and wound upon coarse steel knitting
needles into little rolls and tied with
baby ribbon to match the color scheme
of the table.
These are brought In and passed to
the guests, each taking one, just after
serving the after dinner coffee The
hostess announces that each Is to guess
the name of the cake suggested on her
slip, adding, the one who gives the
most correct answers wins the prize Of
a delicious cake, which should be ex-
hibited. The hostess has a list of the
answers, and when one misses the "hit'
she reads 1t, to the merriment of the
crowd. For instance, one slip reads:
Name the presidents cake. The an
swer is (election). The parenthesis
must not appear on the slips. A list
recently used, and very wittily Sc
lected, Is given for suggestion:
Name the biologists cake. (Moun-
