The Head then went to sleep on
the floor, and LISA, after she had
washed the few dishes, lay on the
bench and slept.
In the morning the Head went into
the forest for it's servants, and sud-
denly the hut began to expand and
change, until it was fine mansion,
beautifully furnished, with servants
to wait upon her.
Spirited horses were in the sta
bles, and the servants got ready a
carriage for her to ride with the
Head. e u.s. l&
Into the carriage she stepped, car
rying in her arms cock with a red
comb. Beside her was the Head, and
away the coachman drove.

And the cock crowed.

"crow!" And the cock crowed for
the second time.
"My cock" said LISA for the third
time, "crow!" And the cock crowed

Then LISA heard a rafting noise,
and when she turned to look at the
Head it had become heap of
bright golden sequins.
OF course the fine mansion and the
money and all became the property

THE HUT In THE FOREST
THERE was once cruel, cruel
stepmother whose husband

SCepmOLnor whose nuSUdHu
was so afraid of her that
when she commanded him to take
his daughter and lose her in the for
est, he was afraid to disobey.
The meek, unhappy father took
Lissa into the forest, and, leaving
her in little hut, told her to wait
until he had finished chopping wood.
But he did no chopping, but went
home as fast as he could.
LISA prepared the dinner of the
food she had brought with her, and
when it was ready she called out:
Come. my father, the soup is
ready. Come and sup it while it is
hot!"
OF course the father did not reply,
but there was Head in the forest
which heard her and came to the
door.
"Maiden!" ordered the Head,
"open the door, And the maiden
opened 1t. q
Lift me I'M" cried the Head, and
LISA lifted it In.
Maiden, put your dinner on the
tablet" was the next command, and
LISA obeyed.
Then LISA and the Head sat down
to dinner. 9
When they had finished the Head
called: &
Take me off the bench" and LISA
took it off the bench where she had
placed it to dine.

The entire group of players is

chased They are not to tell what
they bought, but when called on,
each one is to initiate the sound and
action of his or her toy. and it is to

toy is guessed. Il
A Mix-np. +.
Two slips of paper are given each
one, together with the request that
a perfectly good question be written
on one and perfectly good answer
to it on the other. All questions and
answers are gathered, the questions
in one box, the answers in another.
They are thoroughly mixed and then
passed around, each one taking both
question and an answer. They are
called on in turn to read their slips
and some of them are slips to be
sure. At one party one Of the boys
drew. What did you do last Satur-
day." and the answer was "Bobbed

For example, the leader may say,
Boys run, and run himself, when
all must imitate;1 but If he should
say, "Fish rum, or Fences run"
they should not initiate. Many exer-
cises may be used, such as walk,
Jump, stoop, swim, fly, l.op. throw,
catch, bat, whirl, etc. Whenever the
leader sees any player fail to initiate
when he should or initiate when he
should not, he may call that one to

London Bridge With Flowers.
A very pretty flower game for the
Riddles is version of London Bridge.
Two children clasp hands, holding

London Bridge. Under this arch the
rest of the party pass. The two form

Were looking for pansy, a pansy,

"We're looking for pansy, and
here's one now"
So singing they capture some child
and add him or her to the line. as in
London Bridge, the child choosing
the side he or she prefers.
The song remains the same
throughout, but the name of the
flower is changed after each capture.
