to amuse themselves. A circle was
formed around the fire and the per-
son who proposed the game was the
first to spell. Each was required to
spell in turn a word without the let
ter ii" in 1t. not to exceed six letters
nor to contain fewer than three. The
spelling had to be done promptly and
anyone hesitating or failing to re-
spond quickly was declared out OF
the game by the umpire. This Of
fetal was the first who, in the popu-
lar opinion of the circle. had failed.
AS a penalty the first six to be
cropped out were obliged to provide
some sort of entertainment for the
crowd the next evening. The two
remaining in the circle the longest
were winners and deserving of much
praise and honor, and, as recogni-
ton, were presented little blue rib
hon bows, which, when worn, signi-
fed that they were immune from the
usual camp bugbear, dishwashing.

good fun-maker. Place barrel bot

space. On it place a desk bell Of the
kind used by teachers. Make a
mark on the ground about four feet
from the barrel Blindfold one of
the players and stand him on the
mark, facing the barrel. Give him
a five-foot stick, a little wider at one
end than at the other-a canoe pad
die will answer the purpose admir-
ably. Then turn him around till he
has made three complete turns. The
player must try to keep in mind the
location of the barrel while he is
being turned. When he stops he may
try three times to ring the bell with
the stick. Let each player have three
turns. The largest number of rings
by one person will win the game.

Bean Bag Relay: Divide the
company present into two lines
standing opposite and facing each
other. Give the leader of each line a
bean bag, then instruct the lines to
pass the bag as fast as possible be-

take it in her hands and pass to the
next one.
When the person at the end re-

her line to the head, remaining there
after the bag has started down again.
This is continued until each one has
run and the leader is again at the
head of her line, when she holds the
bag high over her head, indicating
that her side has won. This game

Parents Problems

How can a child be broken Of the
habit OF talking too fast?
The child who talks too fast is
usually the child who has been told
that he talks too much--he talks
fast in order to say all that he has
to say before he is told that he has
talked enough" Such child can
perhaps best be broken of the habit
of talking too fast by being assured
that you have plenty OF time to lis
ten to all that he has to say, so that
he need not hurry in saying it.
