The Double Demon Spelling Bee.

Progressive spelling bee has made its
temperance among the tircside pastimes
of the winter season. But it is the spell
ing bee in a new and more complicated
form. which offers greater opportunities
for the exercise of ingenuity and resource
than were provided by the old form of
the game.
As it used to be played, each player in
turn contributed a letter, and the first
one to spell a complete word lost the
game. Thus. If five players were com
peting, and the first gave the initial let
ter IS, the second tt the third Il
making IS, t, H. and the fourth added
f. the fifth player would have to search
his vocabulary for some other word than
stiff The only way of continuing IS.
t, /, f, without completing the word and
losing the game, would be by adding the
letter ." and switching the game on to
the word "stiile' and its derivations.
This was the old progressive spelling
bee, whose vogue has declined. The new
game, which is known as the double
demon spelling bee" is a further de-
yelopment of it. The novel point is that
each player when it comes TO his turn
has the option of either affiXing or pre-
fixing letter. This opens ont all sorts
of new opportunities. Thus, i'll the case
already quoted where the fifth player
had to continue the letters =, t. /, I.
lie would he aDle 10 get out OF the hlHl-
Guilty by prehxing the letter "a" thus
turning the growing word in the Girec-
ton of "maStiff.
Some people display great ingenuity in
playing the double demon and discover
all sorts Of unexpected ways out of dlif-
culties
Thus. the other day a well-known lady
had to continue the letters IS. G. n. l.
She might have added another Il and
continued the word in the direction of
'scallop." but the next player happening
to be Il webbing politician. she had the
happy idea of pretXing the letter Il to
IS. c. a, l." and the gentleman, to every
ones amusement. was so appalled, by the
imminence of the word #, j. ;. c. Il. !,
that he overlooked the means Of escape
which lay in prefxing the letter IN, =,
