A variation of blind mans bluff may
be played in this fashion: Get a lighted
candlestick, handkerchief and two
tablespoons. Blindfold one Of the party,
give him the spoons, one i'm each hand,
ana place him in the middle of a large
ring OF chairs on which the rest of the
party are seated and tell him that he
must try to blow out the light as it is
passed quickly from hand to hand by
the others.
The blind man will find this a diff
cult task TO accomplish, and even when
he has done SO his troubles are not
over. He must then try 10 guess who
the person IS who was holding the light
when 1T was blown out. But he is not
allowed to feel the person, as N ordi-
nary blind mans bluff; that would be
far too easy. He can only feel with
the spoons.
lie feels the persons head TO see IL
he has long or short hair. and he feels
how the dress is trimmed and tries to
remember who is wearing a dress
trimmed that way, and he puts the
cold spoon down his neck, and then
the person says Ouch" and the blind
man cries, why, it's Billy and tears
OH the bandage. And then it is Billy's
turn TO stand in the circle and blow
out the candle and try TO guess who is
