Prist for Bast Gum Now to d--cribe a few simple games that we can all play at home. I will appreciate it very much if you will write in to me a short description of games that you are now using or have used in your home, which you all enjopad. Just to encourage you in this, we will give a good book of games to the one who sends in the best story of such games. Moreover, your games can bo shared with others later and you be given credit for sending them in. Here is a simple game aroaad the evening meal, which creates a lot of interest over a considerable period of time in seme families. It can be called, "Something Nw", In other words, every member of tin family tries to tell the other members some- 6M, Bat It's Hot! That's what they say before entering our plaee.

Florence could give a fine suggestion of something she saw in a shop window that Would be fun to make for Grandmother, ana Junior might tell you that your town or community had bought a new fire engine and describe it or tell what phone number to call to get the police quickly. Some of the simplest bits of information that could be told by the youngest members of the family might be the least known and yet more interesting and helpful. Of course, you will have to have some kind of understanding in the family as to what "news" will be admissible and be square with each other end not claim to have known it beforehand unless you actually did. Have any of you tried this! I'd like,, to h««r how it' woiffed. Hfcproglyplucs Can (you read Hieroglyphics ? Your partner goes out of the room and the rest of those present tell you a word that you are to tell him or else something that you are to tell him to do. You have a walking stick or cane in your hand with which you make all kinds of weird motions on the floor, you can claim that yoa are writing Egyptian or Assyrian heiroglyphics. You spell out the word to your partner and the rest try to guess how you tell him. The first letter of the second word in your sentence can be the first letter of the word you are spelling out. For instance you are instructed by the group to tell your partner to sing. When he comes in the room, you say something like this, "Florence seems to want . to show you up tonight." Your partner knows that your second word is the word "seems" and begins with Ms" and knows that "s" is the first letter of his word. Translating Heiroglyphics Meanwhile you are all the time making motions with the stick which he and the crowd are watching very closely to see if you are telling him the word by spelling it out in some way on the floor. Your partner is apparantly trying to decipher or to translate your weird hieroglyphics. As a matter of fact, all your motions and hieroglyphics are simply to fool the onlookers. Now the second letter of the word "sing," which you want to give your partner is a vowel, "i. you tell him this by taps with your cane as you draw on. the floor. You know the vowels, "a, e, i, o, u." "1" is the third vowel, so that you makf three taps on the floor with your stick and he counts the,vowels as you tap and knows that the second letter of the word is "s." You then say something like this, "How near do that the ftmrth let* and that •as* he is. clue to tha way. T«fe jBtve Towel* In other WMWls, you tap oat the number of tts vowels on the 'floor following tbehreorrect order. Yon use for the first letter' of your second .word the consonant yoa wish each time. It is possible of course to change your system and use the third or fifth word of your sentance to give your chie or yon can change each time he comes in.
