Lighting Up

Blowing feather is an amusing game.
Half of the guests take one side of the
room, half the other. Let them stand in
rows, about 10 feet apart, Now, have the
hostess or some one stand in the centre
of the two rows and blow a feather into
the air. A line should be drawn up the
centre OF the space between the sides
chalk or a piece of string may be used.
The object OF the game is to keep the
feather from blowing over on ones side
of the line. 1t must not be touched with
the hand. 1t can only De blown. If the
feather falls on the other side of the line
a point is scored. If 1t falls within the
line, the opponents score. Thirteen points
make game. Toy balloons may be used,
too.
Scandal is another lively game. Let
a player go out of the room. The others
then make remarks about him. These are
taken down by the official scandal-monger.
When the player returns, these remarks
are read out, and the unfortunate victim
tries to guess who said each one.
Bullet and bracelet is good also. Sus-
pend a bracelet from the chandelier by a
string. Give your players small bullets
of tinfoil, such as come around chocolates
Each player must then throw the bullet
through the bracelet. Five points are al
lowed the person who succeeds. Forty
five points make game.

Novel Desk Set

II your bedroom is cretonne-hung, a
desk set to harmonize is pretty conceit.
The articles should be neatly made and
the cretonne of pleasing design. For the
pad, cut out a square of cardboard the
size of your desk, or the size you want 1t.
The back of this must be carefully covered
with the cretonne, pasted on, and the cor
ners turned over on the other side of the
cardboard. Small dabs OF the paste ought
to be sufficient.
Now put piece of blotting paper in any
color that looks we'll with the cretonne on
the reverse side of the pad. Paste down
the corners and place under weights. Cut
triangular pieces of cardboard the size of
the corners of the pad, cover them with
cretonne and paste them on.
A small blotter is simple thing to
make. Cover a piece of cardboard the
size of your little blotters with cretonne,
paste on the blotters and tie together.
