thanksgiving Festivities
For Our Boys and Girls
Well, young folks, have you planned
a good thanksgiving party? 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!
"Tucker," and eaptures a partner of
the opposite sex 1f the can. The one'
whe does not get a partner is leader

did. He went without —, and —,

he had to tighten his belt a notch
every day. But at the end cf each week
he put aside ---- in the little — on

went out with her — on her arm
looking for the biggest — she could
find for the money. At last she found
it and had enough money left over for

rushing in to Tonmly, "see the beauti-
