Childr.n't Hour UIL'CJ Let's Draw a Starfish By Ann Davidow Draw this pretty flower; Add dots and it will be A starfish that goes swishing On the bottom of the sea. Indoor Coral Garden By Evelyn P. Johnson A coral garden makes an attractive cen terpiece for the table. You can make one in a fascinating way. Take a clean lump of soft coal. Place it in a shallow glass dish. Pour over the coal a solution of one tablespoon each of water, salt, and bluing. After a few days, white "reefs" or crystals will form on the coal. More interest and color may be added by sprinkling the "garden" with a few drops of colored ink. Every other day, pour into the dish one teaspoon of water mixed with one teaspoon of salt. Be careful not to pour the solution directly on the growing crystals, and do not shake the dish, as this may jar the crystals olT the coal. Bumpity-Bump By Ransom Moore Mark a large circle (six to nine feet in diameter) on the ground. Two players stand inside the circle at opposite sides. They stand on one foot and keep their arms fold ed. Tncn they start to hop toward each other. Each wants to bump the other out of the circle. But each must do this without putting down his foot, using his hands, or falling over. The one who does, loses. Then two more players try Bumpity-Bump! Word Square By Florence S. Moore 1.

Seal two people on opposite sides of a small table. Tie their right wrists together with string, leaving a 10-inch length be tween them. Give each one a plate of ice cream (or cooled soup), a spoon, and, after having them put their free hand behind their backs, tell them to cat. Unless there is careful co ordination, this can be anywhere from hi larious to disastrous. If the party is large, set up two couples at a time. Fomillt Weekly. March 12. IMf I wot.
