 The last present In the bag is santa Clnus'. A good deal of amusement can be had at the party if committee of five boys Is chosen to look after the entertainment. good plan is to get up shadow pictures. 4 sheet Is hung up near one end of the room, about five feet from the wall. Behind the sheet. close to the wall and low down Is placed a strong light. The knights and others who are to be the audience all sit in front, and when cyerythin- Is ready all lights except the one b, hind the sheet are put out The boys who are to make the shadow picture. then % between the light and the sheet and cut up all sorts of antics. throw ing large shadows on the sheet 1T there iS boy who can make odd shadow pictures with his hands he can anuSe the club for some time.
 Another thing that makes fun at a Santa Claus party may be called the boy orator." A large pair of boots Is provided. and the boy orator puts his arms in these and stands back of table, so that his booted arms may look like q pair of short legs and he appears to be funny little man stand. ing on the table. Another boy stands behind him. and puts his arms through under the orators arms and makes the gestures while the orator delivers his speech. this can be made very funny If the orator learns a good speech and If the boy who makes the gestures waves his Arlns and makes veIy bad and Inappropriate gestures. IL Is cape cially trying for the orator If the gestursr hslds A hAndk erehief h his hands and wipes his tacs occasionally or waves 1t in triumph at inappropriate times.-Ehe Delineater
