CHILDREN'S GAMES AND CHILDREN'S PARTIES. " Witeh Party for the

Nursery" (only children with strong nerves should be invited to this) to "A Summer Holiday and Entertainment for Boy Scouts" in the chapters allotted to indoor and outdoor games ; while under the heading of "Children's Parties" we learn of "New Ways of Giving Small Christmas and Birthday Gifts," "How to Organize a Chil- dren's Party," besides more elaborate diversions such as a "Pet Animal Show." This book was written before the transference of the London Museum to Stafford House, or this would doubtless have been included in the list of " sighte " which are wisely counted as holiday amusements. The arrangement of the exhibits and the sense of continuity, which are so impressive to a grown-up visitor, also make a strong appeal to a child's imagination.
