The Game of Bouquet.
Each player composes in turn a bouquet of three different flowers, that he names aloud to the person conducting the play. The leader then writes the names of the flowers, and after them the names of three persons in the room. He then demands of the player who has composed the bouquet, what he intends doing with the flowers, and upon their proposed disposition being declared, the names of the three persons they represent are read aloud.
Example.
Leader.—“Miss A, choose three flowers.”
Miss A.—“A rose, an aster and a pansy.”
L.—“I have written them. Now what will you do with the rose?”
A.—“I will throw it out of the window.”
L.—“And the aster?”
A.—“I will put it in a vase.”
L.—“And the pansy?”
A.—“I will always keep it near me.”
L.—“Very well. You have thrown Mr. A out of the window, put Mr. B in a vase and expressed a desire to keep Mr. C always near you.”
