Stepping Stones.
Two couples compete against each other. The man of each couple is given two folded newspapers, one for each hand. At the signal for starting he quickly puts one of the papers down and the lady steps on it with her right foot. He then puts down the other paper a little distance ahead, and she steps on it with her left foot. He puts the first paper as far forward as he thinks she can step, and she puts her right foot on it. Then the left, the right, etc., etc., the object being to reach the goal, some thirty feet away, before the other couple can reach it, the only rule being that the lady must walk on newspapers only, which her partner places for her.
Said partners are always too ambitious in setting out the papers, and it takes considerable stepping to bridge the gaps.
