 Gifts To Pass Along
 1 A game with philanthropic twist will be of interest to old sters The hostess asks each guest 1 to bring toy to the party The more unusual the gift the better and it must be wrapped in tissue paper and tied. These packages may be hung from the branches of the Christmas tree or placed in punchbowl wreathed with holly. Each guest is provided a card and pencil One by one each selects gift, opens it and sits down to write a jingle about it
 1 Each one signs his name on his card These are collected and read aloud, prize going to the man and woman writing the best jim gleS. Toys brought by the guests are to be sent to some childrens home.
 i Here's another old-timer that is hard tc do, but provides much fun Guests are seated in front Of a table on which is placed a lighted candle-a red one, of course, for Christmas. A guest is chosen to start the game. He is blindfolded turned around three times, set free and directed to blow out the candle : Or he may be asked to stand di- rectly in front of the table facing the candle while he is being blind- folded.

Frozen Land Lacks
 Snow for Yuletide

Those people who think of Alaska as a land of ice and snow are mis- taken!
 It seems that several of the Far North communities were noticeably even embarrassingly-lacking in snow last Christmas, and many Alaskan boys and girls who got new sleds from Santa were very disap- pointed.
 In Seward, citizens were making plans to haul in several loads of snow from the mountains to pile around the Christmas trees on Fourth avenue as a reminder that it really was the holiday season in the "bleak and frozen north" A slight fall of snow came just in time to save them the trouble, how ever.
 In Ketchikan, a snowless Christ. mas was celebrated, but this is not unusual for Ketchikan, where De. cember g, 1940. was the eighteenth snowless Christmas since 1917.

For sister, pajamas. play suits, blouses, evening dresses, sports frocks, riding brooches, purses. For father. lounging robes, shirts, handkerchiefs, pajamas, sport shirts.

 And for the whole family, towels, table linens, rugs, bedspreads, cur tains, auto seat covers, quilts, sheets, slip covers.
 So you see, your Christmas allow ence will really stretch. There's . gift of cotton for every member of the family.

And therefore iets pe
 Fold up the card tables, set aSioe the Chinese checkers, the pach- gafnmon board and Nah Johs racks. The Yuletide season IS near ing, time to resurrect the oio- fashioned games. Some even oaVe hack to Great -Grandwother's day but oldsters and youngsters Of to- day love them for the simple fun they provide.
 Although book after book is pub lished each year offering new sug- ocstions for the holly and mistletoe season, it's invariably the old stand-bys that are chosen when the family and friends gather for merrymaking.
 Here is an old and tried one but ever popular as it affords a gay opening for a Christmas party. It is called Hidden Gifts" A box wrapped and tied attractively is filled with gifts, one for each per son. The box is concealed in the -oom.
 Music Gives Clues
 A leader is chosen and blind folded. the guests form a line be- hind him and to the acompani- ment of music he starts the hunt for the hidden box. The guests must follow him and offer no sug- gestions. If he approaches the gift box the music is loud, if he leads in the wrong direction it is dimin- ished. Through concentra a e thought he eventually will find the box. He is permitted to distribute the gifts to the guests with appro- priate remarks. (The gifts should refer to the hobbies or shortcom- ings of the guests).
 There is another game of Grand mothers day which also gives a festive opening to party. A small gift is selected by the hostess placed in box (not too smalD and wrapped inconspicuously in dark paper. Guests are asked to retire from the room while the box is being hidden. On returning the first person spying the box says nothing but sits down. Each player as he discovers it follows suit. The last one to spy the box pays a forfeit selected by the group and the first prize goes to the player who first discovered the box
 Noisy, But Fun
 Another merry game is called Shouting Proverbs" This is how it goes. One player is sent from the room while the rest choose { well-known proverb such as "A Stitch in Time Saves Nine"
 Each player is given ono wore
The Daily Alaska empire., 1941-12-21

wreath on the brow of the dummy. Those who go wide of the mark must pay forfeits, while those who succeed receive prizes.
 It's in Wash ington Irving Sketch Book" the chapter titled, Christmas Eve" that one finds this interesting reference to early American games: We kept up the old games of hoodman blind, shoe the wild mare, hot cookies, steal the white loaf, bob-apple and snap dragon. The Yule log and Christ
 mas candle were regularly burnt and miStletoe with white berries hung up to the imminent peril of all the pretty housemaids."

tree is hung with trifling gifts un- wrapped. One by one the guests are conducted into the room and permitted to view the tree for two minutes. Then the guest leaves the room. When each has had his turn leach previously has been sup piled with paper and penciD he lists the articles he observed on the tree. Number l winner selects 8 gift from the tree. Number fol- lows suit and so on until each has gift. Or prizes may be awarded to the two most complete lists of articles.
 Here is another interesting gift distribution and guessing game. Gifts of all kinds are placed on a flat table and covered with a sheet. The ends must be pinned securely under the table. Guests are taken into the room and given cards which have been numbered. A guest selects his gift by feeling it under the sheet, writes on his card what he thinks it is and then rins his card on the mound V Prizes go to the two who made the best guesses.
 There is another game which tests ones powers of quick observa- tion, The hostess provides a huge Christmas stocking of net. This is stuffed with odds and ends found about the house. The stocking is hung so that it may be observed from all sides by the guests who are allotted certain time to list their gueSses on card. The three best lists claim awards.
 Writing and Drawing
 When the party is composed of men and women this game will be of interest. Each woman is pro- vided paper and pencil and is asked to write a short original story with a Christmas theme. When they have finished (the hostess limits the time) their stories are passed to the men who will illustrate the stories with pencil drawings. Prizes are awarded for the two best fin ished products.
 Guessing games, too, are popular mediums of entertainment. A tall glass jar or bowl is filled with red cinnamon pellets.
 Each guest writes on card his guess as to the number of pellets in the jar. These cards are signed and placed in box, the prize going to the two making the near est gueSses.
 Another guessing game has a branch of holly, well-berried placed on a white background or a table. Guests are given certain ] time to observe the branch without touching it ond write on card the !, number of berries. Prizes are giver for the two best guesses.
 Forfeit Games Fit f Forfeit games, too, fit well into the Christmas merrymaking. dummy figure of "Old King Yule' | is made by using barrel for the badly, a false face, cotton for beard and hair, a woolen cap and shawls . for clothing. Each guest in turn i. : blindfolded and given a holly wreath. He is turned around three 5 times, then tries to place the
