An italian Game.

A traveller describes game which is
popular with the children Of Italy. 1t
is very like one played by American
children. In Italy the game is called
counting the eggs, and is thus played:
The children sit in row on the grass
with every pair of brown feet we'll in
sight. The mother counts her eggs
that is, the childrens feet-and then
says: Nov, there are 16 eggs Be sure
you don t eat any while 60 to church. "
In her absence the children tuck up
certain number of feet under their
rooks and say, "What a long time
mother is at church," She comes home,
counts the eggs and says: "Why, how
is this? l left l6 and now there are only
ten" The children answer that wom-
an came while she was gone and offered
four chickens for the six eggs, and they
took her offer. ''Where are the eggs?"
asked the mother "Down in the field"
they reply The mother goes to seek
them, and no sooner is her back turned
than all her children jump and dance
about, shouting, We've eaten them
ourselves" whereupon the mother has
to catch them all and whip them. The
last one caught has to be the mother the
next time.
