entertained Monday afternoon at the Dan
cy home, the Woman's Missionary society
at the Baptist church.
The two hostesses gave their grown-up
lady guests kindergarten games to play,
and, as is always the case when grown-ups
pretend to be children again, the ladies
vent away with home cares and worries big
and little temporarily washed away by
hearty fun. The quaint old German folk
game Of Kitchen Sounds" and "vei
Singt f"-"Who is Singing a quaint
game that comes from Bavaria, as do our
"Thimble, Thimble' and s'Drop the Hand
kerchief," by the way, were played at the
Dancy home Monday. In one various
sounds heard in the kitchen, such as beat
ing eggs, ~chopping meat and 50 on, were
made behind a curtain, and the guest
guessed what each sound was. Mrs. II. 4.
Green won. Mrs. w. T. Harvey was most
accurate in telling who was singing behind
the curtain, when various persons in the
party sang for those on the other side to
name who the singer was. Another, and
modern, contest had each person write q
description of another guest, and this de-
s~cription was assigned to the person who,
in the opinion of the whole party, best
fitted it.

bers and readings that were heartily liked.
