Dear Jladam My huaband haa taken a Sun

to twrlvo year of age We dealre to Invito
the claaa to our home aom evening, ao aa to
draw them clnaer to their teacher nnd Io get
them mor Intereeted In Sunday achool work.
Will you kindly auggeat aom way of entertnln

written Invitation to each one'a homo, or Invito
them while they nro In ataalon nt tho Sunday
achool? A ao, plenao give me n reclpa tn make

Probably tho boat w-ny would ba to imlc
them after Sunday school to go to your liouuo
somo evening, Written ln nations always
make an affair of this kind ruther formal,
I think. Vou will nnd In different depart
ment stores a number of books on Karnes
which will lve you an Inflnlto variety
from which to choose. Them Is n irame
called "word building;" In which each player
Is allowed nvo or ten minutes, us llrat
agreed upon, to go through u book In
search of a word Insldo of which Is found
another, as, for Instance. In "progress" Is
found tho word "ogre"; "Itch" Is built out
of "witch," nnd so on
Something calling for mora action prob
ably will Interest bojs of this ago "Hobo's
hat" Is Interesting Ilavo ready a soft
hat or cap an old ona which can be
thrown around without Injury to Its ap
pearance. Tho players form In two lines
facing each other. Sldea draw for load,
and when one sldo has won the person at
the head of that line whirls the hat In the
air; then the second, and so on. If It falls
rigni siao up tne division which throw It
must remain grave and silent, whtlo tha
opponents must all laugh heartily. If, on
the contrary, It falls lining side up, those
who threw It must laugh, while the other
side remains sober. If any one player
falls to observe these rules he must be
relinquished to the other side. Of course,
the side having the most players at the
end of the game wins.
Contests with a catch In them are al.
ways diverting, and one or two of these
may be Introduced Into a program to trip
up the unwary. To play "chango places"
the players sit In a circle, except the, leader,
who wir. start the telling of a story, He
ahould stand He tells It rapidly. Inventing
l as he goes, and here and there will In
troduce the words, "Change places," No
attention mut be paid to this direction
unless to It Is added, "Santa Claus Is
here," when all must Jump up nnd change
places. During the confusion tha ha.
endeavors to slip Into a vacant chair, and
If he Is successful the player who Is left
out becomes the story-teller. To add to the
excitement the leader should frequently
yeera on the brink of giving the sentence,
but change It at the end, so that the
magic words are not spoken In full. Thus,
he might say. "Change places. Santa
rlaim will ,n." in. ,,ii.r T!. .".

so hungry recounting all thoso appetizing
things"
We wnlkod swiftly down tho road border
ing tho Inko until wo came to n row of
Imposing old pines
"Hero's tho place," said Dicky,
I saw a magnificent old mansion, but to
my mind It looked strangely desortcd.
"Dicky, there's no imioke coming out of
thoso chlmncjs," I said "Aro you euro
tho placo In open?"
"Now. don't begin to croak," returned
Dicky, but his tnno betrayed doubt, nnd ho
fairly rushed me around to tho entrance to
the building.
On tho door thcro was displayed a largo
sign
"For rent Caretaker wilt Bhow tho

HOUSEHOLD HELPS
How You Can Help Reduce the High Cost of Buying
IN A previous article It was shown how
the practice, Into which the stores hare
been forced delivering every Item, no mat
ter If the coit of delivery exceeded the cost
of tho article was one of the causes of
high coats. Hut there are other practices,
too, which have grown to be part of the
retAlt l.nler'. service for which the con -
sumer must pay. These rectors nrc mo
"charge" custom and the custom of allow
ing liberal exchange privileges
While tho "charge account" system has
grown to be) one of the ordlnnry conve
niences which wo accept from our dealers,
there Is no doubt thnt It Is by no means
a commendable custom either for the re
taller or for tho buyer. A splendid rrfotner
I know once declared to mo thnt ahe made
It a custom to pay cash for every Hem ns
she bought It. and her reasons were good
ones.
"Kvcr since my little girl was big
enough to be sent to the store ocastonally
I have mndo It an Inflcxlblo rule to pay
cash on the spot for everything I buy
WhyT Simply because I want to train
her from tho beginning In right wnjs of
spending money.
"It's my firm opinion that much of the
extra vngnnco of which the average Ameri
can Is accused Is duo to tho 'charge' habit.
Whatever sho sees and likes sho orders,
becauso It Is so enny to say, 'Send It and
chnrgo It, to my account' If you have to
look In your purse to seo whether you hnvo
enough money to pay for your purchdse,
you think twlco beforo buying You have
to plan your purchasing very carefully
when you know thnt alt your family's
needs must come out of the cash you hnvo
