A Chinese Game.Song.

'sLoy Vow, a bright, red-cheeked
little Chinese girl, blinded her eyes,
and the rest of the players fell into line
with their hands held open in cup-shape
behind them, while Wong Hay circled
around the line lightly touching the
open hands as she passed, and grooming
in peculiar Chinese sing-song tone the
following little game-song, much as
American children sing, TREAD, tread
the green grass" or .'Green gravel,
green gravel, how green the grass
grows:
Come madens all, and stand in line,
Put back your fiowerike hands to mine,
The pledge now flies it flies away
To the eastern land-the land of day.
IT'S the lantern feastl Ninth moon COM
mandsi
To 10y Vow, whom they now called
"Hide-Your-Eyes,' Wong Hay now
sang:
"Come, thunder-shower, with all your power,
And open this four-ingored fiowerl"
Meantime, as she sang, she had drop
ped into one of the hands the little
pledge-a thimble or some little keep
sake selected for the occasion, much as
American children use button in a
similar game. AT the words, 'Maidens,
lift your flower-like hands," as it is
literally translated, all the hands were
raised high above their heads, but close
ly shut, SO that none could tell who held
the little pledge.
At the words addressed to Hide
Ycur-Eyes," 10y Vow came out from
the shed. and, using long stick as if it
were wand, pointed to the one whom
she suspected OF having the little
pledge.
She was not successful, however, for
the hands opened and nothing was
found there. So she had to try it all
over; while Wong Hay walked about
again, and sang the little oriental
melody.
The second time she looked very close
ly into the faces of her Chinese playfel-
lows, and she saw SO funny look on
Qui FANS that she Immediately pointed
her out Qui Fah's hands were opened
amid much laughter and merriment,
and there was the sought-for keepsake!
Then they changed places, and Qui Fab
became '.Hide-Y our-Eyes. So. Nicho-
las.
