The winner of this contest also had a prize. Of course a nut party
would hardly be complete without a peanut hunt and there was also a
peanut race in which the object was to transfer the peanuts from one
end of the room to another on the blade of a table knife.

In still another peanut contest the object was to pitch ten peanuts
into a narrow-necked jar at a distance of about twelve feet.

To choose partners for refreshments a basket of English walnuts was
passed, each little nut with a painted face and a paper cap of some
sort. Blue sailor caps, soldier caps, Red Cross nurse head-dresses,
Scotch Tam o' Shanters, babies' bonnets, girls' gay garden hats,
were all represented. There were only two of a kind, and the two
individuals who selected them were of course partners.

In addition each nut proved to be only a hollow nut shell; in one was
a conundrum, in its mate the answer.

The refreshments were nut-bread sandwiches, peanut butter sandwiches,
hot cocoa, cocoanut macaroons, vanilla ice-cream with chocolate nut
sauce, and peanut brittle.
