1. SPREAD the cloth--this is the way,
Cups and saucers, where are they?

2. Put them at one end in rows,
See, a spoon with each one goes.

3. One plate for each person bring,
And a napkin in a ring.

4. Here's a jug of milk so hot,
Sugar next, and coffee-pot.

5. Bread and butter place we here,
Then we get the chairs, my dear.

6. Ring the bell, and all sit round,
Each should in his place be found.

Directions.--The table may be laid by two children only, or several
may be employed, but different children should take part each time the
game is played, so that all may learn how to carry the cups, &c., and
how to place them.
