GAME OF GHOSTS
This game must be played when it is dark. Two players are the ghosts, and the rest are children; the children form in a line, and the two ghosts -come creeping up and hide near a chair. At the word “Go” the light is switched out, and the children run and try to get to the other side of the room without the ghosts catching them. If one or two are caught they must he taken to the ghosts’ den, when all the children are caught except the biggest one, who is supposed to he the mother.' The mother goes home and hides Eer eyes* and counts fifty, Meanwhile the ghosts hide her children. The mother goes and looks for them till she finds them. She takes them home and puts them to bed. The game goes on—it is a very exciting game. LILLY GWILLIM.
