First borrow a set of sleigh bells. They are not us easy to flnd as in the’ old days* Find a string with tuneful,varying notes If you wish the game to jingle to the full measure of holiday fun. The idea Is simply this: It is possi­ ble to suggest, then control the action of a person who doe? pot know what Is Ip your mind, but must Bpd out through the sound of the bells. Here Is the Way to do it: Send one of the guests from the room. The remainder decide what he must do. For Instance—go to a certain table, pick up a book, take it to an­ other table and place u near the lamp. Here are four separate acts in suc­ cession. The person outside, is called back. Somebody has been chosen to be the manipulator of the bells. He must use a nice judgment in using them, ringing softly when the act approaches what is In the minds of all; ringing loudly as the perplexed player moves away. Try ft Use subtle gradations of sound to guide your experiment Without a word being spoken he will at last be ■guided to do what has been secretly agreed upon. Loud ringing when he Is far from his goal or going from If, soft, soft barely audible when he Is near the doing of what is required.— Martha Banning Thomas. year. Isn’t it wonderful?

We ought to be boasting oui’ Christianity and not apologizing for it. No greater hon­ our can be paid to anyone than to say that he or she is ax Christian. Personal relationship with Jes-us ought to be our most ardent desire.” It was decided to hold the next meeting of the Union on Friday ev­ ening January 3rd, when the elec­ tion of officers will take place.

With a jerk the great Christmas train came to a stop and the next mo­ ment Sylvia and Bob were tiling their way through the happy, smiling Christ­ mas passengers laden with parcels, boxes, suitcases and good will I Christ­ mas! Christmas everywhere! Off they hopped and hurried through the blinding snow storm to the house on the side of the hill, the old familiar homestead of Sylvia Bronson. There it stood in its snowy coat and Christmas welcome—much ,the same as when she had left It but a year before. “Just think, to be married on Christ­ mas, Bob. The grandest day ip the whole hurry, er!" Bob Sylvia’s arm and a genial smile of un­ derstanding. Stamping and brushing the feathery flakes from them, they opened the door and were almost smothered with greet­ ings and shouts of "Merry Christmas" from the whole family. What a sight! Christmas bells! Wed­ ding bells! The tree Itself was one glittering mass of lights and miniature bells—< bells of gold and bells of silver. Even beneath its branches stood a huge bell­ shaped. container simply loaded down with Christmas gifts—wedding gifts— all for this one night of nights!—Alice B. Palmer.
