However, if this ghost can get any of you to say something to him, the one who speaks to‘ a ghost immediately becomes ‘a ghost, too, no matter if he was not gven oneâ€"third of a ghost befre. ‘ Every. g_hlz tries to get an answer from some question Two Thirds of a Ghost _ _ â€" You will also have to akree on only a very short time that each one is allowed ‘to think of a letter and if he can‘t think: of a letter Aand if: he can‘t think of another letter he should be "penalized just the same as if he ended a word.. Each person tries to use letters that will end the word with some one else rather then himself, when it comes around again. â€"After a person becontes a third of a ghost, the next person starts a new word, and you keep it up until some one else or the same person becomes a third of a ghost before. Every ghost tries comes twoâ€"thirds of a ghost, the next time that he fails he becomes threeâ€" thirds of a ghost gr a whole ghost. Then even more fun begins. hi thre l ~_Of" course the thing to. do ‘is to change the word in your mind and the second. one might add the letter ‘"I" which does not ond a word.: The next one may add "a" and then "c" and the next one gets "stuck" because he hadto add the letter "d." If: any one adds a letter that does not seem to fit into some word, you can chalâ€" lenge him and he has to tell what the word is. That prevents adding letters that don‘t make words or shows them up if they don‘t know how to. spell correctly. t y f s Game of Ghost francd A simple game that can ‘be played around the family table is sometimes called "Ghost." One member of the family gives the first letter of some word. The next one, either to the right or left, adds the next letter to the word and so on around the family circle.: The point each one has to watch is, as you go around the circle, that you don‘t end a word. Suppose that some one starts a word beginning with the letter "b" and perhaps has in mind the word "beautiful.": The next one in order may add the letter "e," but that makes the word "b." In other words the one who said "e‘" ended a word and thereby becomes oné third of a ghost and the next one beâ€" youd starts a new word again. _ â€" ~This is how it is accomplished, x 0U gount in your own mind as you tap. The : first seven taps you can move around and hit any of the figures on the dial of the watch but on the 8th tap, you must hit 12 o‘clock, and folâ€" low backward around the dial hitâ€" ting the ‘figure IL on your 9th tap and 10 on your 10th tap, etc. : You can tell your opponent to tell you if you are not right in hitting his figure when he has counted to 20. : You do not know ‘when you hit this figure, but you do know that you will hit it on his count of 20 because if he picked the figure 12, then 8 taps. that you have given plus the figure 12 that he startâ€" ed with equals 20.. If ‘he‘ picked the figure 5, then you will have tapped fifteen times when you hit 5, which adged ito the 5 he started with n'\nkg} it 20. s mt % Mystic Watch Tapping An interesting trick is to pick out the ‘hour on a watch dial that. was touched by some one!else when you were not, looking. You agree to tell them ‘what hour he touched. Suppose your friend touched the figure II on the dial. : You tell him to begin.countâ€" ing every time that you tap the watch with your pencil beginning with the figure ‘that he touched. For instance, in this case, the first figure that you tapped he would count in his mind to himself, "12," and the next tap "13," and so on On the 20th tap you agree to hit his figure on the watch dialâ€"and you can always do it. |__‘ * This is how it is accomplished, You TELLS HOW TO PLAY SOME HOME GAMES The.: following in‘ the home" is D.

Having the letter "c," you may think of "Canada, Connecticut, Cook County, | Chicago, Carpathian mountains, Calumet river, Cagpian sea, Comp lake," and so on and write them down. â€"You cannot use the same name twice even though one is a city and one a river.. When the timekeeper announces that time is up, which may be five minutes or ten minâ€" utes, or whatever you choose, you will stop promptly. : Then one of you reads the names that you have. â€" . _ _ Read Your List s :‘ The rest of you look at your lists, as he reads, and if any of you have the same names, you and he and everyone else who has that name must cross it off your lists.
