- (continued from previous page)Answer, A woman's sewing thimble. Jig is one of the games we play near home. It is a very nice game and when we are playing it we are running all the time. We all stand for a minute and one of us says some words and whoever gets the last must follow. Then we all start to run and it is all running till the end. Hide and go seek is played the same way. The games we play out side are paper chase and tig. The way we play paper chase is a few boys go off through the fields and drop some paper as they go along, and the others follow. I go catching fish in the month of July. I play Dickydigth in winter also. Some goes off and the others follow. The fellows that are off must have a light to show the others the way. When the boys say "dickydigth show your light" the others show the light.
