se regarding his future? (He'd better beware.) 9. What does he think of the opposite sex? (Hebes! Bright beauties!) 10. What does he think of the world in general? (He's becoming bewildered.) LEAF BY LEAF _Any number of players._ _Out of doors; indoors._ A basket of leaves is provided, no two of the leaves being alike. These may be leaves from trees, shrubs, or plants, or flowers may be used in the same way. The players are each provided with a card or slip of paper and a pencil, and are seated. One leaf is handed to the first player, who passes it on to the next, and so on until it has made the round of the group. Each player, in turn, if he can identify the leaf, writes the name of it on a card. Each leaf is thus passed. The host or hostess then reads a correct list, naming the leaves in the order in which they were passed. The player wins who has the largest number correct. This is an especially pleasing game for nature students. LITERARY LORE _5 to 30 or more players._ _House party._ Each player is given a sheet of paper on which the following questions are written. The player wins who writes correct answers to the largest number of questions. This game may be worked up from the writings of any poet or author. Examples are given from Tennyson and Longfellow. The answers are appended here, but in playing the game should be read by the host or hostess at the end. TENNYSON 1. What poem is it that sings down the vale?--The Brook. 2.
