as it breaks the "charm," so the leader says. Guided by the ticking of
the watch, and knowing that it is there, he soon discovers the hidden
object to the surprise of the others.

He and his confederate may take turns going out and after a while, if
the company are very quiet, one of them might hear the watch ticking
and the trick is disclosed.



FIND YOUR BETTER-HALF.


Select a number of pictures of men and women from fashion papers,
advertising books, etc. If possible, try to procure them in pairs,
that is, a man and woman contained in the same picture, or two having
the same expression. Number the pictures in pairs, thus there will be
two of No. 1, of No. 2, No. 3, etc.

Give the young ladies the pictures of the men and the young men those
of the ladies. Each one then hunts for his partner or "better-half,"
comparing the pictures and number.

The more mixed the pictures were when given out, the longer it will
take to find partners.
