| 1. A popular flower. | 1. Carnation. |
| 2. Unruliness. | 2. Insubordination. |
| 3. A gift for charitable purposes. | 3. Donation. |
| 4. The installation of a king. | 4. Coronation. |
| 5. Resolution, or “grit.” | 5. Determination. |
| 6. The murder of an eminent person. | 6. Assassination. |
| 7. Fancy, or mental representations. | 7. Imagination. |

The prizes should then be awarded. A pretty silk banner will be acceptable to a man, while a big bunch of red and white carnations tied with a blue ribbon, or a pound of confectionery in a box decorated with flags and other patriotic emblems will make a pretty gift for a lady.
