT'IlOOsl
- gss ~ ~ " ": " -: " " S

Games fill in nicely the time "be-
tween the dark and the daylight" on
Christmas afternoon. A holly hunt"
demands holly leaves cut out of green
paper and placed about the house in
plain sight, but in unusual places
Each child goes a-hunting the leaves
with a basket. and the one who finds
the largest number receives IL prize.
For cranberry race each couple has
two bowls. one partly filed with
cranberries. Each person. using the
left hand, tries to see how many ber-
ries he can move from one bowl to
the other with tiny spoon.
Envelopes filed with cut-up pictures
of Christmas scenes pasted on card
board and passed one to each person
give quiet fun The contest is putting
the puzzles together and seeing who
can do it quickest.
A variation of the familiar donkey"
game is played as follows:
A large tree is drawn on paper and
fastened on the wall. Pictures Of
Christmas gifts cut from advertise
ments and catalogues are distributed
among the guests. Each is blindfold-
ed in turn and tries to fasten the gift
on the branches of the tree.
Some inexpensive prizes for Christ
mas contests are blotters. decorated
with holly in water colors or oil, and
butterfly needlebooks. Dainty bonbon
boxes may be made of water color pa
per or of cardboard covered with
Grape paper. These filed with home
made candy are always acceptable.

Christmas Game
For Very Little Ones

Little Jacky Bingo," often played
at Christmas parties. is very simple
game and seems rather pointless to the
onlookers, but little children love it.
The players form n 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 Jacky
Bingo"
The players: Don't you steal one or
my fat pigs!"
Jacky: 81 stole one last night, and
I'll steal. another tonight; so come
along"
Then Jacky touches some one In the
ring. who has to fall out and Walk De-
hind him. So the game goes on. the
players falling in one behind announcer
till at fast Jacky has them all.

Nose and Goggles

A family Of fun loving boys and
girls gave an amusing Christmas par
ty. 1t was called q nose and google
party and helped 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 q 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
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 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 space opposite each fig
ure for a name.
In the social conversation which fol-
lowed each guest guessed who his or
her entertainer was. or course with
intimate friends the familiar voice re-
vealed the personality, but in many
cases this was not easily done II 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. he
turned his card and wrote the name
opposite No. A, etc. 1t was voted by
all the gay people who were present as
no end Of fun and most original way
of spending jolly evening

and it had been showing all the
morning.
The Marsden children sat
around the living room fire and sang
Christmas carols and talked about the
millions Of people who We're sending
gifts to loved ones, just as the wise
men brought gifts to the Christ Child
under the Christmas stars.
Suddenly they noticed that Clarice
was very thoughtful
what is the matter, Sis?' asked
Gordon, the oldest boy.
II am thinking Of our dear woods
people and how the snow has covered
their food SO that they may starve to
death while we are having a happy
Christmas" said Clarice.
Gordon whistled In dismay. "Oh, l
never thought of them" he said.
II don't want my gray squirrels to
starve to DEATH" said Paul.
And Mr.. Rabbit and his family"
added Mabel.
"Or the snowbirds. l saw a whole
flock yesterday" cried Gordon eagerly.
"Or my own dickey bird!" lisped Baby
Nan, pointing fat finger at the ca
nary's cage in the window.
They all laughed and kissed little
Nan.
And what about you, Cousin Mar
ION" they asked Of the little girl who
was visiting them.
I'm thinking about Mr.. Rabbit, too"
said Marion. II was thinking it would
be nice II Santa Claus remembered
him."
Gordon got up and danced a horn
pipe. Lets have Christmas tree for
the woods people" he shouted.
What q racket there was as they all
rushed into the hall after caps and
cloaks and overshoes!
Clarice and Gordon disappeared in
the kitchen and were gone a long time
When they came back they carried
little basket.
Baby Nan was taken to her moth
er's room, and the merry youngsters
ran shouting across the snowy garden
to the path which led to the woods.
How quiet the woods were when they
were in the shadow of the pines and
hemlocks!
Suddenly some twigs cracked, and
beautiful deer bounded lightly away
and disappeared among the trees.
He was hungry" said Gordon. See
how he has eaten the twigs from the
hemlocks."
All over the snow were the foot
prints of little animals-rabbits.s quir
rels, even the trail of fox which
Gordon and Paul pointed out.
And threading in and out like a pat
tern of lacework were the dainty foot
prints of birds.
Poor little woods people," sighed
Clarice. I'm afraid the snow has COW
cred all the seeds and pine cones"
where shall we have the Christmas
tree?" asked Mabel, jumping up and
down with delight.
"Here!' cried Marion. pointing to a
small holly tree. 'See, it is already
trimmed with red berries!'
Just the thing" said Gordon, open
ing his basket. Now, youngsters, step
up and help yourselves to goodies to
put on the Christmas tree.
Here are nuts for the squirrels bits
Of suet for the blue jays and the snow
birds. some lettuce and carrots for Mr..
Rabbit and his family, some canary
seed to scatter on this cloth and apples

that was! Everybody helped to trim
