The winner of this contest also had a prize. Of course a nut party
would hardly be complete without a peanut hunt and there was also a
peanut race in which the object was to transfer the peanuts from one
end of the room to another on the blade of a table knife.

In still another peanut contest the object was to pitch ten peanuts
into a narrow-necked jar at a distance of about twelve feet.

To choose partners for refreshments a basket of English walnuts was
passed, each little nut with a painted face and a paper cap of some
sort. Blue sailor caps, soldier caps, Red Cross nurse head-dresses,
Scotch Tam o' Shanters, babies' bonnets, girls' gay garden hats,
were all represented. There were only two of a kind, and the two
individuals who selected them were of course partners.

In addition each nut proved to be only a hollow nut shell; in one was
a conundrum, in its mate the answer.

The refreshments were nut-bread sandwiches, peanut butter sandwiches,
hot cocoa, cocoanut macaroons, vanilla ice-cream with chocolate nut
sauce, and peanut brittle.

A MAY POLE PARTY FOR CHILDREN

One teacher planned a very happy May party for her little boy and girl
pupils. There was no chance to set up a big May pole out-of-doors for
the children to wind, but her idea turned out to be more original and
maybe even more jolly.

There were eighteen children included in the party, which was held in
the park. On arriving, each child was given a little peaked paper cap
of bright colored tissue paper. The boys liked these as well as the
girls did, although they found them harder to keep in place on their
heads. As soon as the children had donned their caps, three of the
tallest children were appointed to "help teacher." This helping
consisted in marching proudly out from behind a screen of bushes,
carrying three gay little May poles, decked with flowers and colored
paper streamers. They had been made by swinging a barrel hoop from
a broomstick handle, by means of a number of ribbon-like strips of
cloth. Of course the hoops were wound with the cloth, and besides that
were trimmed with apple blossoms and lilacs.

From the rim of each hoop the cloth strips hung straight down for two
or three feet. The colors on the May pole matched the colored caps
that the children wore.
