PARTY FUN

DOES YOUR NOSE KNOW This game is to identify materials by scent alone. For receptacles, one can use small paper bags. Paste numbers on them, and into each bag put a fragment of something discernible by smell, keeping a record thereof. Blow the bag as though to pop it, and tie the top, leaving an extra yard, of string. The bags can be hung here and there about the house nt convenient height. With scissor.'? snip a hole near the top to sniff at. A hundred smells are easily available to select from: Fruits of vegetables. raw, scorched, or spoiled: familiar chemicals, cosmetics, petroleum products, and so on. Answers include usually one or more adjectives. To leave one bag empty unbeknown is an idea—say for No. 13. The high score contestant is accredited with knowing the most promptly Avhen it will be wise to keep his nose out of- anything.
