Games for Around the Christmas Tree

T was the hour of dusk after
 busy and exciting Christmas day
 and the children at Laura Mays Christmas house party were sitting around waiting for the nursery sup per. Mrs Futile wishing no moment of her party unenjoyed called the lit tie ones to her as she seated herself near the brilliantly lighted Christmas tree and suggested that they play some quiet games. The first one she suggested was Santa Claus.
 One child was chosen to be Santa Claus and a second child was chosen to be blindfolded. Santa Claus left the room and returned with a bag filled with small toys and articles. The child who was blindfolded was given an empty stocking which she held up and into which Santa Claus dropped a toy. The object of the game is to see if the blindfolded child can guess from feeling the toy through the toe of the stocking what 1t is. If she guesses correctly then it Is her turn to be Santa Claus and new child is blindfolded and the game continued until everyone has had a turn.
 The next game was Bargain Coun-

Taking a lantern he went up and found an old pair of snow shoes. long disused. He took them down with him and spent a long time tightening them up and repairing them. Then he got some light boards and made a sledge.
 It stormed all night but in the morning morning-it had stopped. The snow was two or three feet deep and badly drifted
 Robert ate a good breakfast. Then he loaded his sledge with all the good things he had bought for their Christ mas--the turkey, the bread and but ter, the vegetables. the nuts and raisins. He added the Christmas gifts he had brought for his parents and sisters. Then, well wrapped up. he sallied out

 His name was repeated several times more and then came the mes sage. Robert Bronson, this is Harold Scott. The Cramer family on Wood tick road northeast of Black Pond Is in distress. Mrs. Cramer Is there alone with the children and there Is no food in the house. Mr Cramer was thrown from his team and in- jured while in Pleasantville yesterday. He cannot get home. Can you help them?"
 The voice stopped. Then 1t began over again, Robert Bronson, Robert Bronson" and the same message was repeated

 He slept soundly all night. When he awoke it was still pretty dark and he was startled to see by his watch that it was eight o'clock. He jumped iron; bed and ran to the window. Out side it was showing heavily and the wind was rising.
 Bob was bitterly disappointed. That means the family won't come out he said to himself. There's six or eight inches Of snow now and they can't drive up. Whats more, I can't get back. It's a regular blizzard"
 It was. indeed. Thicker and thick CT came the snow and the wind howied about the house. After a while Bob's disappointment wore off and he began to feel the thrill of the adventure.
 All day long the blizzard ragged. Bob struggled back and forth to the wood pile and brought in a huge supply of wood. He cooked up a lot of food, too. Then he put his radio apparatus in order and connected 1t with the aerial. already in place, which he used in the summer. When evening came he sat down to see if he could hear

He bur rowed Into the snow on the lee side of q huge tree, threw n blanket over his head and rested while he drank some hot coffee from a vacuum bottle and ate some sandwiches. Then he pushed ahead again.
 It was mid afternoon before he reached the Cramers' little house. The snow was up to It's windows. Robert struggled to the door and knocked. Merry Christmas!" he shouted with all the strength he had.
 Bob was soon inside the cabin and told his story in few words. Mrs. Cramer, hustled about and made good use of the food he had brought. Then when Bob had revived and they were all warm and fed. he gave the chill dren his little gifts and they all made merry together.
 Bob. seeing the joy he had brought. was very happy. After all" he thought to himself, this is pretty good Christmas. I'm glad I was showed In all alone now"
 Two days later, when their food was nearly gone again. Mrs Cramer's brother with some other men broke through from the village bringing fresh supplies and the news that MT. Cramer's Injury was not serious. Bob went back with the men, while her brother stayed with Mrs. Cramer.
 When he reached home and told of his adventure his father said: we were sorry you were not with us--and we were worried some, too. But you have learned how good 1t is to carry help and cheer to others. and that Is the great lesson of Christmas. Bob. And-Im proud of your courage. h

Here 1t was late Christi mas Eve-almost Christmas morning and she had nothing in the house In the way Of decorations to hang upon this unexpected tree. But Mrs. Brown was resourceful woman, and often times she could make something out of nothing. Here is what she did in this case. It may help you out of similar difficulty at some tirne.
 Cranberries make lovely chains and when draped from bough to bough add festive touch of color to the tree. Pop corn strings are used the same way and vary the color scheme. Fluffs of cotton make a good imita- ton of a snow fall and little salt around the base of the tree helps to carry out the effect. Toys from Buddy Browns Noah's Ark headed the list of decorations. Pretzeis and sugar cookies made the tree look good enough to eat. Chains of rings made of different colored papers give a col- orful effect These are made by slip ping a strip of paper through a ring already completed and pasting over the ends to form another ring. A weaving mate, folded across the mid- dle and then opened out and pasted cylindrically will with the addition of handle make a pretty lantern. Pea nut strings, or peanuts hung separate ly add to the effect, and a few artificial flowers and paper balls complete tho home made Christmas tree.

 That settled 1t. T know what I'll do," cried Bob. who was eighteen "I'll drive up two or three days before Christmas and get everything we need in the village and have the house warm for you when you come"
 His suggestion was adopted. and early on the morning of the 23rd Bob
