GAMES FOR SPARE MOMENTS.

Morning, Noon, and Night.—The first player must understand the trick of the game, and begins by going up to some one and asking. * Will you go in the morning, or at noon, or in the evening ?’ The one questioned can reply by saying either of the three times. Suppose morning was answered. The game will properly proceed like this, for example : Leader : What will you take ? Answer: Melons. Lradsr: What will you wear? Answer : I’ll wear a mackintosh. Leader : What will you do ? Answer : 11l mix mortar. If noon has been answered, the replies should begin with n ; if evening, with e. If no one but the leader understands the game the replies will be given haphazard ; and if wrong, another person must be asked. Measure Game.—One is selected to stand up in front of the rest, while each guesses his height. The names of guessers, with their replies, are recorded. Then an exact measurement is made, and the one who is nearest right gets a prize, while the one farthest from right must do something to amuse the rest. The game can be continued by guesses as to length of arm, width of shoulders, or any other dimensions, and it can be varied by guessing distances, for example, between two points in sight.
