RISES Battledoor and shuttlecook is
played in the streets not only by girls
in twos and threes and in circles, but
also by whole family. Father, mother,
sisters and brothers all join in the
game, knocking the shuttleoook from
one to another, and if one fails to hit it
in time to keep it from the ground all
the other players rush to give that one
a light blow with the bat. Sometimes
the punishment for failure is having a
circle drawn round the eyes or the face
otherwise marked. The bat is of wood,
with one side plain, the other orna-
mented with the picture of some we'll

or of singing girl. The shuttlecock
