Blind Man's Buff had several variations in the Victorian era. In the Queen of Sheba version, the pret. tiest girl in the room was seated on a chair, and the Pentecostal ladies meet The "Women's Ministries" was held at the Exeter Pentecostal Taber- nacle, November 27. The offering was received by Mrs. Mary Blanchard. Mrs. Ruth McLaren iiresided over the meeting. Mrs. Susanne‘ Cann led in the hymns, "When we all .get to Heaven" and "It is well with my Soul". Mrs. Shirley Prouty accompanied on the piano. The roll call of a favourite Bible verse was answered by the 12 ladies in attendance. In the business the ladieS decided to send money gifts to some of the Missionaries for Christmas. Mrs. Ruth. McLaren played a piano selection "Star of the East". She also read "What is a Grand- mother". The speaker for the after- noon was Mrs. Edith Miller. Her message was "The Nail Scarred Hands of Jesus". Lunch was served by Mrs. K. Gonyou, Mrs. E. Finkbeiner and Mrs. Mary Blanchard. blindfolded player tried to make his way to her to claim a kiss. But, at the last moment, she was replaced by an elderly relative. Shadow Buff was another variation in which, one person faced the wall while the others passed behind him. He tried to guess their identities by the shadows they made on the wall, and they disguised their shadows with imaginative methods, The game we know as Twenty Questions was once known as Characters and sometimes called Nouns. In Proverbs, one person left the room while the others chose a familiar proverb. When the player returned, he asked each person a question and their reply had to include one word of the proverb until he guessed it correctly. Russian Scandal was a game in. which one player wrote a story on a slate. He took another player aside and told the story to him; the first player told the second, the second told the thirdand so until the last player relayed the tale aloud to all the players. The final version was compared with the original story on the slate, and the difference between the two caused no end of laughter. People in the nineteenth century had to be inventive. If they didn't have a piano for Musical Chairs, they adapted the game to The Huntsman. One player was the huntsman; the others assumed the names of ap- parel and tools, such as the hat, the coat, the .gun, the powder flask and the dog. He walked around two rows of chairs on which the others were seated. When he called their names, they followed him, and when he yelled bang, everyone clambered for a chair. The player that couldn't find an empty chair dropped out. Brother I'm Bobbed could be an embarrassment to an unsuspecting player. Someone who didn't know the game was seated on a chair between two other players. A blanket was put over their heads,. The one in the middle was bopped on the head and responded Brother I'm Bobbed. Then he tried to name the culprit. Of course, he thought his companions under the blanket were being struck at well and usually suffered from several blows before he name them as the guilty ones. Snapdragon, a most unusual game, was part of the Christmas tradition in the British Isles for generations. Raisins were Waged . in a large shallow bowl; spirits were• poured over them, and they were set ablaze When. the lights were turned down, the flaming bowl made interesting. images on the wall, Players sat around the table on which the bowl Was.. placed and plucked the flaming raisins from the bowl with their fingers. Then they popped them into the their mouth. to extinguish. the flames - no doubt suf- fering singed fingers and hot. tongues. That is not my idea of a Christmas pasttime. My habit after Christmas dinner is to roll to the nearest couch and sleep it off. We may chuckle at . our ancestors parlour games, .but as the economic crunch. closes in, we may find ourselves becoming as in- ventive as they were.
