FLOWER CHASE.
(Sent in by I.eulu Reed. 12. Camborne Road, Sandringhain; age 14.)
Any number of players may play— the more the merrier. Each player chooses the name of a flower. They all join hands in a circle, save one who stands in the centre. This player begins to tell a story, into which she must bring the name of a flower. She may say: "In my garden this morning I found a violet." The player who has chosen this name breaks, out of the ring, and runs round the circle three times, with the centre player or "chase" in pursuit. If the flower regains her place without being caught, "chase" returns to (he centre, and continues her story. If. however, she catches the flower she takes her place in the ring, while the flower, who is captured, takes the place of "clia.-.e" and tells the story.
