Put your left elbow in, Put your left elbow out, Shake yourselves a little, And turn yourselves about. Then followed _right ear_ and _left ear_, _right foot_ and _left foot_, etc. The words we give were in use some sixty years since, when the game was danced deliberately and decorously, as old fashion was, with slow rhythmical motion. Now it has been turned into a romp, under various names (in Boston, "Ugly Mug"). The English name is "Hinkumbooby." No. 69. _My Master Sent Me._ "My master sent me to you, sir." "For what, sir?" "To do with one as I do, sir." The person who gives orders beats time with one foot, then both feet, one hand and both feet, two hands and both feet, etc. The game, like the preceding, is performed with a dancing motion. _New York._ No. 70. _Humpty Dumpty._ This game is for girls only. All present sit in a circle, then each girl gathers her skirts tightly, so as to enclose her feet. The leader begins some rhyme; all join in, and at a word previously agreed on, keeping the skirt tightly grasped, throw themselves over backward. The object now is to recover the former position without letting go the skirt. _New York._ No. 71. _Pease Porridge Hot._ This familiar little rhyme is accompanied by two players with alternate striking of the hands together and against the knees, in a way easier to practise than to describe. School-girls often use it to warm their hands on cold winter mornings. Pease porridge hot, Pease porridge cold, Pease porridge in the pot, Nine days old. No. 72. _Rhymes for a Race._ Up the street, down the street, Here's the way we go. Forty horses standing in a row; [Dolly] on the white one, [Harry] on the black one, Riding to Harrisburg _five_ miles away. _Philadelphia._ We suppose the above formula to be a rhyme for starting in a race. The common schoolboy verse-- One to make ready, Two to prepare, Three to _go slambang_, Right--down--there, appears to be a parody of the older English rhyme, One to make ready, And two to prepare, Good luck to the rider, And away goes the mare. No. 73. _Twine the Garland._ We find mentioned in the "Girls' Own Book," Boston, 1856, a dance of girls which has the characteristics of an old game. Girls take hold of hands, one standing still; the rest twist about her until they form a knot. They then untwist in the same manner, singing, "Twine the garland, girls!" and, "Untwine the garland, girls!" No. 74. _Hopping-dance._ This name was formerly given in New England to a dance similar to that known in Scotland as _Curcuddie_. The hands were clasped under the knees, and the children slowly and solemnly described squares and triangles on the floor.
