If not, don't lose any time, but gat busy at once. Wo want a real Thanksgiving this year and let our boys and girls blazethetrail. Here are some games you •can play at the party; they ate all good: The game of conversation: This game is an excellent one to start out .with at a social affair and it causes a great deal of amusement and real entertainment. " Slips 'of paper are handed to each person, each slip containing five lines, The young men are to seek five young ladies whose names are filled in 'en the lines, the young ladies putting the names of their partners thus obtaihed on their own programs. When all are filled out, the game is ready to begin. The host instructs each young man to find Inc first partner and annoui nes a subject on which the young than Must talk to the young laxly for a full Minute, after which the young ,lady will give her own 'views on the same suNect for another minute. A signal should be given to inform the couples of the Gine of starting 'and ending of each period, and the subject—which is known Inn advance only to the hest— should net be given but 'until after the first signal to start has been given. This same method le followed five times, with a change of couples and a different subject each time. Thus the young inert find theinseIVes obliged to discuss :such questions as woman suf- frage, league of nations, baseball teams, etc., upon a moment's notice, and the young ladies the same. A prize for the best conversational- ist, and a booby prize, may er may not be awarded. If this 'is desired, it is a good idea to provide each person with five lunips•af.sugar and dye nuts, and if the person thinks Ino partner is a good conversationalist he will present the -pastime with a lump of sugar; if he thinks not, •a nut may be presented, When the ,ganie is over, the poen with the most sugar: will be entitled to the fled prize and the one With the Most nuts the booby prize, Imitations: Forn1 a 'circle around the outer edge .'of the morn, The leader goes to the centre. Three juceges are placed so that they can see all the players: As the music begins, the leader goes through all kinds of funny movements with head, hands, feet or body, makes faces or imitates the movements of birds or beasts. All the players must try to do the same move- ments 'simultaneously with the leader. When the music stops (generally in about thirty seconds), the judges must decide which player, made the best at- tempt at reproduoing the antics of the leader. This decided, the winner goes to the entre and leads, "Tucker": A leader stands in the centa+e of' a circle without a partner. All the 'others get partners, and when the tetrad calls out "March," they circle around hits] vuith their partnere. Then the leader cans, "Girl on the, outside and boys on the in- d'a," and they change places: The second call is "Girls march in front of boys,!' and the girls step in front of their part- ners, but all steep marching in a circle. The third call is, "Halt and face your partners," then, "Grande right and left," and the girls vrincl in and out in one direction and the hoes in the other. Suddenly the leader caps!
