Mystery OF the Seven Magic Checkers

job with "cat" OF "brave" but if
you want to be real mean. try a
word like "impromptu."
Another consideration to be
borne in mind in connection with
this synthetic poetry is that every
line should have the same swing
and that the swing of it should
be an easy one. The easiest is
what the college professors call
"lambic tetrameter." which is
only a pretentious Greek word
for the swing of "Mary had a

up the checkers one at a time,
alternating with each hand, re-
placing them on the table and
picking them up again in such a
way that at the completion Of
the trick the magician has two
checkers in one hand and five in
the other.

NOME people like their in
> nuendo straight, some like it
raw, and some like it vicar
iously. The game of "Blind Con-
sequences" is for those who like
it vicariously.
The players each have a piece
Of paper to start with, and write
a sentence at the top of their
pieces OF paper and fold the writ
ing under so that it is concealed
from the others. The papers are
then passed to the persons next
on the right of each player and
all again write a sentence at the
top Of the white space just be-
low the fold. The sentences must
be ambiguous and contain a gen
eral innuendo in the hope that
they viii hook up startlingly
with the sentence hidden in the
folds above it. Each player folds
his sentence under and passes the
paper on.
When all have added a sen
tence to each paper the papers
are unfolded, one by each play
er, and in turn each reads off all
the sentences on his paper as a
continuous series of connected
sentences. If they make for
harmless and innocent fun
why, then, frankly, all are disap-
pointed. Much merriment results
when some shy player tries to
avoid modification.
Another version Of this idea IL
for one person to write a line
of verse on a piece of paper. He
passes it on. The second person
write two lines in the same swing
or meter. one line to rhyme with
the line which has been passed to
him and a second line not rhym-
ing with it but in the same meter.
The first two lines are then fold
ed under and the paper passed to
the third player with only the
third line showing. The third per-
son writes a line to rhyme with
it, adds a line not rhyming with
it, folds under all but the last
line, passes the paper to the next
player. and so on. The last per-
son to write on the paper writes
only one line to rhyme with the
line that has been handed him.
The paper is unfolded and the
lines read as one poem which
will be in what the college pro-
tessors call "couplets." Needless
to say, in choosing a word to end
your line with "a word which the
next person must find a rhyme

AS the magician is making the
necessary moves he diverts the at
tention of his audience with an
appropriate cline Of patter." He
points to the five checkers In a
row on the table and az the same
time calls attention to the two
checkers he still has in his hands.
Next he picks up checker No. l
in his left hand, No. S in hi5
right, No. 2 in his left No. 4 in
his right and No. 3 In his left.
The magician next proceeds to
put the checkers back on the
table, putting down one from HE
right hand, then one from hS
left, next one from his right,
then another from his left and
n from his right. This leaves
him with two checkers in his left
hand, while his right hand IL
empty. The audience, Of course,
does not know the difference,
still thinking that he has one
checker in each hand.
At this point the conjurer
proceeds to pick up the checkers
az before, starting with his left
hand. This gives him five check
ers in his left hand and two in
his right. Then he places on the
tabla the two checkers in his
right hand and opens his left
hand and puts the five checkers
on the table.
