About this book
How to Behave and How to Amuse is a handy manual of etiquette and parlor games, in two parts, compiled by G. H. Sandison. Under the heading Living Pictures, the text says there are few better amusements for a large party in the same house, with plenty of time on their hands, than the organization of Tableaux vivants. A Two-Headed Girl is a figure made by two young ladies standing back to back wrapped in one large skirt, who slowly revolve when they are wound up.
The text says a gentleman's card is smaller and narrower, about 1½ × 2¾ inches, of heavier card-board, and the engraving larger and somewhat heavier. The text says to provide plenty of clay pipes, with the name of a guest written on each, and to make the soapsuds with the addition of glycerine to make the bubbles strong and tough; for the prizes for the most successful bubble blower, a fancy pipe is suitable.
