The peanuts are eaten at
the end of the game, and a prize of a box of candy is given the winning
side or child. This is passed about to the guests.
PEANUT HUNT
Some peanuts must be secretly hidden in out-of-the-way places--in
bric-a-brac, etc. Give a pretty bag or box to be used as a receptacle
for the peanuts, and then the hunt begins. The one getting the most
peanuts, receives a prize. He may eat all the peanuts he finds, after
the contest is decided, but a lesson in unselfishness is here possible.
The hostess may suggest sharing the peanuts with one who _tried hard_
to find many nuts, but did not succeed; or, if there be a lame child,
or one deformed, he or she should receive some of the nuts of the
winners, and of those the others find.
A PEANUT PARTY
The invitations have peanuts painted on them, so have little menu
cards, which are placed at each plate at the table. These designs are
often funny, and even grotesque, as they represent brownies, etc.
Peanuts are strung as necklaces, bracelets, etc. Some of the sandwiches
are made of mashed peanuts--called peanut butter--and they are
delicious.
