A CIGARETTE CARD GAME.

Of course you all know the everyday game of cigarette card throwing, where you flick the cards up to a wall, the player getting his card nearest the wall winning them all. Well, here, is a variation of the game. Chalk some circles, about six inches in diameter, near th? wall. You can do this on tire pavement or in the playground. Chalk as many circles as there arc players. 'Now each player is given a number —one, two, three, four, according to how many players there are — an d the circles are numbered likewise.

The players all stand in a line, about eight feet from the wall, and in turn flick their cards along. Now take particular note of this, because it is important. The cards flicked into the circle with your own number on it will come to you, so it is up to .you to try to get your own cards in your own circle. Going right along the line of the players, each one has his turn, and at the end of the “turn” collects his winnings from his circle. Cards that go outside the circles are taken back by their owner. If a card goes on the rim of a circle it .is counted as in.
