Open Day and Evening.
Game of Footprints.
The merriest kind of a game can be
played with the aid of several old news
papers and a little lampblack or soot.
The papers are laid carefully over the
carpet so as to completely cover it, and
the lampblack spread out a little on i
thicker paper at the corner from which
those who are to leave the footprints
start.
Something is put at the opposite side
of the room as a goal. Then some one
has his or her eyes bandaged, and is
told to make a bee line for the goal, lie
fore bandaging the eyes, however, the
player is to step into the lampblack, so
that each step shall leave its mark.
There is a prize for the one who makes
the st raightest line of steps. The fun
lies in the waving line of prints. The
soberest matron or the keenest witted
young man leave a disreputably uncer
tain trace behind, so that under other
circumstances it might lead people to
think they had looked upon the wine
when it was red, etc.
Another amusing blindfold game is of
French origiu, and is a pretty one, suit
able for an Easter party. Across the
room at one end are strung two fine
wires, and each of these has a lot of
pretty little gifts of small value hung to
it by narrow ribbons which are about 10
inches long. The lines are about a foot
from the wall.
The players are drawn iuto two lines.
At the opposite end of the room, and
blindfolded, two by two, the two first
on the lines are given a pair of sharp
scissors each. At the word "Go"' they
start toward the lines. The two first
ones reach out with the scissors and try
to cut a ribbon.
Not once in a hundred times do they
reach one. Each has three trials if he
or she misses the first. When these have
tried and failed, or won, they remove
the bandages from their eyes and retire,
holding their gifts if they have them.
They give the scissors to the next two,
ind they try, and so on. Each one is
blindfolded as his or her turn in the line
comes, and makes the trial.
When the whole company has tried,
the hostess will see that any one who
missed getting a gift receives one of
those not secured, for there are, or
should be, one for everybody. It is sur
prising how little real idea we have of
distances without sight.
A large face made on pasteboard and
painted has a mouth large enough for
anybody to pass the hand through. This
will be fastened to the back of two
chairs. Behind the mouth a bag is hung,
and this, too, has a lot of trifling gifts,
some pretty and some comical in it.
Hie company present, one by one, are
blindfolded and bidden to reach down
the ogre's mouth for his or her good
fortune.
It is worse than a donkey party as far
as accuracy is concerned, but eventually
every one gets his or her gift, even if
they peep under the bandage a little.
The opening and comparing of them is a
fund of amusement. Philadelphia Press.
