arts over again with the remaining
players, and so it continues until there is but one person remaining.
If great care is taken the numbers can be counted up to 70, which,
according to the rules before mentioned, would, of course, be called
Buzz. The numbers would then be carried on as Buzz 1, Buzz 2, etc., up
to 79, but it is very seldom that this stage is reached.

"I APPRENTICED MY SON."

The best way of describing this game is to give an illustration of how
it is played. The first player thinks of "Artichoke," and commences:
"I apprenticed my son to a greengrocer, and the first thing he sold
was an A."

Second player: "Apple?" "No."

Third player: "Almonds?" "No."

Fourth player: "Asparagus?" "No."

Fifth player: "Artichoke?" "Yes."

The last player, having guessed correctly, may now apprentice his son.
No player is allowed more than one guess.

CAT AND MOUSE

The children sit in two rows opposite each other with a space between.
One child takes the place of "cat," being blindfolded, and one takes
the place of "mouse," and is also blindfolded, the cat standing at
one end of the row and the mouse at the opposite end. They start in
opposite directions, guiding themselves by the chairs, the cat trying
to catch the mouse. When the mouse is caught it is made the cat, and
one of the company takes the place of the mouse.

THE SEA KING

This game can be played by any number of children. They proceed by
first choosing one of the party to act as the Sea King, whose duty
it is to stand in the center of a ring, formed by the players seating
themselves round him. The circle should be as large as possible. Each
of the players having chosen the name of a fish, the King runs round
the ring, calling them by the names which they have selected.

Each one, on hearing his name called, rises at once, and follows the
King, who, when all his subjects have left their seats, calls out,
"The sea is troubled," and seats himself suddenly. His example is
immediately followed by his subjects. The one who fails to obtain a
seat has then to take the place of King, and the game is continued.

BUFF SAYS "BAFF"

This is a game in which no one is allowed to smile or laugh. All the
players, except one, sit in a row or half circle; one goes out of the
room and retu
