=
There was a suggestion family made a
few weeks ago for new intellectual
game fer society
There is a game requiring moderate
mental effort which is so old that il may
be new TO The buds and beaus that make
up unmarried society in Wichita today.
II isn't much fun. but il lends variety TO
such amusement as Conundrums Conse-
quences, Rhymes. Quotations and other
games where chaperones preside or
where the guests are all girls and discus
sions on modes OF hair dressing etc
have been exhausted for the time being
The old game is called Comparisons,
and is played as follows:
Every school girl knows that compari-
sons are regularly made by adding Ser
and est TO the positive degree of an
adjective Now the idea is extended to
any word. and the sound is all that is re-
quired to complete the comparison.
Example-"Positive. what lawyers de- ;
mand; comparative, is dreadful: superla-
tive, the climax of social function"
Answer-"Fee; fear: feast"
Or. TO get rid OF the technical terms in
grammer, you may say: My first is an
American poet; my second is when it
rains; my third is for waiting horses
Answer-'Poe; pour: post"
Right here would be an opportunity to
puzzle by Offering the following:
MY first is river in Italy: my second
studies hard: my third. New York pa
per-
Answer-'Po; pore: POST
Or, My first is town in France: my
second sweats: my third, informs HIM
self
Pau pronounced POI; pore: post"
The supply is inexhsustibie. with many
duplicates. Thus: Bee, beer, BEAST
BE. bier beast
Lee, leer. least"
lea. Lear (King). least"
10. lore. lost" (Lo is the poor Indan)
Foe, four. foist' (License allowed).
'Dee. dear, deist.',
Beau. boar boast"
