M'<** Ann and Jane Smith's T<ii> l >?/ ( 

 Two GENTLEMEN AND ALL THE LADIES. 



The ladies all remain in their places, and two gentlemen in shawls and 

 bonnets or caps go round, one with a saucer of milk, the other with a tea- 

 spoon, with which she gives a sip of milk to each, saying, "Take that, 

 my pretty puss ! " to which, after taking it, " puss " must gravely answer 



Mew." Laughter must be severely punished. 



The Horrid Man. 

 ONE GENTLEMAN. 



He must go round and pay a bad compliment to every lady in the 

 room, who is to answer " You horrid man ! " Any one who laughs is to 

 pay a forfeit. 



The Rebuff. 



A LADY OR GENTLEMAN. 



The lady or gentleman go and perform a sneeze to each of the gentle- 

 men, if a lady, and vice versa. The answer is to be, " I'm not to be sneezed 

 at." No one must laugh under penalty of paying a forfeit. Those who 

 can command their gravity must indeed have a rare control over them- 



Pat a Cake. 

 Two GENTLEMEN LADIES ad lib. 



Tli.- two gentlemen sit on low stools, patting each other's head. The 

 ladies dance round three times, singing-
