"The other morning on my way to the train I came upon some queer j n-croglyphlc chalk markings on the smooth flagstones of my street, " said (sabbubs. 'I stopped to examine them I and when I unraveled their meaning I a lot of forgotten things came troop- Ing back to me. The chalk mark ings on the flagstones were made the evening before by some children who had been playing hopscotch. 'Mem ber hopscotch? 1 am afraid that too many of us grownup sinners have a more vivid knowledge of hotscotch than we have recollections of hop scptch; but of course all of us grown ups played honscotch one wav or un- I other when we were young 'tins. The chart looked differentthough, from the hopscotch charts we used to make, and I had to study for some tfme before I could recall Just what the difference was. "The various compartments of the hopscotch diagram when I was a Bhaver used to be simply numbered, but now the compartments are all dignified by geographical names, as of States and kingdoms. That same evening on my way home I stopped to watch a number of children danc ing around on one foot playing hop scotch. The girls seemed to be able to play the game better than the boys, probably because girls are light er on their feet and have a better sense of balance. "Looks easy, does that game; but If you want to nscertaln beyond all doubt that you've experienced, say, thirty years of vicissitudes since the last time you played hopscotch, just you try a hop or bo at It. I did that the evening I stopped to watch the children and they made great fun of me some of them were my own chil dren. "I found that my sense of meas urement had undergone a curious de terioration. And what hard work, that hopping about on one foot. Such hard work that I fell to wondering why I used to play at hopscotch so enthusiastically after school hours nnd nil day Saturday when I was a tike. "The children In the cities have certain seasons for certain games, but I've noticed since moving out to tho suburbs that the suburban chil dren sort of mix all of the games up all the time. For Instance, follow my leader used to bo a great game for the fall and winter In the city when I was a boy, but they play it all the time and at all seasons, do the sub urban children. It's Interesting to watch how the game Is started. In every congregation of youngsters there's invariably one strong willed, determined, masterful boy or girl who overtops the others and whose exaction of unquestioning obedience from nil the others Is quite beyond analysis. "This masterful young one Is the leader in the. follow my leader game, by general consent, and chosen for that position without any spoken words. It Just fulls out that way. Follow my leader Is a sort of game that is calculated to bring out the strong points and the nerve of the young uns who engage in It. It Is the business of the followers of their leader to do anything and every thing that leader does, including tho wading through puddles , hopping picket fences, scaling wabbly curbs, climbing trees, swinging on rickety gates and other little diversions suf ficiently out of the ordinary to cause the reluctant youngster to be called 'cowardly.' "They play tops all the year Votind out in the suburbs, too, but right now, I should Judge, is aboit the height of the top season. The girls have of late years been r'aying tops they didn't have much truck with 'em when I was a boy but girls don't seem to master tho curves of the top business. A girl throws a top from Its string something like a grown woman shies a rock at a hen. "But the patience of the little girls who try top spinning is commendable. They contrive to get their tops to whirl around feebly about once in every fivo throws, but they Btick to the game and look as If they were enjoying it. They gazo a bit en viously, however, In tho direction of the otherwise quite Incompetent and unworthy boys, who, with the sim plest kind of twists, heave a top ten feet away with a precision and skill that causes it to spin humralngly for a long time until, In fact, the boys pick their tops up on the palms of their hands and let 'em spin there. I notice that the girls don't mako much of a fist of picking up their tops on the palms of their hands. They go about the Job a bit too gin gerly, as if afraid of dirtying tho backs of their bands. "The boys who spin tops nowadays, by the way, seem to've forgotten the trick we all had it a quarter of a century or more ago of cutting deep vertical nicks In their tops, in order to extract a shriller humming from them as they whirled around. Tho boys still play ring top, though. The girls don't take to ring top. They can't see the sense of risking their tops to the top-spikes of boy top throwers a good deal more clever at top throwing than they. "And, come to think of It, this game of ring top Is a queer sort of an affair. The boy who accidentally makes a hash of throwing hl3 top has to permit the top to remain within the big chalk marked ring. Then all of the other boys take a whack at It with their tops. The boy who hits the top in the ring with the spikes of hlB top (which must remain spinning after the impact of the blow, and remain within the circular ring besides) becomes the possessor of the 'dead' top. The skilful lads know how to strike a 'dead' top without splitting it. "And, while the boys play marbles most of the year out where I live, this is the big marble season, too. The boys have got a game of marbles now that I don't remember having played when 1 was u young 'nn. The ring is only about a foot In diameter, and the taw line is a dozen feet away. From the taw line the boyB plump at the marbles in the ring, and they are not allowed to roll their marbles on the ground at all. This Is a game of marbles that requires a steady hand and first rate marksmanship. Only tho most scientific marble play ing boys play this game. The others stick to the old time big ring, about Ave feet in diameter. " 'Snatching up' still goes, I note. It will probably always endure as long as there are naturally preda- I tory boys. The youngsters of to-day, however, seem to be possessed of a hawklike vision for snatchers up. and when they perceive these bandits In the offing they knock off playing un til the pirates get out of the way. Now here is a curious tiling about boys. They thing splitting the girls' tops is nil right: perhaps it appeals to them as something funny; but they don't snatch up the girls' marbles. "Some of the hoys play the game of marbles called 'purgatory' on vacant lots. Golflsh sort of game, this purgatory, except that Instead of using clubs the boys' direct the mar bles into the purgatory holes by knuckle force, as In the regular game of marbles. The boy who is last to get his marble Into the final purga tory note has, as of old, to permit his knuckles to be shot at by the taWB of the other boys as many times as the pregrrongement calls for. it has always been a moot question. I believe, whether boys are naturally cruel or not. but the purgatory play ing boys certainly seem to enjoy the sharp cracking of the beaten boy's knuckles when they shoot their heav iest taws at the vanquished one's knuckles with all their force. "The old time prejudice of prop erly masculine boys against the girls' game of jacks still seems to prevail. Whenever you come across a -party of girls playing Jacks, with a KoMtr.ry boy engaging in the game with them, you may stand by to hear all the other boys uround call him girl names. "Jacks, viewed from a grownup point of view, is a good deal better game wheu It is played on a smooth carpet, but the little girls don't think so, and as they do the playing, grown up opinion doesn't amount to any thing. They play the game on the sidewalks, alongsido the curbing, or on the front steps. Little girls who llko to play Jacks usually have the discretion not to play the game In front of their own houses, where they are within the sight of their moth ers, because their mothers expect them to engage in active running about play when they are out, and consider that if they are inspired to pass their time at such a sedentary game as Jacks they might just as well be inside practising their piano les sons. "Both girls and boys play mumble peg nowadays. When I was n tyke a girl was considered tomboyish If she played mumblepeg. Mumblepcg is another game that seems to've changed a good deal siuce I played it. When I was a shaver we played it on boardwalks or planks, and it was a mighty scientific game. The young sters of to-day play the game on the sod, and they're not, therefore, com pelled to be so unerring in judging the r.lms of their jackknives. "I don't see many girls with a skip ping rope nowadays, though. Mod ern medical men, 1 am told, have de veloped a prejudice against skipping ropes, and if there are any little girls there used to be many of 'em who try to skip the greatest number of times compatible with keeping any breath at all in their bodies, they un dertake the performance well out of view of their mothers. It seems a pity that the skipping rope is passing In obedience to the mandate of the physicians oven though the mandate be well based, as it undoubtedly Is for there could hardly be anything prettier or more graceful than tho picture of two little girls of a size skipping rope together, their arms around each other's waist."
