OHM'STMAS Hunting Santa Is Sport a u. a vuii0 jgj and Old & TTT EEP from the supply of Cfcrist I mas norelUes one little figure of Santa Claua (It may be a candy box or simply a figure but the former is better), in order to have the amusing game of silence form a part of the revels. Some one is decided upon who will hide the Santa, and the rest are asked to go out for a moment to the hall. The player instead of biding the figure places it in some out of the way po sition, where it will be visible, but will not immediately catch the eye of the players. . For Instance, it may be placed upon something of almost the same' color or on one end of a tall shelf or book case. Players coming in scan the room for the figure, and the first one to see It. without mentioning the fact to the others, quietly takes a seat. This is a general signal for the players to be seated, but In the excitement of the search many will full to observe that one person is no louder standing. The last person to tit down is obliged to pay a forfeit Several rounds can be played, and all those who were not caught may draw for the prize, which Is, of course, the little figure. FUN WITH FORFEITS, It would not have seemed Christmas to the old fashioned child without a game of forfeits. " The cleverest boy or girl In the room was generally made the forfeit prescriber. He or ahe would tell each player to do some impossible stunt; then, if it could not be performed, punishment was inflicted In the way of forfeits. Some of these were rude and rough, as compelling the victim to eat a cake of soap or hold his finger in the light ed candle wick. Others were Just as funny, making a bashful boy kiss the girl he likes best and a girl with no ear for music sing a carol as a solo. Shorn of the rough features of the old fashioned game, forfeits is an amusement that will keep a roomful of company laughing' when everything else fails. THE CHRISTMAS HAT. M O Sleight of hand tricks or any trick that tends to mystify always pleases the Christmas company. The follow ing, which is known as the Christmas hat, is recommended: It is played by placing two hats on a table, with the crowns upward. The performer then requests that a sugar basin may be produced, from which a lump of sugar is taken. Holding It in his fingers, he prom ises, by a wonderful process, that he will swallow the sugar and then with in a very short time place it under one of the bats on the table. The company are asked to decide which bat it shall be. Of course it is suspected that a second lump of sugar will be taken from the basin if it can be done without detection. Conse quently all eyes are fixed upon it Instead of that, after swallowing the sugar the performer place the select ed hat on his own bead and thai ful fills his undertaking. A CHRISTMAS PIE. A Jolly war to distribute Christmas gifts at a children's party is to make a huge Christmas pie out of a wash tub. Cover the outside with turkey red cloth or crape paper, pat in the presents and fill it with bran or saw. dust, run the ribbons from each pack-. age oat (on for each guest) and weight it with a small red apple, so If will rest on the floor. The cover the top of the apple with evergreen and holly sprays. Each apple should bear a card with the guest's name fastened on with a toothpick. Then on top of the pi plant aa many tiny tree (either real or artificial) aa titers are guests. When tb hostess tell them to "go to the forest and bring bom a Christ mas tree" the fun begins. Each child find hi or her name in the branches of a tree, pulls It up, and there la a dainty whit tissue paper, beribboned package. After these gift ar exam ined ther la still tb "pie." At a given signal tb apple ar pu'Wd, caoaixf a mighty upheaval of evergreen and holly, and out com the large size snapping cracker favors, the kind that contain all sort of "sur- T rises," beside the cap. Attached to thee favor ar "Jlngl" describing aome one in the party, who is to be found, and thus tb children are pslr- m for refreshments, which are served from a pretty table in tb dining room. Overhead hang eight red bells, alter nating with eight sreen bell, scarlet ribbon being Interlaced be twee them. Holly wreath may be placet on tb table.
