At Cape Porpoise, Maine, the youths
and maidens have invented a game
which for striking originality has not
been ecllpsed on the Atlantic coast in
many year 1t is called progressive
hammocking," and may be played by
any number of persons, so long as there
are an equal number OF each sex. In
the first place semi or total darkness is
required; next large estate with plenty
OF trees; as many hammocks and Chi
nese lanterns as there are couples, and
finally chaperone, and ii is suggested
that the chaperone have gentleman
friend OF suitable age to occupy the
spare moments. The hammockS are
swung each in place which cannot be
seen from another, and the lanterns
hung above them. On each lantern
is a number. The madens are seated in
the hammocks, as gracefully as their
experience will permit; the chaperone
hands each young man slip OF paper
which bears number, and the sounding
OF whistle is the signal for the game
TO begin. Each youth seeks out the Ian
tern bearing the number corresponding
to that on the slip Of paper handed him,
and seats himself by the maiden under
it. Now the interesting portion Of the
game begins. Each young man is re-
quired by the rules of the game TO tell
the maiden beside him love story, and
it must be strictly new and original, at
least so far as that particular girl
is concerned. II she has ever
heard the story she may claim forfeit
OF her own selection, and the penalty is
sure to be pretty heavy. When the
whistle blows he takes another ham
mock. Thus il there are six hammocks,
six girls and six young men the game
will consume an hour and half, or
trife more, and each lovely young
thing will have heard six charming Iowa
tales. The girls vote on sealed bits OF
paper the name Of the youth who told
the best story, and the young men de-
clare in the same way the name OF the
best listener.
