Gonse Cutting.

One of the games for social gatherings
is goose cutting" The hostess provides
an outline of goose, which is usually of
red cloth or, if made of paper, is colored
red or black. Two pairs of scissors are
provided and number of sheets of plain
brown paper Each gentleman invites a
lady to cut goose with him, and in turn
these couples are seated back to back in
two chairs in the center of the room.
When the model goose has been studied,
the pair are blindfolded, and proceed to
evolve with their scissors and sheet of pa
per copies of the fowl. Having finished,
each paper is duly signed by its creator
and laid aside. When finished, all the re-
suits are laid out ON the parlor floor,
names down, and two judges, who have
not been present at the cutting, pass upon
the merits of tho geese submitted, and
prizes reward the workers according to
their merits

The title is appropriate to the verses il
they are read in a certain way:
Happy the man may pass his life
Who's free from matrimonial chains;
Who is directed by a wife
Is sure to suffer for his pains
What tongue is able to unfold
The falSehoods that in woman dwellg
The worth and truth that we behold
Are truly imperceptible
Adam could find no solid peace
When Eve was given him for a mate;
Till he beheld a woman's face
Adam was in happy state
For in the female race appear
Hypocrisy, deceit and pride!
Truth, honor and a heart sincere
In woman never can reside.
Destruction to those men, say
Who make the fair their chief delight;
Who no regard to women pay,
Keep reason always in their sight
