Place a lighted candle behind a tall screen covered with white linen.
The hostess should sit before it and each of the company must in turn
pass between the candle and the screen. The game is to guess the person
behind the screen by means of their shadow.
The guesser should leave the room while the one to be named is
selected, and on returning, he should not look to find out who is
missing, but honestly guess from the silhouette.
Sometimes it adds to the fun to use a disguise, as at a masquerade,
for example, put on a long skirt, fasten up the hair, etc., in no case
cover the face, as it is difficult to give the right name, with every
advantage.
