A short time is given for guessing each group, and then the next set
go out.

The guesses are written on slips of paper and after all the eyes have
been "examined," the correct list is read by one who stayed behind the
sheet all the time.



THE PRINCE OF WALES.


Any number can play this game. The players stand in a line around the
room and number themselves, beginning with one, until each has a
number.

The leader, who has no number and who has charge of the game, begins
by saying--

"The Prince of Wales has lost his hat, all on account of No. 1, Sir;"
then No. 1 says: "No, sir, not I, sir, No. 5, (or any number he
wishes), sir." Then No. 5, repeats what No. 1 said, giving another
number instead of 5; but if he fails to respond, then the leader says,
"No. 5 to the foot, sir," and then all those who were below No. 5 move
up one, and thus their number becomes one less.

The leader begins again and he must be very quick to send those to the
foot, who fail to respond.
