GAMES FOR PARTIES.

Every week brings lts quota of requests
from readers for games suitable for all
kinds Of parties This week my readers
have been asking rne to suggest contest
games which they may introduce In Hal
lowe en- parties. II know all the old
Hallowe en- games, such as bobbing for
apples, say many Of these letters, what
] want is something new-Somethlng my
guests can play IN addition 10 the old
Hallowe en- games" The following Jolly
games are suitable for su ch an occasion as
well as for birthday partie es, anniversary
parties Of all varieties, simple get
together" evenings-in fact appropriate
for any kind of gathering where KING Fun
Is allowed to reign.
Tape-Cuttlng Contest-Each guest Is
provided with a three-yard piece of inch
wide tape one end Of which is attached TO
some stable object (the pipes of q radiator
wall do) He is gwen a paIr of scissors and
told to cut the tape down the centre Us
fast as possible IT, in his haste he cuts
one Of the two strands Of tape off, he
drops out of the contest. A prize goes to
the person who cuts his tape into two
tapes in the shortest time The same PAIR
of scissors should be used by each con
testant TO make the game fair.
Men S Observation Contest Each gen
tleman is requested to single out lady
to talk to for five minutes, without being
told why he is to do so AT the end Of that
time, he is given pencil and paper,
ushered from the room, and asked TO
write description Of the attire Of the lady
with whom he was talking. 1t makes great
fun when the men return and read aloud
their descriptions generally rdiculously
far from the truth, with articles Of clothing
mlsnamed).
Slang Contest The players are given a
sheet of paper and pencil and asked to
write down as man slang words and ex-
pressIOns as they can think Of in FIVE
minutes The results are then read aloud
Il is surprising how many extremely quiet
people can produce such results as. Tell

Dicky did not 90 near enough for Mr..

that he WAS nice plump duck and it
made his eyes shine with longing to look

stopped swimming and looked around.
Mr.. Fox had hidden himself well un-

BUM JOBS.

There arc jobs that women can work In
nowadays and make some sort of a
living at; but they are not worth the
energy they take, and they hold little
opportunity for the. slightest advance
ment.
A number of girls ore now running
elevators for instance. II takes steady
nerves to do this, il takes strength, for
most of the day that operator is on her
feet, il is usually drafty business, and
it leads nowhere. Except as help-out
if you are studying something and need
money, leave such work alone The pay
IN small the hours may not be any longer
than any working hours, but you 30 home
tired and dispirited, not lit TO do anything
else Even as makcshlft. running an
elevtor is not good, just for that reason.
Then there is telegraphy. Any woman
tclegrapher will tell YOU Don q II you ask
her IL IL exhsusting work, the hours are
long, pay is deducted for every minute Of
absence, no matter what the cause, the
holidays are short, only half a day ON
legal holidays, and the pay IN small.
II takes al average of five years IN
become AN expert, and by then Che
average woman If worn out The nervous
strain involved is tremendous, and seefn-
ulEtN IL Nlts ifssby VA Noihfsh . Npia
stltiItion.
Unless there is dire ncod, it Is mistake
for any girl To go into work that viii wear
her out in few years She Will lose her
looks before her youth is over and she will
be too tired to enjoy life IN her free hour
Yet girls continue to crowd into such
jobs rather than to- fill positions of house
workers, where the pay IS far higher and
the conditions inoomparably better IL IS
because Of the silly convention that house
jobs are beneath their dignity But ideas do
change, and this idea is gradually getting
outwom It will be blessing when the
average girl chooecs her work not because
of peoples fool opinions, but for It's value
to herself To bc worn outat thirty, with
no prospects, is not an app ealing outlook
Yet many a girl appears To- prefer 1t To good
sound work in pleasant surroundings
with excellent pay, prospects of advance
nent, and easier hours. Funny world
isn't it7

boon TO housewives who for the first time
in years have been able to clean their
attlcs, because before they did not know
what to do with the junk that had accumli-
lated. Their consciences would not allow
them to throw good furniture INTO the
fire, nor cast wcarable garments into the
garbage can, and yet they knew person.
ally no one to whom they could give these
things.
Now they send them to the economy shop
where they are sold for mere plttance,
and where they meet Iongtelt want,
because they go to that middle class OF
people, the small salaried people, who are
being ground to powder between the
profteers above them and below them :,
These people, the gentecl poor would
starve and freeze rather than take charity,
but they can supply their needs at the
Economy Shop, and save their money
and their pride. -,
At the Economy Shop one may buy odd
dishes for ten cents piece, hat Tor
dollar that with little furnishing is AS
good as it was when It cost twenty-five
or thirty dollars. Every kind OF dress
from a bungalow apron to an imported
ball dress, at prices tnat are = traction
of what was originally pa,d Tor them |;
three new novels for dollar, magazines
for five cents a piece, and shoes that per-
haps need little cobbling to make them
as good as new, for Twenty-Five cents to
dollar, and SO on.
And there's every conceivable thing
in the shop, from quilt pieces up and
down. for IL is a clearing house for domestic
undesirables on one hand, as II rs q
clearing house for domestic undcsIrables
"a ut
the millions of things that other people
need and want on the other hand. More
over. il has fostsred beautiful spirit
in those who give. 1t has made the woman
who has much realise her slsterhood with
the woman whom has little, and so the
women who give do not just Jump down
their things IN the storr any old way
They have got so that they take the
trouble TO frcshen up dre~ by putting
on new collars and cuffs, or cleaning or
pressing it, and making IT look better,
because they rcalize how much more
value IT will have In the eyes of the
woma n who buys it.
The Economy Shop has been partIcu-
lar blessing TO poor mothers with many
children because it had furnished them
at the least possible cost with quantities
of ready-made clothes for their young
ones, and with shoes of a quality that they
could never hope 10 buy in an open shop,
All OF the women connected with the
Economy Shop give their services, and
II is, 30 successful financially that for the
past two years II has cleared more than
thousand dollars a month. This money
is divided between three different char
tics which il virtually supports thus re
lieying the people Of the town from any
further alls upon their charity
The Economy Shop ~ great idea Try
IL In your own community.

of cards in the centre of the circle, The
first player begins by turning up card

to apply to the person holding the du-
picate TO the card that was drawn. But
he, in turn, is privileged TO turn up card
from the pack in the centre and ask
another uncomplimentary question, such
as "All right But who is the most pig

WHAT ABOUT OLIVES

Ever since the unfortunate incident OF
the death Of several persons poisoned by
eating ripe olives contaminated with
bacillus hotulinus last winter housewives
IN this country have been rather wary
about buving olives Now the truth oi the
matter ia that considering the number Of
OLIVES consumed annually only verY
small number were contaminated SIX
containers in all As has been pointed out,
"as many casea Of poisoning have occurred
annually in the city Of New York alone
from food spolagc IN such common pro
ducc as milk and meat. and elected little
or no comment from the press.
Moreover tho authorities OF California
and the California Olive Association have
taken very stringent sters 10 make quite
impossible any future occurrence OF
hotulinus IN olives 80 the facts seem 10 be
that there Is no morn danger now from
esting olives than any other food.
In general il Is veU good advice 10
follow not To buy canned fruit OF any sort
from an unreliable store. II you do not
know the standing OF the canning company
whose labels arr on your food packages you
can at least trust the reliable grocer IN
telling YOU of the companys reliability.
1t is always good plan to buy frs. .quatty
in any delicacv such as olives and always
Of course, in eating any bottled or timed
food to reject any that looks the least bit
suspicious when opened.
