ETIQUETTE

T am about to give a silver we'd ding present to a young couple who are to be married in October.

shallow bowl Of ice water. The wax

teners; thus, a bell shaped drop tpdi-
Gates a wedding within a year, any
thing resembling torch Of lamp tndi-
Gates a fame, horn Of plenty, wealth,

The Needle Game.
Each guest Is supplied with a
creased needle, and all are floated on
a large pan OF water Impelled by
magnetic attraction the needles VIII
behave very curiously;. some VIII
cling together while others will rush

manner in which one persons needle

amusement, and is supposed to be
suggestive.
Who Is He-she7
Cut alphabets from old newspapers
and place them in a bowl. Each guest,
one at time, takes out small hand
| full and throws 1t on wide surfaced
pan of water like confetti. The let
! tiers that float will suggest the name
Of the persons future husband or wife
| The Ghostly Hand.
Stuff an old kid glove with rags or
paper. Then wet the outside with ice
water Then invite the guests singly
into darkened room to meet the pre-
siding spirit of the evening. The per-
son operating the glove contriVes to
have the guest take it in his or her
hand. An even better method is for
the operator to put wet glove on his
own hand and grasp the hand OF each
person with It. The clammy, creepy
feeling of being touched with cold
wet glove will get rise out OF most
Ianybody!
