Games for Young and Old
During the Happy
Holiday Season
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
A FUh Fond.
For a child's party, convert a Uble
into a flih pond by leaving out ont
leaf in th middle and covering the
table with a green cloth, with a hole
in the center over the space. Have
Kme one with a number of email
toyi sitting under the table, and, ai
the children drop their lines from
rods through the hole, let him at
tach the toys to the hooks.
Hunting (or the North Pole. .
Select a corner, doorway or stair
post for the pole. Blindfold each
child, turn him around three times,
and tell him to find the pole.- A
corn ball wrapped in white tissue,
' would be a good "snowball" prize.
Shooting Polar Bean.
Take turns throwing marbles at a
white teddy bear perched on a stand
" Give a prize to the one who can hit
and push him Over.
Digging in the Drift .
Have the children dig with a toy
spade for favors in a deep pan of
. white confetti.
Old Woman 'and Witch.
Cut diagram of shoe from wrap
1 ping paper. Lay on floor and ask
children and one who is named "the
old woman" to stand on it. Cut an
other diagram of bush, and station
one called "a witch" on it. Have
the "old woman" tell her children to
go out to play. Then she must call
them in. The witch must try to
catch as many of the children as
possible before they get home and
take all she catches to her bush
home.
Obstacle Race.
Place sofa cushions, potted plants
and any articles that may be in the
room on the floor. Tell each child
to notice the articles carefully. Then
Then blindfold each in turn and tell
him to walk across the room with
out hitting the objects. After he is
blindfold each in turn and tell
jeets, leaving the floor clear. The
joke, is to see him walk, lifting his
feet high and being careful not to
tread on the supposed obstacles.
An Experiment in Telepathy.
Suggest to the company that, if
they will think hard about the points
of the compass, after they have
blindfolded you and turned you
around three times, you can point ac
curately to north, south, east or
west. This is the secret. There
must be a clock in the room that
ticks loud enough to be heard no
matter where you stand. Decide
beforehand the exact position of the
points of the compass. Then ob
serve their position with reference
to the clock. When you are blind
folded, you can easily get your bear
ings by the ticking of the clock.
A New Tag Game for Outdoor.
Some member of the company is
"it" and tries to tag another. The
other, when tagged, instead of be
coming "it," joins hands with the
first and together they try to tag
someone. The ; third tagged joins
hands with the first two and the two
end persons have the privilege of tag
ging the rest. So the game pro
ceeds until the last one has been
tagged and the "line" is complete.
Guess "Who It Is." " ,
Divide the company into couples.
Poor, Teeth Are
Danger to
Health
Beauty and good health are no
where so closely linked together as
, in the care of the teeth. Nothing
spoils a person's appearance more
than bad teeth. And bad teeth are
as detrimental to health as to good
looks. ' ,
It is only within the last decade or
so that the full significance of having
sound teeth has been appreciated.
For many cases of severe anemia,
gastric disturbances, rheumatism,
- heart disease and some mental dis
eases to defective and infected teeth.
Early and thorough care of the
teeth cannot be overemphasized. The
prevailing idea seems to be that it
' is nof necessary to care for the
baby teeth because they are soon re
placed by others. It the first teeth
decay too soon for lack of proper
care and have to be extracted earlier
than nature intended, the regular
eruption of the second teeth is in-
. terfered with, for the first teeth as
sist in the proper development of
the jaw.
While practically all other tissues
or the body are renewed when injur
ed, nature makes no provision for
repairing or replacing the teeth, once
the permanent ones are established
, In view of this thev should receive
the most careful attention of any part
of the body.
Decaying teeth contain many
forms' of bacteria, some of them dis
tinctly dangerous. These are mixed
and swallowed with food. In the
cases of abscesses or ulcerations the
. pus is swallowed and poisons the
whole system. Tartar which collects
on the teeth is believed to be of
bacterial origin and causes the gums
to recede, leaving the roots exposed
and susceptible to other bacteria.
Pyrorrhoea is a disease of the gums
. which causes little abscesses to form
about the roots of the teeth. It does
not cause much pain, but the pus
from the bleeding gums is swallowed
or absorbed by the gums infection
'sets uo m other parts of the body.
The teeth may be preserved for a
lifetime if stiven proper attention.
They should be brushed at least
twice a day, on retiring and in the
morning. The ideal care is to wash
them after each meal and polish them
thoroughly at night with a mild paste
or powder. It the teeth are brushed
but once in 24 hours this should be
just before retiring, for it is during
the mght that the aad secretions
caused by decaying food begin to
operate.
The teeth should be brushed with
an oral, up and down movement;
never straight across. Strong chem
icals, antiseptics and germicides
sAoold not be used. They are apt
yio injure or destroy the enamel cov
If'tring of the teeth, and when once
this is gone the-tooth pulp, with
; Mtnury at) protect it, is an easy prey
6 V At least twice a year the
teet. . jsald be given a thorough ex-
...ai by j
Supply each person with pencil and
paper. Ask each couple to talk to
gether five minutes. Then separate
them, placing the girls in one room,
boyi in another, and ask each to
write a description of the one be or
she talked with, giving height, color
oi hair and eyes, disposition, char
scteristics, etc. Number the papers.
A reader gathers them up, and, as
each is read, the guests guess "who
it is."
A Motion Picture Gift.
Tack a large sheet in a doorway
between two rooms. Darken the
room where the audience is seated
and place a bright light behind the
sheet. Ask one person to go to this
room, select from a table a gift, step
close to the screen, with the light be
hind him, and express in movements
the nature of the gift. The tirst per
son guessing correctly will then take
his turn in acting.
New Year's Resolution. -
Provide guests with papers and
pencils. Kead 10 letters of the ai
phabet and ask your guests to copy
them as read. Then tell them to
choose a New Year's resolution of
10 words, each word to begin with
one of the letters read, in the same
order as read. ,

Handkerchief Checkers).
Seat guests in chairs, forminsr a
circle. One stands in the middle and
throws a handkerchief into the lap
of one who is seated. He in turn
passes or throws it to another and
he to another, as quickly as possible.
The person standing in the. middle
must touch the one holding the
handkerchief before he can throw it
to another. The person thus touched
then changes places with the one
standing.
Confetti Shower.
Buy a quantity of crepe paper
confetti, bulk, assorted colors. Make
caps for the girls and aprons for the
boys to match the various colora of
confetti. On arrival of the guests,
have each put on her cap or his
apron. Then throw confetti in the
air and promise prizes to the girl or
boy who can collect the greatest
number of pieces of confetti the
color of her cap. ,
As to Knickers
From Atlantic City we learn
that at last the Boardwalk has
been invaded by the knickered
woman, or to be correct, it was
treated to the sight of two knick-er-clad
members of the feminine
set. And yet, the fad has not
been taken up by the women
with any of the vim it was pre
dicted to provoke, but rather the
men approved and with them at
present it is quite the rage.
