Excerpt from New Games for Parlor and Lawn: With a Few Old Friends in a New Dress
ON examination of the New Games for Parlor and Lawn, the publishers requested that a few old favorites should be added. Their wise suggestions have been carried out, with some changes in the method of playing the games, the dramatic scenes being so simply arranged that children can easily prepare them for home amusement, although some of them have already earned large sums at charitable entertainments. The author expresses here his earnest thanks to the publishers of EM pei'lé' Y ouggfieople, The Y out/l's cowman/jon, and Wide Awake, ~for their courtesy in ao cording him permission to reprint articles which he originally contributed to their col umns.
