Charades
(Acted).
A
drawing
room
with
folded
doors
is
the
best
for
the
purpose.
Various
household
appliances
are
employed
to
fit
up
something
like
a
stage,
and
to
supply
the
fitting
scenes.
Characters
dressed
in
costumes
made
up
of
handkerchiefs,
coats,
shawls,
table-covers,
&c.,
come
on
and
perform
an
extempore
play,
founded
upon
the
parts
of
a
word,
and
its
whole,
as
indicated
already.
For
instance,
the
events
explained
in
the
poem
given
might
be
acted--glasses
might
be
rung
for
bells--something
might
be
said
in
the
course
of
the
dialogues
about
the
sound
of
the
bells
being
delightful
to
the
ear;
there
might
be
a
dance
of
the
villagers,
in
which
a
ring
might
be
formed;
a
wedding
might
be
performed,
and
so
on:
but
for
acting
charades
there
are
many
better
words,
because
Ear-ring
could
with
difficulty
be
represented
without
at
once
betraying
the
meaning.
There
is
a
little
work
entitled
"Philosophy
and
Mirth
united
by
Pen
and
Pencil,"
and
another
work,
"Our
Charades;
and
How
we
Played
Them,"
[1]
by
Jean
Francis,
which
supply
a
large
number
of
these
Charades.
But
the
following
is
the
most
extensive
list
of
words
ever
published
upon
which
Charades
may
be
founded:

Them,"
