“The Game of Don’ts and Old Maid” was published in 1905 by McLoughlin. Players are instructed to collect pairs of cards showing wretched specimens of humanity, thereby teaching them (the players) not to be stupid, hoggish, silly, proud, untidy, a crank, a scold, etc. One of the things not to be is an old maid, so one of the cards can be removed to play Old Maid. This is our 33rd Old Maid, and here she is. You can’t read it on this scan, but the book she’s carrying is The Novels of Irving Bacheller:
