A Few Simple Suggestions for Hallowe’en Various Games to Amuse the Grown-ups by Robert Cyril O'Brien HE average man is really a boy at | heart and thoroughly enjoys every opportunity to have a little fun. There is no better medium for fun making than games. And what season is more appropriate than Hallowe’er While we enthusiastically recommend the following games, we do not hold our- selves in any way responsible for results. ‘The reader takes all risks. The best we can do is to wish him luck. (Ver: ladies, but these divertisements are for gentlemen only; we may have some better ones for you later on.) Ducking Apples and Other Fruit. For this most stimulating game the only re- quirements are several tubs three-fourths full of water, a generous supply of un- edible fruit and a few unpopular victims. To play: The unfortunates are blind- folded and led sheepishly into a corner of the room. The tubs are then distributed prominently. The guests supply them- selves with plenty of ammunition and, at the word Duck, each marksman lets fly his supply in the direction of the victims, who, naturally, run and trip over the tubs and cause all kinds of laughter. Anyone who drowns is, of course, dis- qualified. The object is to see who can absorb the most punishment. 10 Changing Seats. When one person leaves the room, another takes his seat. When the party of the first part returns, he tries to remove the party of thesecond part. This is lots of fun for the spectators. Hiding the Records. The host is told to leave the scene.

When he finds out he commences to search for them. Every time he uses profanity he must be penalized; the penalties preferably being a kick in the shins and a punch in the nose. Throwing the Apple Peel. For this game each contestant is supplicd with an apple which must be peeled so that the skin comes off in one long strip. Each person in turn then goes to the window and throws the peel at a passing pedestrian, The in- dividual who hits his man in the eye wins—or loses—depending on the nature of the one hit. The Three Tumblers. Three of the driest memb of the party are selected. Three tum- blers are placed on the table; one is filled with pure water, the other with soapy water and the third with gin. Ata given signal each of the three men, with eyes closed, grabs a tum- bler and quickly drinks its con- tents. The one who drinks the gin is out—for the rest of the evening. The one who gargles the soapy water is out of luck. ‘Therefore the other w Wishing Game. Every mem- her of the party is given a slip of paper on which he must write a wish. ‘The papers are then col- lected by mine host who is = — supposed to read them and then go outside and open the bottles and serve it.
