The hostess must prepare beforehand pictures, cut from magazine advertisements and miscellaneous articles, suggestive of the titles of books. These are arranged around the room, some on tables, some on the wall, and in any place, so all the guests can see them. All the articles are numbered. The guests are handed pencil and paper and the hostess announces that all the articles represent the title of some book and when guessed the names are to be written opposite their corresponding numbers. Allow half an hour for the hunt, and when the time is up the hostess reads the correct list and the player who has guessed the largest number correctly, deserves a prize. Examples--A large bow of orange ribbon pinned on a curtain, immediately suggests "A Bow of Orange Ribbon," by Amelia Barr. A picture of several boys suggests "Little Men," by Louisa M. Alcott. A picture of Gen. Grant cut in half suggests "Half a Hero." |
