who have not entered into the game,
pronounce upon the productions. One Of
the pretty little candy boxes, repre-
senting a turkey, is given, filled with
sweets, 70 the blind artist, whose work
was pronounced best.
Get the baby's box of anagram let
tiers and you are ready for still an
other mirth provoking game. Pour
the chips into a. paper or cloth bag,
and shake up well in order to break
up all former combinations. Each
person in turn puts his hand into the
bag and takes out one chip. This con-
tinues until no chips remain. Great
secrecy must be observed, no player
allowing any other player glimpse
of his chips.
When all the chips have been dis
tributed the players sit or stand IN
a circle, and the object of the game
is explained. Every one is to try to
be first in forming the word turkey
with the letters. This can be done
through the passing of the chips from
one person to another. Each player
passes to his left-hand neighbor the
letter which he thinks he is less likely
to need. This passing must be con-
tinuous. A player is not allowed to
retain a letter because he thinks he
may require it by and by. If it is not
already in sequence for building the
word he is obliged to pass it along,
that is, of course, unless his hand
contains another with which he would
prefer to part.
For example. if the required and
IL are already in his hand, he is not
Obliged to pass on the r, but if he
holds the u and but not the k, then
the must be passed, unless he has
another irrelevant letter to throw away
instead Ten minutes, if the game IS
played rapidly, as it should be, Will
decide the winning of the prize. A
box of Turkish sweetmeats would be
fetching as reward of good work in
the game or a pretty box in oriental
inlaid work would serve appropriate
ly.
For the good feature of turkey ques-
tons, get together twice as many
blank cards, carte de visite size, as you
have players. We will say that the
number of the company is twenty per-
sons. In this case you will need forty
cards. On twenty of them write cues
ions relating to Turkey and TURKS.
On the other remaining twenty Write
the answers to these questions. me
questions can be taken from any good
book on the subject. but care should
be used in selecting such as the aver
age American could be required to
know.
When the forty cards have been writ
ten put the questions in one bowl and
the answers in another. The question
bowl is passed, and each player in turn
takes a card from it. The answers
bowl follows, and all players dip into
this also. II player thinks he has re-
ceived from the answers bowl an an
swer to his question he retains the
cards in hand and ceases TO play. But
II he considers that the answer he
holds belongs 10 some other question
he returns the card 10 the bowl 1t came
from and draws again. No consulta-
ton with regard 10 cards is allowed.
Question cards cannot be returned. All
players who succeed in answering their
questions correctly draw among them
selves for a nicely illustrated book OF
travels in Turkey.
Answers 20 questions should be ex-
pressed very concisely, and in n way
which does not repeat the question,
