When Farmer Browns Boy reached
the sugar house he told Farmer Brown
how on his way home the night before
he felt that he had been followed and
how on his way over to the sugar
house in the morning Bowser the
Hound had come sneaking back with
his tail between his legs.

evaporator was full of boiling sap

Farmer Browns Boy had brought over

decided that both would stay all night,
then they could keep the evaporator

When night came Old Dobbin the

for him close TO the sugar house.
After supper Farmer Brown rolled up
in his blanket to sleep. while Farmer
Browns Boy kept the fire going under
the big pan of the evaporation and
watched the boiling sap. Later he
would sleep while and Farmer
Brown would watch. The moon came
up above the trees and flooded the
clearing in front of the sugar house
with soft light. Beca use of the snow
it was almost as light as day out there.

Human beings cannot be hurried

Mrs. T. must just settle down to

Several of the typical emblems char
Rcteristic of st. Patrick's day will be
used in this party originated for read
ers of this paper. The color scheme
for decorations will, of course, be
green, but we shall include white also.
A good game with which to start the
festivities is Gathering Shamrocks.
Provide each player with small bas-
ket having tiny colored spray of
crepe paper flowers attached to the
handle. There should be two sprays
alike. Matching them indicates who's
who for partners. The baskets can
he of any shaped cardboard boxes with
handles fastened to them. Cover the
boxes with green crepe paper. The
handles may be of strips of the card
hoard similarly covered. although
green crepe paper rope may be used
equally well.
Prior to the party the hostess should
have cut shamrocks from grass green
crepe paper. These should have been
scattered about in hidden places in the
rooms so that they must be hunted
for. If the paper is folded several
times, a number of the little leaves can
be cut at once! The couple who, to-
gether. succeed in gathering in their
baskets the largest number Of sham
rocks during a given time, indicated
by the hostess, win prizes. A growing
shamrock plant is the incest sort of
prize for this game.
Driving Away Snakes.
st. Patrick is reputed to have driven
the snakes away from Erin. Can you

been there prior to this felictous time?

Filling Pipe.
AS many clay pipes are needed for
this game as there are players. Two
Of them have the same number writ
ten on the bowls. Matching the nu-
merals secures partners. In the cen
ter of each table arranged for four
persons there should be a container
Of confetti If YOU cannot get the
bags that come ready filled and which
cost but a triffe each, the confetti can
be made by shipping various colored
sheets of tissue paper into very tiny
pieces. preferably wee squares. There
should be at least heaping cupful on
each table.
Rules of the Game.
One Of the group takes a spoonful
of the confetti and throws it straight
up into the air. The other three try to
catch the particles in the bowls of the
pipes before they land on the table
again. Each player from the left to
right takes a turn at throwing the
spoonful of confetti into the air while
the others catch it as described. The
game can be terminated when there
IS no more confetti to be gathered in

hostess can allow SO many rounds TO

moonlight. Now, at first he saw
nothing He was just about to step
out into the open when, on the far
ther side of the clearing ii seemed to
him a shadow moved He remained
where he was, his eyes fixed on that
spot. A moment later he caught his
breath. a huge Cat--a giant Cat had
stepped out in the moonlight and was
standing like statue, looking toward
the sugar house.
Farmer Browns Boy knew that he
was looking al Puma the Panther. the
largest member of the Cat family in
the North, the animal called Cougar
and Mountain Lion. In the moonlight
it looked for all the world like Black
Pussy grown to tremendous size. He
could see the long tail. 1t was turned
