Song Soiree

This game is played the same as the "Art Soiree" only in the place of names of animals on the slips of paper, write the names of popular and patriotic songs such as,- "It was My Last Cigar," "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, the Boys are Marching," "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean," "After the Ball," "When the Robins Nest Again," "Sweet Violets," "Over the Garden Wall," "Little Fisher Maiden," etc., as each guest receives a slip of paper, they call out the number, and then draws on the black board such as a cigar for,-"It was my Last Cigar" then draw a large ball with a boy running after it for,-"After the Ball." The guests in turn write on their paper what they think it is, opposite the number on their card. An ornament of a little Dresden china Piano is appropriate for the first prize and a brass horn for the booby.
