front of another couple, he is the catcher and pursues the other
child.



PUSS IN THE CORNER.


All the children except one stand in corners, or in any fixed stations
if there are not enough corners to go around. The one who is out
stands in the middle to represent "Puss." The players then beckon to
each other one at a time saying, "Here, puss, puss," and run and
change places with the one who is called.

Puss tries to get one of the vacant places. If she succeeds, the
child who is left out is "Puss," until she manages to obtain a place.



I HAVE A BASKET.


One child begins by saying: "I have a basket." The one to his left
says: "What is in it?" The first one replies with the name of some
article beginning with "a," as "apples."

No. 2 says: "I have a basket," and the next one to him says: "What is
in it?" No. 2 replies: "Apples and bananas," (or some other word
beginning with "b").
