into
representing rose petals. On each petal write a familiar quotation
relating to the rose.

These leaves are to be passed around the table, each guest taking one,
and when done with it, passing it on.

Prizes will be offered to the guests who are able to name the authors of
the largest number of quotations.

Here are some of the verses:

That which we call a rose,
By any other name would smell as sweet.

--_Shakespeare_.

But earthlier happy is the rose distilled
Than that which, withering on the virgin thorn
Grows, lives, and dies in single blessedness.

--_Shakespeare_.

The rose is fairest when 'tis budding new;
And hope is brightest when it dawns from fears.
The rose is sweetest washed with morning dew,
And love is loveliest when embalmed in tears.

--_Scott_.

'Tis the last rose of summer
Left blooming alone.

--_Moore_.

You may break, you may shatter the vase if you will,
But the scent of the roses will hang round it still.

--_Moore_.

He wears the rose
Of youth upon him.

--_Shakespeare_.

As though a rose should shut and be a bud again.

--_Keats_.

She wore a wreath of roses,
That night when first we met.

--_T. H. Bayley_.

The rose that all are praising
Is not the rose for me.

--_T. H. Bayley_.

Loveliest of lovely things are they
On earth that soonest pass away.
The rose that lives his little hour
Is prized beyond the sculptured flower.

--_Bryant_.

Flowers of all hue and without thorn the rose.

--_Milton_.

A rosebud set with little wilful thorns,
And sweet as English air could make her, she.

--_Tennyson_.

Let us crown ourselves with rosebuds before they be withered.

--_Bible_.

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old time is still a flying;
And this same flower that smiles today,
Tomorrow wille be dying.

--_Herrick_.

Their lips were four red roses on a stalk.

--_Shakespeare_.

And I will make thee beds of roses
And a thousand fragrant posies.

--_Marlowe_.

These, of course, will be only about half enough, but the hostess can
add others to them.

The prize for the best list of answers should suggest roses in some way.
