The center of attraction is the
Grand Place. a square. on one side of

the right and left Of the belfry are the
highly ornamented facades of the Ho-

The early morning market in the
Grand Place is most attractive. Here

players personate merchants. and
each guesses. from the country and
the initial letter OF the article. what
his neighbor has for sale. The play

The rext in line must supply the ar

cheese. clothing or any production of
England. but must be nothing not
made or grown there. like coffee or
cinnamon. Any one who violates this
rule must pay forfeit. and his turn
passes to the next Whoever names
a correct article then announces in
like manner his own country and the
first letter of what he sells. and the
game goes on thus, as long as the
players choose. 1t should be played
rapidly.
