If the Christmas fun should lag try
these sports:
Rubber quoits are always delightful
Indoors. If the disk holding the peg is
of iron or lead or lead weighted so
that it will not slide wben hit with a
quoit the game is very satisfactory.
Shufflebonrd on the extended dining
room table Is also a dandy garcs.
There Is a narrow strip of oilcloth
stretched from end to end, and on this
the smooth, round wooden disks are
shoved. A cross line Ave inches from
each end counts two for disks entirely
beyond it; a disk banging over the
end of the table counts three; a disk
that, touches the edge of the oilcloth
anywhere or that does not come entire
ly inside of a line two and a half feet
from the end counts nothing. The
trick Is to knock your high scoring op
ponent's disk or to score past him,
and only the most advanced disk
counts.
Parlor Football
There Is no reason why this Christ
mas game should not be as heartily
enjoyed by grownups as well as chil
dren. In fact, any one that under
stands the real game can become quite
scientific In the one above named.
Three things are requisite for the game
-empty eggshells, the contents having
joen expelled through pinholes punc
tured at the ends; a large, smooth ta
ble and plenty of breath, for the game
is. played with the eggshells blown
about on the table. '
Sides are chosen, and the real tac
tics of the game, so far as they are
adaptable, are observed. Other games,
such as pool and billiards, can be play
ed In this manner.
