Joyous celebrations throughout the nation will welcome in 1942 on the stroke of 12 Wednesday night Tbis young miss takes her celebrat ing quite seriously as she blows 0 it the old year at a party in New To. t. New Year's parties are al- . ways fun, but they will achieve new life and interest if several new games are included with the old favorites. Spelling bees and guessing contests have been played for many years, but a few modern vari ations of these games can make them more popular than ever. Spell sdrawkcaB Little enthusiasm will probably be noticed when a good old-fashioned spelling bee is announced. Bpfore the game is over, however, t' -guests will probably be wonderi: z if they ever knew how to spell, be cause the words in this contest must be spelled backwards. A little competition will enliven the game, so arrange the guests into two or three teams, then tell them that to save embarrassment the words will all be simple ones. Each contestant will be eliminated from the game when he makes his sec ond miss, and the first team to be spelled down loses the game., After casually announcing that the words must be spelled backwards and with no "second chance" if a wrong start is made, start the game going with simple words such as dog, cat, boy and so on. Vvhen the players have caught on, make the words increasingly diffi cult. To keep the game moving and to dispel any possible suspicion of favoritism it is best to read tha words from a list prepared in ad. vance. Guessing Time. '"! Anybody can estimate the length of a second, but few people know how long two or three minutes will last. Have the guests sit in a circle around the room and announce that you are going to ask them to esti mate the amount of time it takes for four minutes to pass. Clap your hands when the four minutes is to start To prevent the guests from counting out the time tu themselves, pass around some more refreshments, or if someone can play the piano, sing a song they all know. This will not last more than a min ute or two, and it will throw the players completely off count Then sit in silence, waiting for the time to pass. Soon the guests will begin calling off "four minutes," and from there on the game will take care of itself. The "secret of success" at a par ty of this kind is to play each game only a short time before changing to a new game. No matter how much the guests are enjoying a game, it is advisable to stop the game after a few minutes and change to some thing else. Resolutions 'Silly,' Psychiatrist Says New Year's resolutions are just a bit silly in the opinion of Dr. Francis J. Gerty, professor of psychiatry at Loyola university. He believes that a person who makes resolutions is something of an ex hibitionist in addition to being quite childish. "And moreover," he adds. 'he probably won't carry it out any way." Dr. Gerty asserts that New Year s resolutions have little value. "1 don't think resolutions are the best methods r.f curbing our little dif ficulties and correcting ourselves. The best method is giving some thought to what causes our troubles and trying to correct them ration ally. "People must remember there are human limitations. Humans can't' be perfect They should do the best they can without straining, for the minute they strain, as they do with New Year's resolutions, they make a botch of their efforts." Children especially should not be encouraged to make resolutions, in his opinion. "A child should be taught to do the best job he can at ell times and not save his dif ficulties for one particular time and tear them up by one superhuman effort that is almost sure to fail." Kef, U
