THE GALLERY OF STATUES

For this game all the company leave the room with the exception
of two. One of these then stands like a statue, with perhaps the
assistance of a tablecloth or something similar as drapery, while the
other acts as showman.

When the position is decided upon, one of the company is called in and
taken on one side by the showman, and is asked his or her opinion as
to the merits of the statue. It is almost certain that some suggestion
will be made; in that case he or she is made to assume the attitude
suggested, and another player is called in, to whom the same question
is put, and another suggestion made and adopted. As each statue is
added to the gallery, a great deal of merriment is caused, and in a
short time a large collection will be obtained.

A number of chairs are arranged in the middle of the room, and there
must be one chair less than the number of players, not counting the

The players then seat themselves round the room, while the huntsman
stands in the center and calls for them one at a time, in this way:
