WHAT AN I MAL I S IT? Ruth Dixon Here is an animal only three-and-one-half feet long and only 20 pounds in weight, who fights successfully with forest creatures several times his size. He can leap from tree to tree and run fast. His scientific name is MUSTELA PENNANTI or MARTES PENNANTI, but can you guess his everyday name? He lives with his wife and four babies high in a hollow treetop. He is particularly fond of eating frogs, fishes, and porcupines. Hunters like the fur of these fearless animals and hunt them in the forested parts of Canada and the United States. There aren't too many of them left. THIS ANIMAL IS A MY NAME. AGE. STREET.

Have the players form two lines. At the opposite end of the room place two folding chairs and two buckets, each containing a pair of canvas work gloves and an umbrella. At the word "go," the first ones in each line run to the chairs, unfold them, sit down, put on the gloves, open the umbrellas, put their feet in the buckets and say, "It ain't gonna rain no more, no more. It ain't gonna rain no more!" Then they each step out of the bucket, remove the gloves, close the umbrella and fold up the chair before returning to their teams. They go to .the end of the line and the next two players repeat this until one of the teams has finished. The first to do so, wins! Janie'ti Jumbles Jane McHenry Now's the time for April showers! Let's make words from rain by adding a letter or two. Here are the clues: (Answer to No. 1 is brain.) 1. You think with this. 2. Water runs down this. 3. This travels on rails. 4. This is full of holes. 5. This is made into food. 6. They say this has a pot of gold at its end. 7. This is part of a song.

The hostess asks the play ers to sit in a circle. Then she leaves the room and returns with a large tray filled with toys which are covered with a cloth. She places the tray in ihe center of the circle (on a table or on the floor) and hands each guest a slip of paper and a pencil. She lifts the cloth from the tray and gives the players a full min ute to look at the toys. Then she covers the tray again and tells each player to write down the names of the toys. The game can be as hard or easy as you wish by choosing more or fewer toys to put on the tray. The player with the most complete list wins. If any player writes down the name of a toy that is not on the tray, he must sing a song or recite a poem or perform some other stunt. What Did They Like to Eat? Patricia W. Boyd Do you remember what your favorite nursery-rhyme folk liked to eat? 1. Who ate broth without any bread? 2. Who ate curds and whey? 3. Who ate Christmas pie? 4.
