_5 to 30 or more players._

_House party._

For this game it will be necessary to prepare slips of paper, one for
each player. At the head of the paper are written the initials of some
person who will be present; under this a series of questions which the
player drawing the paper is to answer. The papers are put in a box or
hat and drawn by the players, or held in the hand with the initials
concealed and drawn in that way. A certain time may be allowed, if
desired, for the answering of the questions.

The answers must be written in each case immediately below the
question, must consist of only as many words as there are initials at
the top of the sheet, and the words of the answer must begin with the
initials in their proper order. For example


H. B. B.

1. To whom does this paper belong? (Henry B. Brown.)
2. What is his character? (Horrid, but bearable.)
3. What kind of hair has he? (Heavy, burnished brown.)
4. What kind of eyes has he? (Heavenly, bright blue.)
5. What books does he prefer? (Handsomely bound biographies.)
6. What animals does he prefer? (Howling big bears.)
7. What is his chief occupation? (Hammering bulky boxes.)
8. What do you surmise regarding his future? (He'd better beware.)
9. What does he think of the opposite sex? (Hebes! Bright beauties!)
10. What does he think of the world in general?
(He's becoming bewildered.)
