Of course they should always be within roach of even the smallest child. When the time waa up a bell waa rung, and then tha children all stood In a row and one by one- their bags were brought up totha "lady of the party" who counteH tha nuta and wrote down each child'a name and the number he or aha had found; then tha winner waa , announced and the prise given.

The feast was very simple, little cups of bouillon with chicken sand wiches, followed by Ice cream and sponge cakes and macaroons. The birth day cake was cut bv the little hostess, who gave each child a piece; and then came th Jack Horner pie, which dif fered somewhat from that described for the grown up party, as a present was firovided for each child. These, like he other gifts, were very Inexpensive. Then cap mottoes were pulled, and about 5:30 the children were ready for another game. "Hide the nandkerchlef," and a few other old favorites filled un the time till the nurses and mother Depran to arrive, and the children, tired and happy and grasping their little gifts, were hurried home. .
