When the music starts again they
must all come back into line, each
holding all the flags he was able to
gather. This continues until all the
haSs have been gathered and the child
who has the greatest number of flags

Pinning the tail on the donkey is
always enjoyed by children of this age,
and you can get the necessary imple-
ments at the toy department of any
large store.

ite, In this the children form a line
and march around line of chairs, in
which there are enough chairs for all
but one of the players. When the
music stops everybody scrambles for a
chair and the one who is left out must
wait until the end of the game. Each
time one player is left out another chair
is taken away before the. line starts
moving again.
! hope these games will help YOU
to keep the children entertained for the
afternoon and that they will all enjoy
the party very much.

START THIS STORY TODAY

A T FIRST the idea of really doing
"A something In the world had ap-
pealed to Ruth as funny. Even in her
war work she had not thought of it as
working, because she received ns none
tary remuneration for it, When Helen
first announced her intention of doing
something, Ruth had rather resented
Helen's attempt to step out of her class.
Ruth thought it silly of Helen to want
to work when there was no necessity
for it. Now she secretly admired Helen
and thought her manner far more at
tractive than it ever had been with its
added independence. She thought about
matters for several days after she had
seen Helen and then forgot it for time
IN an unpleasant experience she had
with Fleta Sears.
Fleta ran in one evening just as Ruth
was getting dinner. She expected Scott
home any minute, and the sight of Flcta
was not conducive to any pleasant feel
ing for she still owed her money.
Ruth took Fleta into the living room,
and the two women chatted casually
about generalities for n few minutes
before Fleta began the business in hand.
MY dear, hate to as,, you this, but
I am a little short this week and I wish
you could let me have that money"
F1eta spoke hestantly, as though she
hated TO speak Of it at all, and yet Ruth
imagined that she detected something
else behind her suave manner. :

Please Tell Me
What to DO
The BOYS Side Of 1t
BY CYNTHIA

Dear Cyntha-Just word to
Babe | agree with YOU on every
thing you say and It is doubtless true
But did you ever consider that the
girls often cause boys to worry and
often fool them? This I know, because
] had experience.
Also. a girl should never take TO
heart what a boy says on the night OF
their first meeting why, they don't
even know each other! It is just a
gentlemanly act of boy to escort a
girl home.
A boy will often do anything In his
power to win a girl and she will some
times treat him as cold as ice. Girls
sometimes do not appreciate a boys in
tentions toward them.
Let me add. however. you made a
very wise decision when you came to
Cynthia for advice, for her advice is
sound and her suggestions always work
rut. Hoping to hear some more from

Have a Plain Understanding

Dear Cynthia have been reading
your column for some time and l think
you may be able to help me solve
small puzzle. I have been keeping COM
pany with young man about year
and three months, and although I have
not received a diamond. we have made
up our minds that some day we will be
more than sweethearts. Every one
knows that | am deeply in love but
when | mention anything about when
we are married" or anything of that
sort when any one is around. he frowns
and seems to act cross. My parents
realize that there is more than friend
ship, but he seems afraid his parents
will find it out.
Kindly give me your opinion. Is he
ashamed because he is young twenty),
WORRIED SWEETHEART.
My DEAR have a decided understand
ing on the matter with the young man.
Ask him what he means, If he intends
to marry you, If he does not want II
spoken OF. that is If there is a sensible
reason for it, and ask him to talk to
your father about it.
If the young man feels that he wants
to make more money before marrying
and wishes to save for a year or two,
1t Is reasonable thing not to announce
the engagement. as once an engage
ment is announced ones friends and ac-
quaintances are forever asking when
are you going to be married." And as
that is your and your flance's affair
and not theirs. it is we'll not to announce
an engagement longer than six months
before you intend to marry.
Have 1t all out with him in an open
and aboveboard talk and If he frowns
and gives no legitimate excuse and will
not tell his parents, unless there is a
legitimate and sensible reason for not
doing so and he can give you clear,
straightforward reason for it, you would
do we'll to break off relations with him
at once.

your will you might he able 10 stop 1t

If you cannot control it in this way,
ask at the drug store for some medicine
