sticking a piece of wood, pointed at one end about an inch long,
through it. Each spool makes two tops which are spun with the thumb
and forefinger. A penny may be used to spin, in fact any small thing
that spins will do for a top.

Number the circles as in the diagram. Place the top on the dot in the
center of circle 20 and spin it. The number of the circle the top
stops on, is the number scored. If on a line it counts for the circle
next it. If outside the line of circle 5 it counts nothing.

Any number can play and any number, such as 100 or more, may be the
score.



SHOE HUNT.


Shoes, four inches long, are cut out of cardboard, from patterns found
in catalogues. The pairs are mixed and hidden all over the room, high
and low, behind pictures, under mats, etc.

The girl or boy finding the greatest number of shoes that prove to be
pairs receives a prize.

To add to the merriment, several pairs of real shoes may be hidden,
too, and the children will enjoy hunting for the mates.
