Are You Nosey? IF you have a youdgster'in the household who's getting too nosey about what he or she is go- ing to be brought by Santa, and is nosing around for possible caches of gifts, this puzzle maze can be a distraction. It requires the solve to be "nosey," i.e., to try to count with- in one minute or two all, the noses in sight.

DOTOGRAPHS 3' s Motion Picture • irEM T�1O you know that one of the 1J very earliest forms of "initials picture" was a card slotted so that slips of paper could be run through it to make the eyes or mouth move? It's true. You can have a provocative set of animated "place -cards for your holiday dinner by using this draw- ing as a model. Prepare copies with the help. of carbon or trac- ing paper. Insert strip at bottom (above) through the slits in the reindeer's eyes. The strip can be pulled back and forth to cause the rein- deer's eyes to move. Color the copies appropriately. aLf 'flO13BY, at top right, and Bill, at bottom left, wish to ex- change gifts; likewise Barbara:, at top left, and Bess, at bottom right. A game can be made of effecting the swaps. Using black and white buttons to represent the gifts, see if yqu can make the transfers within 16 moves. . Begin by placing white buttons on circles 1 and 3; black buttons on circles 6 and 8. Then, moving the buttons along straight lines, rearrange them so that the place- ment scheme is reversed, That is, whites are to occupy circles 6 and 8, and blacks circles 1 and 3. Only one move at a time is per- missible and only one button may occupy a circle. Remember, object is to get blacks to 1 and 3; whites, 6 and 8. BAti 'ca 'TEC 'Mk'1'£f '9M. 'La 'TM.

Start with Santa at upper right and find the shortest route that will take him to the five houses shown -that is, the one route that will enable him to avoid time- consuming dead-end pathways. Santa's path should not cross' itself, nor should it be necessary for him to retrace his step's. How quickly can you guide him through this part of his rounds?

But if you move the page steadily closer to your eyes, you'll see that actually he is placing it in her hands.
