This simple yet exciting game can. be played by any number of players, with adaptation,, in this way: With the exception of two guests, who will act as entertainers, the - players stand in a row with their eyes blindfolded and one hand (left) behind their backs. Certain unusual! and queer-shapecl objects, previously chosen by the entertainers,' are passed consecutively down the line, each player being allowed to handle each article for about 10 seconds. Then all remove blindfolds and write down what they think the objects were. (Such things W i as potatoes, candle wax, penholders, putty, peas, pins etc. may be used).; At the end of the allotted time the \ papers are collected, and the one with the least number of mistakes is the winner. The sequel to this, often played in conjunction with it, may be used: The entertainers (behind a screen or in an adjoining room) make cer- j*' tain noises with their whistles, scis- ▼ sors, doors, windows, etc., etc. After each noise -the players have to make a guess at what they think the noise is. The game is reasonably quiet, though it proves both baffling and exciting; and the number of mistakes made is truly funny. w TWISTERS TO TRY When next you hear some one talk ing of the King's Coronation you might ask how many kings have been crowned king of England.
