Then another five, and then another, until all have sung. Then for a grand finale, all the guests stand as chorus and in duets, trios, quartettes sing the one stanza through, all joining in the refrain each time.
The harmony will be remarkable.
JIG-I-TY JIG.
Chairs are placed to form a circle, and all the players excepting two occupy the chairs.
One of the two players must play a polka or waltz. The other one stands outside of the circle.
The one standing outside dances as soon as the music starts, and continues dancing as long as she pleases, but all of a sudden she stops a second before a chair, and then dances up to the chair. Whoever occupies it instantly rises and dances back to her, and after a while the first dancer waves a backward movement of the hand toward her friend, thus indicating she is not wanted to continue dancing. But she must walk or waltz back to her chair and then sit down.
The first dancer continues dancing, however, and goes to another party in precisely the same way as she did to the first, and when she concludes she has the right one, she dances to that party’s seat and takes it.
The individual then on the floor continues dancing, as did the first one. When she sits down a third party dances, and so on until all have danced.
If any of the company do not dance, they should make a feint of doing so. If the individual is full of fun, much amusement is created.
