BREAKFAST.
"Every player is seated. Turn to the person at your right, and ask, 'Will you come to breakfast?' To which the answer is, 'Yes.' When that question and answer have gone around the room, the first one must ask, 'What would you like for breakfast?' Perhaps the reply would be, 'Milk'; and he then puts the question to his right-hand neighbor, who perhaps would say, 'Oatmeal,' and so on, until no sensible answer can be made, for no repetitions can occur in this game, also. As the different players fail to respond they must stand.
ALPHABET.
"Give any letter of the alphabet—for example, S—to the company, also some paper and pencils. In five minutes' time they should write the names of three celebrated men, and also three sensible sentences, one for each man's name, as Shakespeare was born in Stratford on the Avon. Forfeits are required for failures.
"The games may be interspersed or followed by dances, and also by vocal or instrumental music."
"As you describe it, Blanche, I'm afraid the children wouldn't get home until morning."
"I am sure they will not want to. And, besides, it will be such a pretty party."
"That is so; but you haven't suggested any decorations."
"No, nor told you what you are to wear."
"I to wear?" and Mrs. Thayer almost screamed the words.
