HOUSE-PARTY AND COUNTRY-CLUB GAMES
The list of games offered under this heading is made with the realization that the guests for such conditions may include very young people and adults. No attempt is made to select appropriate games for either, the choice being left for the circumstances of any given occasion. While many of the games are for indoors, most of them may be played out of doors, and a few good chasing games for young people are included. An especial effort has been made to secure for this list games that utilize natural material, as leaves, grasses, trees, stones, etc., and some snow games are given for winter days. The so-called "quiet" games are not necessarily noiseless, but are distinguished from active games by the players not moving around.

GAMES FOR CHILDREN'S PARTIES
The games in this list are mainly for children from four to ten or twelve years of age. They are suitable both for indoors and the lawn. While most of them call for only a mild form of exercise, a few of the more lively running games are included. The so-called quiet games are not necessarily noiseless, but are distinguished from active games in which the players move around.

SEASHORE GAMES
An especial effort has been made to secure for this list games that utilize pebbles, shells, stones, holes dug in the earth, and diagrams drawn on the sand. Many games are given requiring but little activity and suited to hot days; but there are also a number of good running and chasing games suitable for a hard beach. Games are given for both young and older players.
