This, is the old favorite Consequences, with a new movie twist. Each guest should be given a paper looking like this: 2— — 3 5— Met Where He said to her She said to him The consequence was 6—~ Each player writes the name of a male film star on the first blank line, folds down the paper so that the name is hidden, and passes it on to the next person to the left. The procedure is repeated, using the name of a photoplay in each of lines 3, 4, 5 and 6. Then the papers are collected and read. One such paper written at a party recently read this way : Wallace Reid met Bebe Daniels on A Trip to Paradise. He said to her, Come On Over. She said to him, Watch Your Step. And the consequence was A Fool's Paradise. FROM HELEN KING, Ronan, Mont. An amusing game is played by passing to the guests a paper containing a verse with blank spaces to be filled in with a name of a movie star in each instance. For instance : He sat and dreamed in the moon beams so ~ (White) ; He sat and dreamed the whole of the night, 'Till the first bright (Ray) changed the grays artd blue Of the skies to the most gorgeous -(Hughes). Why dreams he through the whole night there? He dreams of his (Castle) in the air. He dreams of — — (Love) in a cottage for two, And so is happy the long night through. He'd lost his — (Hart) the day before this Down by the (Lake) to a (Sweet) little miss; They meet the (Chaplin) to day; so "Oh, Boy!" That's why he hailed the new dawn with such (Joy).
