Peanut candy is served, and at the end peanuts are jabbed
for with hat pins. For this all gather at different little tables, or
turns are taken at one table, the peanuts being piled up in the center.
A box of candy is given the winner. This he or she, of course, passes
among the guests.
A CHILDREN'S FAIR
This may be made not only enjoyable, but charitable as well. Tables
holding fancy work--preferably the work of the children--candies
(home-made), groceries, aprons, pen-wipers, iron-holders, hand-painted
cards, capes, etc., etc., may be sold. Rebecca sits at the Well--a
well of lemonade. A grab-bag, an orange tree, with saleable parcels
on it. A post-office, where letters are sold, and finally a refreshment
table or tables, the little girls and boys serving as waiters, in
costumes.
SOAP BUBBLES
Making bubbles requires no great effort of the mind or body. Clay pipes
for the players are furnished by the hostess. Bowls are filled with
water which is quite soapy. The pipes show the colors of the side or
sides, being tied with ribbons of different colors. The game contest
may be decided in two ways.
