   (continued from previous page)

   the child who was caught will have to give out the game. I
   When she has finished saying, silk, satin, cotton, velvet, muslin rags, She throws a handkerchief at one of the children saying "I lost my handkerchief and you found it".
   The child at whom she has thrown the handkerchief goes inside the ring and the girls outside tries to get hold of her.
   Each time she tries to enter the ring the children all stoop down to prevent her entering. They rise up again and again she attempts to enter the ring.
   The children in the ring bend down as before and the game proceeds in this way over and over again until finally the girl outside succeeds in entering the ring and getting hold of the child inside.
   Then the game commences over again.
