GAMES, AS USUAL, MAKE IDEAL GIFTS FOR CHRISTMAS

Many New ‘Sports’ Are on Exhibit BY JULIA BLANSHARD NEA Service Writer "NEW YORK, Dec. 11. —Christmas offers a perfect opportunity for making all your friends and relatives game sports. With home-en-tertaining as popular as it is, this idea of giving games for Yuletide gifts has a lot of point to it. Anew way of amusing the home circle of friends, or anew means of entertaining the children is likely to be very welcome. "Competitive games always are popular in America. The bridge controversies this year proved that. Kibitzers Not Forgotten Whether you play bridge this way or that, there are charming new playing cards in modernistic designs, others in disguised initials so that they look like chorus girls, some in steeplechase design and others in exquisite scenes that travelers will like. Camelot comes to the front as an exciting game for two or four, with the last two kabitzers. Last year it was merely a competitive game. This year all sorts of gaming hazards arc worked out, with an official score system that permits a lucky player to win 500 points by a half dozen judicious moves. This game, a cross between checkers and chess, is an excellent home game lor two. Another Fine Home Game Backgammon is another fine home game, with the widest variety of boards, some being boxes that contain the men, others being leather or painted cloth covers for bridge tables, and still others being exquisite inlaid tables, just for backgammon. Roulette wheels delight young folks and come in all sizes. Horse Race is among the newest and most fascinating games that more than two can really play. Anybody who has gone anywhere on a boat knows just what a big place horse races occupy in the day’s pleasure routine. This game now comes all ready to set up, the hurdles, dice, enameled horses and handicaps in the parlor. Dice-Keno New Game Ping pong sets and indoor croquet and golf are exciting, too, for families where there are several children. Dice-keno is anew game, a cross between keno and kotto, which children like. Pegity is having a run, out in anew version, the result of the prince of Wales playing it last summer. There are dozens of new games based on the old authors idea. Flinch, Crow, Rook, Pit, Quit, Bunco, Boy Scouts, Touring, Wings, Rummy, History, Georgraphy and 1 so on. They all are interesting diversions and children in their teens are 1 apt to play them endlessly. Dominoes in Vogue Again Dominoes are having a vogue among adults again, and they come in fine little sets that are very decorative. Anagrams stand high in favor among both adults and youngsters and there now are variations of just plain old Anagrams that are exciting, though real Anagram players need no variation to stay up until morning playing. If you have a mind to spend a little more money there are some fascinating electrical games that adults as well as children would find diverting. Electrical derby day, electrical auto races and other games with hazards are arranged so there is still the element of chance left in.
