_5 to 30 or more players._

_House party._

Each player is provided with a paper and pencil. The following is
either written on the papers in advance, or by the players from
dictation, minus the underscoring. Each player is then required to
find in the text the names of twenty-five textiles that may be
purchased in a dry goods store, none to be mentioned twice, indicating
each by underscoring. The player wins who has the largest number
correct.

Dolly Varden, immaculately dressed, sat in the window ledge and heard
from the church near by the mellow chords of the organ dying slowly
away. Her silken hair was well drawn back from her forehead low and
broad. Clothed as she was in pink and green, she made one think of the
spring. She was considered musical; I considered her brilliant in
every way. I was before the dresser, getting ready to go out, and
taking a forkful of cold slaw now and then, or some mock duck. "I want
to send a line north, Henrietta," said Dolly, bringing ham sandwiches;
for she saw I felt hungry. She then wrote this letter: "I marvel,
veterans, if you pause in your good work for lack of cash, merely as
is represented. You should canvas for a book or paper, Caleb, some
handy volume, possibly a duodecimo. Hairsplitting terms like this I do
not often employ, but, blessings on the head of Cadmus! linguists must
sometimes use their hands as well as their wit, weed gardens, if need
be, but spare the mullein, for it seems to me like a flower. Always
remember that, though the light burns dim, it yet will burn."
