A good game for the spare mo-. ment. One player smiles broadly, placer his hand over his face. gathers up the smile. leaves his lace. grim. and proceeds to throw the smile to another player who must catch it and put it on. He then removes it as the other had dons and throws it to someone else.

' Number Team

Divide your players into two teams to stand at one end of the room. and at the other, facing them, have two umpires, one for each team.

At the word "Go" the first play i er in each teams runs up to his umpire. who asks him a question with an answer in numbers These questions may be of any type for instance. "How many in two and twopence?" "Divide eighteen by four?" and so on. As soon as the first player of the team has answered his question satisfactorily he runs back and the second player runs up and so the race continues. The winning i team is the first back into posi- tion. In order to make the same quite fair it is a good idea to play it twice through so that the umpires may be changed 0Vel'-

5 Old Christmas Customs

Noel signifies "good news". and it has been the greet- tlig of the sciason since the earliest observance of Christmas." 'At Christmastlme in many vill- iges of Holland a star. typical of he Star of Bethlehem, is carried rough the dark. silent streets. liiie offerings for the poor are gathered from the onlookers. tin Russia and in Poland "every- iiie waits for the shining of the Ohristmas star.

works. But everywhere. in the churches and in the homes of the people, little models of Bethlehem and the stable where Christ was born are made. some of them in- deed quite large and many very elaborate. showing ithe Christ child lying in the manger, with the Vir- gin Mary and Joseph near. and the Wise Men bringing their gifts. and all the animals about: on the hills beyond, the shepherds can be seen with their flocks, while above them are angel: with bright wings These little models become a kind of Christmas shrine. prayers are offered by them and the children stand before them and sing their songs. Little scenes like this are also set up in Spain. and in France and in Italy, and often the child- ren help in making them" But for a day such as this Christian youth must content itself not with a min- iature replica of the manager scene but must in reality bring its gifts to a Christ new-born in our hearts and in our purposes. . Perhaps the; most significant ciirtttmss custom.of all is one that. it observed in Poland and Lithua- nia. It is the breaking and eating of the Peace Water. The village priest supplies each member of the family and each guest in the house with the wafers, which are sym- bolic of "peace on earth." The partakers break and eat the Peace Wafers as good Christmas wishes are exchanged. How will this bit of ceremony be observed this year, is a thought that comes to all of us.
