CHAPTER LXV
GAMES AND AMUSEMENTS FOR THE BLIND
The Wonderful Sense of Touch
It cannot fail to strike those of us who are blessed with the use of our eyes how extremely fortunate it is that our blind friends need not be debarred from many of our games. Being deprived of their sight, their sense of touch is developed to such an incredible extent that in the playing of many games their fingers prove of the same use to them as our eyes do to us.
Practically all games for the blind can be purchased at very moderate cost, yet as they can be quite easily made at home the following hints are offered in the hope that they will prove of use, and help some of our readers to entertain a friend less fortunate than themselves.
Cards
An ordinary pack of cards can be very simply adapted to the use of the blind.
