course during the hard days of winter they
give the marbles rest, but they never
STOW them away for months at time as
do the boys of some of tine northern cities.
There Is a revival of interest in marbles
nereabouts every spring, however. Wash
ington boys are this year playing, many
of them, a new game of marbles that is
said to have come here from The west.
The ring is only about foot In diameter
and the taw-line is a dozen feet away.
From the taw-line the boys plump at
the marbles in the ring, and they not
allowed to roll their marbles on the
ground. 1t is a game of marbles that re-
quireS fine eye and first-rate marksmaH-
ship. Most of the Washington lads, how
ever, still stick to the old-time big ring.
about five feet in diameter The marbles
that boys play with nowadays are a good
deal finer in finish than marbles used to
be when there weren't many concrete
pavementS in Washington. and. moreover.
all of the marbles you the boys play
ing with now are round Marbles didn't
used to be all round. There were lot OF
lop-sided allies" that rolled siuggishIy and
sulked and stood stock still about half an
inch within the ring. In the old days, too,
it used to be the ambition of all marble
playing boys to get hold of an agate ''taw.
Such taws used to cost ) 10 cents and
the boy that had one of them. instead of
even the Shinest of crock for Il taw.
was regarded by other boys as a pretty
prosperous and warm member of his neigh
borhood. Every boy now has two or three
agate taws in his marble box.
Marble Pirates.

ably always go long as there are natur-
ally predatory boys The boys CT today,
however. are endowed with hawk-like Wis
ion for snatchers-up, and when they Ter
ceive them in the distance they knock OF
playing until the pirates get out of the
way. 1t has often been noticed that Wash
fngton boys treat their girl friends pretty
chivalrously. They may split the girls
tops. 1t is true. but they think top-split-
Ting Is funny, ana they no evil. If
you .are in the marble PLAY wing neghbor-
hood you will observe the great pains the
boys take to teach the girls how to play
marbles. Girls don't appear to have
enough strength in their knucklcs to
achieve much success at the game but
they piod along at it braveIy. SnatchinS
up doesn't go when girls are playing mar
hles together. The mean boy who grabs q
girls marbles and bolts for ii is impair

next time he turns up
Some of the boys play the marble game
called "purgatory' vacant lots 1t is
sort of golfish, this game of purgatory, ex-
cept that instead of using clubs the BOYS
direct the marbles into the purgatory holes
by knuckle force, as in the regular game of
