GAMES TO PLAY. A PARTY GAME.

Your sides will ache when you have finished- playing this game. Do suggest; it at your party. Every one sits round the room in a circle—on chairs or on the.floor, it doesn't matter which. Then one of the players throws a balobn in the air. While the balloon is going up you must all laugh, but when it is coming down you must stop. And; any one who laughs when it is coming, down is out," and you play on until only one—the winner—is left. Of course, it's awfully hard to stop yourself laughing, especially after the game is well started. '■. , A PLAYGROUND GAME. Any ; number of players can join in this game, bo you ca.n play it in the playground. All the players have to stand in a ring, folding their arms, except (One, and he has the ball. The idea of ■ the game is to throw it from one to the other/and as soon as he has thrown it, to cross his arms. Of course, the player to whom it has been thrown has to fling out his hands to catch it, or it will drop to the ground, and if it does this, ho is out, so naturally he wants to avoid this if he can. So you see the game depends really upon how quickly you can fold and upfold the' arms. And you play it until there is only one player left in the game. , You'll thoroughly enjoy playing this game. I know. It is such a chance from the usual ball catching games.
