One child throws a tin (any kind of tin will do) to some distance, and then walks towards it without looking round. The other children, in the meantime, hide somewhere near. The child who threw the tin has to guard it, and at the same time try to find those who are hiding. If he sees one he must call the name, and run to strike the tin with his foot. He does this until each one has been discovered. As they are seen they must stand out. The one who was first found has to guard the tin next time. Should one of the players be able to strike the tin while the keeper is absent, that player calls out, “Hide again.” They can then all hide until the same keeper discovers them again.—Beddgelert (Mrs. Williams). See “New Squat.” Mouse and the Cobbler One girl stands up and personates a mother, another pretends to be a mouse, and crouches behind a chair in a corner. The mother says to another player— Go and get your father’s shirt. This player goes to the chair to look for the shirt, and is tickled or touched by the one hiding. She rushes back and calls out— Mother, there’s a mouse. Go and get your father’s coat. There’s a mouse. Go and get your father’s watch and chain. There’s a mouse. The Mother then goes to see herself. The second time she is scratched and chased. When caught she takes the Mouse’s place.—Deptford, Kent (Miss Chase). This is evidently the same game as “Ghost in the Garden” and “Ghost in the Copper,” in a decaying stage. There is no _raison d’etre_ for either mouse or cobbler. Probably these words are a corruption of the older “Ghost in the Copper.” Muffin Man [Music] —Earls Heaton (H. Hardy). [Music] —Congleton Workhouse (Miss A. E. Twemlow). I.
