Interesting Games.— If you have company ask your guests to seat themselves in a circle, and then the host begins by saying, « I have in mind a Woman of great nobility of character. She risked her own life to save the lives of a crew who , were being tossed on a rough sea. She was young and frail but she thought not of herself, so "she Graved the storm and And by the time the storyteller gets to this point some one in the company will haveguessed that n.^Vl - g bb ° Ut GraCC Darlin S> and she will call out that heroine s name. Then she takes the centre of the circle, and she enlarges on some character well known in history or literature, and the one who guesses it must call out the name, etc.- The game is an interesting one, and most instructive, and can be made to suit children of any age.— Another game is ' Birthdays. T.ack a large calendar on the wall, or an improvised one, containing 31' squares, from 1 to 11 in regular order Provide each guest with a slip of muslin or paper bearing the date of his birth Th*e game is to walk blindfolded to the calendar and oin your paper to it. The one pinning his date nearest to the same date on the calendar wins the prize Forinstance, if your birthday is the 30th of April you should try to pin the paper as: near as possible to the 30 on the calendar. . w
