the work which is supposed to have been done by the workmen. He is
supposed to discover a bad stitch and asks: "Who did it, Blue Cap?"
The latter immediately answers: "Not I, sir." "Who then, sir?" "Yellow
Cap, sir." Yellow Cap must then answer at once in the same manner and
name another workman. Any one who fails to answer to his name pays a
forfeit. If carried on in a brisk manner, this game will cause endless
amusement.

One of the players is asked to go outside while the company thinks of
some person in the room, and on his return he has to guess of whom the
company has thought.

The players then arrange themselves in a circle, and agree each to
think of his or her right-hand neighbor; it is best to have a girl and
boy alternately, as this adds much to the amusement.

The one outside is then called in, and commences to ask questions.
Before replying, the player asked must be careful to notice his or
her right-hand neighbor, and then give a correct reply. For instance,
supposing the first question to be: "Is the person thought of a boy or
a girl?" The answer would possibly be "A boy;" the next person would

would, of course, be given according to the right-hand neighbor.

Nearly all the answers will contradict the previous ones, and
