continues until the pile disappears.
A FiIl-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 n 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 in their
pile. The nouns will seldom come in
their original places, and the result
will be ridiculous mix-up.
Sliced Toy Puzzles.
From advertisements cut pictures of
toys, and paste these upon pieces Of
cardboard; then with sharp knife
slice the cardboard into irregular
pieces as indicated in Fig. 1. Place

the game, give each player an envel-

not know the location. All pieces
removed belong to him. unless he re-
moves Tip. when all must be returned
to the pile, and the turn passes to the
next player. who retires to the other
room while another Tip Is named. A

Up In the light tower stood Marie
looking through the great glass wall,
striving to pierce the darkness and

weeping.

alive aud the old light might help
him."
For hours she remained at the post,
watching and waiting, oil but hopeless.
Midnight found her asleep in chair
close by the light, exhausted by her
long vigil.
A scream from below made her vide
awake. She stumbled down the stairs
and groped her way TO Emeline's room.
To her surprise lamp was burning
and there was Emellne seated on the
bed, bouncing doll, fully as large as
herself, on her knee.

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

the guests find their places by inter-
