(2) The 13th of February, 1903, came on Friday. (8) It is rather difficult to-explain a game in a small apace, but I will try. Prepare sheets of paper with the name of each individual present written writ-ten on them, and opposite the names are three columns with the words weight, height and age at the top. Each guest ia then requested to write orposite the name bis decision In regard to the height, weight and age of each person. Make out a aheet that is correct a) nearly as you can, and then find out which one has made the moat correct guesses. To the one who has the most, a prize might be awarded. The fun comes frrna ascertaining the correct height and weight Tb- height ia determined by measurement ths weight by someone who ia expert on guessing weights, unless you should happen to have scales 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 the correct paper aa the height weight and age Is read off, and the difference between his guess and the correct one he places in a separate sep-arate column. When these are added up the smallest number is the nearest correct Another game which causes greaj amuse-Dv.nt amuse-Dv.nt is to place a large smooth apple on the floor and have each one try in turn to pick the apple up on a teaspoon, without the use of the fingers. To the one picking up the ! apple the greatest number of times in one minute goes the priae of the apple. Call ayain. Dear Miss Brooks: We have been reading your Interesting Conner, Con-ner, and would like to ask a few questions. (1) When waa Hallowe'en first started, and who did it get Its name? (2) In giving a party how could you entertain boys and girls from lb age of fourteen to aixteen if the boys dta't dance? (3) If a very dear girl friend of yours waa Introduced to a boy, and you were not and he took a liking to you, and you received a letter from him, should you answer? BABE. TOOTS, PEGGY, Utah. Very glad you find my corner Interesting. You are welcome. (1) Hallowe'en, or Hallow-even, Hallow-even, ia the evening of Oct. tl. That evening even-ing Is so-called, however, because it ia the eve of the Christian festival of All SainU ihlch falls on November 1. It means Holy Eve. About thirteen centuries ago pagans eele-' eele-' bra ted November 1 aa All Saints Day, when spirits, both good and evil, were believed to be on earth. The Druids also celebrated their harvest featlval about that time, and many atrange ceremonies were performed, and so the Hallowe'en diversions of today are some which originated centuries ago. The name cornea from the old English word "halwe," or aa we now aay, holy. (2) In this aame issue you will find this answer for "Darkle." (3) If yon know this boy is respectable in every way, but you should use discretion. Dear Miss Brooks: Will yoo pleaae eniwer a question for me? I like a boy very much who la the same age I am. We went together about three months and then we had a quarrel and quit Another of my boy friends tells me this boy still loves me but he Is going with another girl he does not like as well. What can I do to get him back? As ever, PINK, Wyo. Nothing for ou to do, dear. He will return re-turn to you if he w( hes to. You can be pleasant pleas-ant and agreeable when you find yourself In his society, but it ia not your privileve or p'ace to make overtures to him In any way, unleva, of one, jou srer at fault wln your "quarrel" occuned It Is always "right" to admit you were "wrong," you know.
