g any turn
he chooses, the following being suggestive of the general tone of
it:--

The questioner says: "I heard that you got into the hen roost
yesterday. How did you get in?"

Answer: "With the dictionary."

To the next player: "What did you find there?"

Answer: "A horse."

To the next player: "What did you give him to eat?"

Answer: "A sofa pillow," etc.

Any player who laughs, or who fails to answer promptly or correctly to
the question, must change places with the questioner. Forfeits may
also be required if desired.

HORNS

_5 to 60 players._

_Indoors; out of doors; schoolroom._

This game is played very much like "Simon says." It is a quiet game
that may be played with all of the players seated, their forefingers
placed on their knees or on a table or desk in front of them. One who
is leader says:--

"All horns up!"

"Cat's horns up!" or

"Cow's horns up!"

whereupon he lifts his own forefingers, pointing upward. Should he
name an animal that has horns, all of the players lift their fingers
in similar manner, but should he name an animal such as a cat, that
has no horns, any player that lifts his fingers in imitation of the
leader is out of the game.

INITIALS

_5 to 30 or more players._

_House party._

For this game it will be necessary to prepare slips of paper, one for
each player. At the head of the paper are written the initials of some
person who will be present; under this a series of questions which the
player drawing the paper is to answer. The papers are put in a box or
hat and drawn by the players, or held in the hand with the initials
concealed and drawn in that way. A certain time may be allowed, if
desired, for the answering of the questions.

The answers must be written in each case immediately below the
question, must consist of only as many words as there are initials at
the top of the sheet, and the words of the answer must begin with the
initials in their proper order. For example:--

H. B. B.

1. To whom does this paper belong? (Henry B. Brown.)
2. What is his character? (Horrid, but bearable.)
3. What kind of hair has he? (Heavy, burnished brown.)
4. What kind of eyes has he? (Heavenly, bright blue.)
5. What books does he prefer? (Handsomely bound biographies.)
6. What animals does he prefer? (Howling big bears.)
7. What is his chief occupation? (Hammering bulky boxes.)
8. What do you surmi
