Acrostic Place Cards.

An original idea for the place cards
for the Christmas party Is to prepare
them in the form of letters from Santa
Claus, with the names and addresses
of the guests worked out in acrostics,
as is suggested on the two specimen
envelopes in the illustration and have
the guests find their places by inter-
preting the inscriptions upon the en-
velopes, The first envelope illustrated
reads, Miss Lillian Cook, 40 Adams
Street" the second one, mir. Harry
Underwood. 5lS Bell Avenue Some Of

A FiII-in Game

A Fill-in Game.
For a laughter producer this game
has no peer. A poem is selected and
copied upon paper, with each noun
omitted and line drawn in its place.
Then the nouns are copied upon small
cards, one upon each. The cards are
dealt, an equal number to each player,
and player Is chosen as reader. The
reader reads the poem, pausing at
each space, and the players fill in in
turn, a noun from the cards ii their
pile The nouns will. seldom come in
their original places, and the result
will be ridiculous mix-up.
