Synopsis
Excerpt from The Book of Frolics: For All Occasions
The answers were kept secret by the hostess in order that the two players remaining at this table should not have an unfair advantage over the two newcomers.
Patriotic Anagrams was a new version of the familiar game. The letter chips were placed face downward in the middle of the table. Some one, to begin the game, lifted a chip from the pile and turned it letter side up. The person first to call out some word of patriotic sug gestion beginning with the letter turned up received the chip. The greatest number of chips held by any player won the flag.
As an illustration of the working of the game we will say that the letter B is turned up. A player calls out Ball, and receives the chip, Mary Ball being the name of the great man's mother, it will be remembered.
Or the letter S appears. Some one names the Stars and Stripes, and is successful.
