A CHRISTMAS GAME.
“Christmas candles” is a good old-time game. A lighted candle is placed upon a table, and the player is blindfolded and stationed with his back to the candle, about a foot from it/ He is then told to take three steps forward, turn around three times, then to walk four steps toward the candle and blow it out. His attempts to do so will probably be as amusing to the audience as disconcerting tn himself.
