For Youngsters

A clever way to amuse a troop of children is to invite them to a peanut party. For one lately given here, tiny cards of invitation were sent out, on each one of which two half peanut shells were fastened. A large quantity of the nuts were hidden about the house, and when the young folks arrived they were told to hunt them. They who found the most and least of them received prizes; the first being a Chinese doll made from peanuts and dressed in crépe tissue paper, and the second a pig made from a large peanut. A string was glued on for a tail and four pins furnished the legs; a few marks with pen and ink completed his pigship.
