Telegrams

Some one reads 10 letters at random from a book, perhaps the letters with which 10 lines begin. Each player being provided with paper and pencil, must write a telegram, the 10 words of which should begin with the chosen letters, though not necessarily in the order in which they were announced. A general subject may be given out for all to "telegraph" about, or each may choose his own. The telegrams are signed and handed to one of the party, who then reads them aloud.
