make. To make a nag, each child
had to have thirteen cards with stars
on them. seven red stripes and six
white stripes. After the nag was
formed the children spread them on
the grass before them and when all
the flags possible had been formed
they borrowed in turn from their left
hand neighbor's hand trying to form
flags with the cards thus drawn At
the end of the game the lawn was
dotted with pictures of flags and the
child who had succeeded in making
the most received a pretty silk flag for
prize.
The next game they played wns
"Battleship Race" In large tubs Of
water were tiny little battleships. Each
ship was numbered and each child was
given a small stick of wood with the
corresponding number. with the
sticks the children were to push tho
tiny crafts around the tub three times
and the one who reached the finishing
flag first was the winner.
And then 1t was time for "eats.-

When refreshments had been eaten
they all stood up and sang 'The Star

the ice cream.

Bare-legged. they waded through the
swamp and followed the inlet to the

found what they were after-coach

with these they staggered as best they

hung the lighted lanterns in the

She had divided the cards into three
packs; on the cards of one pack she
had pasted in the center a gilt star;
on another pack one narrow strip of
red paper and on the third pack one
