Alice is going for a two week vacation and we'll hold off till she <br> | |||

Picked up $187.50 check for advance royalty on <u>CARRE</u>. <br> | |||
Bill Caruson told Alice to write to him and ask for samples <br> | |||
of <u>SIT DOWN AND THINK</u> in November. | |||
Went to Brentano's. | |||
Bought <u>THE GAMES PEOPLE PLAY GAME</u>. ($10) <br> | |||
Saw <u>JUTLAND</u> (A.H.) Just glances at it since I'll eventually buy it. <br> | |||
<u>WORD OUT</u> (M.B.) There is cardboard top piece with sliding <br> | |||
windows. There are a number of cardboard pieces <br> | |||
which are used, one for a game, under the top <br> | |||
piece. Next to most of the windows there are <br> | |||
words. One of the windows id marked "1st letter", <br> | |||
another "2nd letter", another "last letter". Object is <br> | |||
to guess the word on the card used. If a window <br> | |||
with a word is opened, the number of letters common <br> | |||
to the word shown and the word to be guessed is <br> | |||
given. 1st letter window gives the first letter in the <br> | |||
word to be guessed. There are points lost for opening <br> | |||
windows, the first letter being more than for letters <br> | |||
in common, etc. Guessing word with least points <br> | |||
is the object. (Fairly complete rules.) <br> | |||
<u>TWISTER</u> (M.B.) Finally read the rules. Players start <br> | |||
with their two feet in circles near the ends <br> | |||
(and edges if 3 or four are playing). The referee <br> | |||
spins a dial which gives one of the four limbs and <br> | |||
a color. The players must <s>mus</s> move that limb to <br> | |||
a <s>color of 1</s> circle of that color. They may temporarilly <br> | |||
lift a limb to pass another under. When a <br> | |||
player cannot make a required shift or if a knee <br> | |||
or elbow touches the floor they are out. <br> | |||
If only two players are available they eliminate <br> | |||
the spinner and take turns calling the next limb <br> | |||
and color. | |||
Claude called. Fay wants to give Sue Murphy 5% of our share. <br> | |||
Also she is annoyed at BB for not finishing the typing. | |||
