geese we'-2 the ones, but there are
others who copy us pretty well, and
are as near real geese as creatures

Then they heard that many Of the
COWS and many of the other animals
had been out all of the winter because
it had been mild along those parts.
'They saw many children playing
different kinds of games. These were
some of the games they played. l am
wondering If you two know them!'

well, one of the games Ellie Ell
and the other Elves saw being played
q good deal was clock golf.
ANY old kind Of a golf stick did, and
there was a large circle made of all
the figures Of a c~lock-frOm n to
twelve.
These we're made Of pieces of wood
and Ellie said that in n place she
saw they had been cut out and made
from old cardboard boxes.
well, there was a hole in the cen
ter of this plct--the clock was set out
On lawns or anywhere of that sort,
Efie said.
THE idea was to see how few
! strokes one had TO take to get the ball
from each figure OF the clock to the
golf hole.
''IGfie said that she saw many boys
and girls having lots Of fun playing
clock golf as it was called.
THE circle was about the size OF Il
small sized lawn.
Then she saw some children play
ing tether ball. There was n big pole
from which hung an old tennis ball
securely fastened to a string.
"One person got on one side of the
pole with Il tennis racquet and another
at the other side and each tried to hit
the ball so as TO make it wind up on
the pole.
The one who made it wind up first
on his side won the game.
And another game .Effie Elf saw
being played was something called
beach tennis which she said could be
played almost anywhere.
"She said you marked out n small
sized tennis court, drawing the lines

altogether Effie and the Elves had
a very fine trip, for as Ellie said:
lit is fun to get u and see what
others are doing once in a while, and
we saw animals and people, or people
and animals, whichever way you want
to put it,
And they enjoyed their trip so
much they asked me to tell you where
they had gone and to tell you that
