This is an excellent game to
.breaking the tee at a party, and
has just enough of a catch in it to
make it worthy of being classed as
a; trick. The party is arranged in
a circle and the leader takes a pair
of scissors. Ile hands it to hie
neighbor either' on the left or the
right, asking him to return the
scissors to hiui. This done he
passes the soissors to his other
renghlior, saying; "I received thein
crossed and pass them uncrossed,"
-Or "I received them uncrossed and
passed them crossed," or whatever
the facts in the cage may be: The
neighbor -passes them to Me neigh-
bor with the same remark, changed
in accord with the. facts. If the re
mark is in accord with the facts
the leader' so announces: and those
who know the catch chime in: If it
18 incorrect, ,,the player; is so ad
vlsed. The game continues until
every person in. the 'circle has.
learned just where the. catch lies,•
and is able to pass ;the scissors with
tiro correct remark. This may
sound simple, but it always "pro
duces considerable amusement and
it is rare indeed that everyone in
the party discovers the secret:
The secret Is simply this:: If'
either the, arms or the legs of the
person passing the scissors . are
crossed, the scissors. are said to be
passed crossed . If the person re-
ceiving them has either: his. arms
or -legs crossed, 'hs receives them
crossed. 11 neither legs nor arms
are crossed; the scissors are passed
or received uncrossed:. Clever play-
ers hido,the secret by, not crossing
the legs, as that is usually •quickly
discovered, but depending- entirely
upon the crossing of the arms
while receiving or passing the
scissors. The uninitiated may thus.
learn half the secret but be cone
pletely at sea concerning the rest
of it.
