Parsifal FAMOUS QUOTATIONS Nothing will be attempted if all possible Objections must be first overcome. Knowledge is of two kinds: we knew a subject ourselves or we know where we can find informa tion upon it. Who would be free, themselves must strike the blow. The only failure a man ought to fear is failure in cleaving to the purpose he sees to be best. Life being very short and the quiet hours of it few, we ought to waste none of them reading value less books. Errors like straw up on the surface. Ho who would search for pearls must dive below. GAMES Place three articles on a table in the center of a room and then announce to those present th y may touch any of the three arti cles while you are out of th.‘ room, and when you return you can tell which article they touched. The trick) is to have some one or two persons assist you by having a piece of straw which they place in their mouth. The one who goes out from the one who has the straw in of the room receives his signal his mouth- If the center article, has been toueed, the straw will be in the center of his mouth. If the others it will be either in the right or left side, according to the ar icke that has been touched. The straw need only protrude one quar ter of an inch to give the signal. If none of the articles have, been touched the straw will not show at all. .. .Observation Place from one dozen to twenty small articles on a tray and pass around the room giving each per son about 10 seconds in which to ‘"observe.” Then let each one write on a slip of paper the names of the articles as far as remembered. A few simple prizes may be given to the ones able to name the larg est number of articles, and also a booby prize. What Am » This game is played by having several pictures cut out of maga zines or newspapers and pinned on a person’s back. The person is then told that he is to guess what he represents by suggestions given by the audience, these suggestions re lating in some definite way to the pictures pinned on his back. The one from whom he gets the sug gestion must take his place for the next game. Little Coleta Williams, daughter of Rev. and Mrs F. C.
