(2) The 13th of February, 1903, came on Friday. (3) It U rather difficult to explain a same tn a small apace, but I will try. I'repare sheet of paper with the name of each individual present written writ-ten on them, and oppolte the name are three column with the words weight, height and age at the top. Each guest 1 then requested to writ opposite the name his decision In regard to the height, weight and age of each person. Make out a sheet that Is correct, as nearly as you can, and then And out which one has made the most correct gueues. To the one who ha the most, a prlte might be awarded. The fun come from ascertaining the correct height and weight. The height Is determined by measurement, the weight by someone who is expert on guessing weights, unless you should happen to have scale sufficiently suf-ficiently large. Each person's age will be found on their own paper. Each person "corrects" "cor-rects" his own paper by checking up with tha correct paper as the heleht. weight and age Is read oil,, and the difference between hi trues and the correct one he places In a separate sep-arate column. When these are added up the smallest number la the nearest correct. Another game which cause great amusement amuse-ment Is to place a large smooth apple on the floor and have each one try In turn to pick the pple up on a teaspoon, without the use of the finger. To the .one picking up the apple the greatest number ot times In one minute goes til prlte ot the apple. Call again.

That evening even-ing Is so-called, however, because It Is the eve of tho Christian festival of All Saints, which fall on November 1. H means Holy Eve. About thirteen centuries ago pagans celebrated cele-brated November I a All Saint Day, when spirits, both good and evil, rt:r btlleved to be on earth, Tho Druid also celebrated their harvest festival about that time, and many strange ceremonies were performed, and so the Hallowe'en diversions of today are some which originated centuries ago. The name comes from the old- English word "halwe." or as we now say, holy. (S) In this same Issue you will find this answer .for "Darkle."
