THE SANTA PARTY
How Lots of Christmas Fun May
Be Had by Boys' Club.
r«ch Lad Provl-'ta On* Pre«*nt, Mad*
by Himtclf, for Old Kria
Kringl*'s Bag.
THE biggest buy In the club should
be tiie bantu Claus. To drear
him up, borrow a hath robe, au<l trim
It round the collar and cuff* wltlraome
aid fur. A big fur cap I* the thing
for Manta Claus' bead, and a great
big bag should be provided for him
to hung over bla shoulder to carry
the presents In. A [mper mask fid*
Bantu can be bought at some mn*lr
arore for about twenty cents, and <
hlg beard can be made of exe«ltdor>
tle<l up ao as to slug In place. It
the excelsior cub be dyed gray all the
bolter. ..>r
Koch boy In the club should pro
Tide one present for Simla's bag. II
would be better If each boy should
make the present himself, Good things
for such presents are bean bugs, base
balls, bats, shinny sticks, tops, mar
bles, short wooden swords, slings
putty blowers, Jew's-harps, soap-bubble
pipes, Jack-stones, watch-safe*, candy
chewing gum, and so on.
All the presents for the Santa Clum
purly Should be handed to u commit
lee of three knlghls, whose duty I
la to pack them all neatly in Sant;
fjltius' bag. At the time of Ihe party
the members of Ihe club should gnthei
Jogclher In the meeting room, and tin
committee may meet In u room neu
by with the big boy who I* tQ b? Sam
Guns. They tmisi dress him up an
escort him to the club. When Sunk
Ijj *l| will rise, and the prctsi
dent will say;
“Greeting, Santa Claus; the boj
await you."
Santa may reply, “Greeting, my chn
dren.” i
Then Santa passes Out the present! ]
It Is bedt for rite boys to form a line
and for Strntu to reach In thp ba;
without looking and pull out the llrai
thing that comes to bis hand.
The lust present In the bag is Stmt;
Clans'. A good deal of amusement cat
l>e hail at the party If u committee 01
five hoys Is chosen to look after tlx
entertainment. A good plan is to gel
up shadow pictures. A sheet Is hunt
up near one end of Ihe room, ahou’
five feet from the wall. Hehlml tin
sheet, close to the wall and low down
la placed a strong light. The knight
and other* who are to he the mullein
all sit In front, and when everythin
I* ready ull lights except the one h
hind the sheet are put out. The boy
who are to make the shadow picture
then go between the lighl ami the shec
and cut up all sorts ot antics, throw
ing large shadows on the sheet. It
there Is a boy who can make odn
shadow pictures with Ills bauds lie cut
amuse the club for some time
Another llilng that makes fun nt »
Mania Claus parly muy be called
the “hoy orator." A large pair of Imot-
Is provided, and the boy orator puts
his aims In these and stands back of
a table, so that Ills booted units may
look like u pair of short legs and lie
appears to be a funny little man stand
ing on the table. Another boy stands
behind him, und puts his aims through
under the orator's nnqj and makes the
gestures wldle the oriler delivers bis
Speech, i hits can be made very fanny
If Ihe orator learns a gend symarh and
If the boy who makes rtm aoatarea
waves his arms and lattice* very bad
and Inappropriate gestures. It ta espe
cially trying for the orator If the
gesturer heWv n handkerchief In tit«
hands und wipes Ids lace occasionally
or wave* It in triumph nt inappropriate
times. —The IMiaeater.
