Progressive Needles,

A Arrange the tables in the room the same as you would for cards. In the center of each table place a dish containing a quantity of needles, ranging from very fine to very course. By the side of the dish a spool of thread No. 36. After the guests have arrived draw for partners with numbers the same as you do for progressive cards. When the signal is given the one that gets the thread first breaks of a piece and threads a needle. The one that gets the thread next does the same. Each trying to see who can thread the most needles in the given time. Each needle must be threaded on a separate thread. Progress by partners the same as in cards. Before leaving the table draw the threads from the needles and replace in the dish. The time that is usually given is about three minutes. Each one keeps tally of the number of needles they have threaded, and at the end of the game, the lady and gentleman that thread the most receive a price. A silver needle case is appropriate for the first price and a very unique prize for the booby is a diamond pin (dime and pin). Take a ring box and in the place where you put the ring stand a nice new dime on one side, pin through the velvet, lengthwise, a common pin, then put the cover on, and when ready present it to the winner, with a good deal of ceremony.
