GAMES IN THE HOMS PASSING CROSSED AND UNCROSSED Suppose you are waiting for more people to come to your home and you need some little game to use before the main crowd arrives. Here are a couple of simple little trick games that are fun. Take a pair of shears or small scissors and pass them around the circle and say to the one to whom you passed them "1 received them crossed and I pass them uncrossed." Your neighbor will take them and pass them to the next person beyond him and say something the same way, but the chances are that he will not do it right. Then the next fellow tries to do it as you did or at least do it correctly . A Mystifing Trick The funny part is that a person may do it correctly and yet not know how he did it so. It is quite mystifying trick unless you watch the feet of those who do pass it correctly and notice how they say the sentence at the same time. The crossing that you speak of, in passing the shears, refers entirely to whether your knees or feet are crossed and not as to whether the shears are crossed on each other or closed or as to how you move your anqs in passing the shears. I Received Them Crossed If your knees or feet are crossed when you receive the shears and you leave them that way, you will say, "I received them crossed and pass them uncrossed." Of course if you received them with your feet uncrossed and pass them the same way, you say, "I received them uncrossed and pass them uncrossed. If you received the shears with your fctiees uncrossed and do not pass them until you have crossed your knees, you say, "I received them uncrossed and- pass them crossed." You can vary it any way you like of course and it will be some time before the others in the circle catch on as to how it is done. As soon as they think they understand how it is done, they should keep on passing the shears only with the correct sentence each time and that will show the rest of you that the new person has caught on to the trick also. You keep up the plan until all have caught on. You can mystify folks a little more by various inflections of your voice and by crossing your arms and the shears in various ways. New York Girl Another game with a slight catch in it is to say "( cough) New York girls are very pretty girls but the girls from McHenry are- prettier." You then go around the circle and each one is supposed to say it just as you do. They will doubtless try to bring in all the inflections of the voice that you do and repeat the exact words but they will not have it right. The catch in it is that you cough or clear you throat just before you say the sentence and the rest do not at first copy you in that, when you tell them to do just what you do. The test goes on around the circle. As fast as any one catches on to the trick, he simply coughs or clears his throat and then says the sentence and is declared correct. Y.ou keep up the circling until practically all have guessed it when you tell the, slow ones the trick if necessary. Of course you can say any other sentence that you like. For instancy you can ^ay, "Evelyn's fudge is varj good fudged «but Jennie's fudge U better." or any other foolish sentence^ • forestry in New Yotk flew York state maintains the larg> est forest tree nursery la the Vnlte«| States. >5 J Opportunity Calls n * Our biff SPECIAL DURING FEBRUARY is a new Full White or Gray and White 700 MNO Roper tias Range with Roper complete oven control.
