A Christmas Game.

A Yuletide version of tbe donkey party is played thus: On a sheet sketch or paste a design of a Christmas tree. Have each branch of tbe tree terminate in a circle containing a number, using tbe numbers from one to ten or one to twenty-five, according to the size of the tree. Each person playing is blindfolded tn turn and is given a rosette with which he must “decorate the tree.” Each person aims to pin bls or her rosette on or near to the highest number of the tree. Each competitor has three trials, tbe three numbers to which be pins nearest being written down to his credit by the hostess, who keeps tally. The one whose three numbers added together give the largest sum total wins tbe first prize.
