given to that member of each party who has the greatest number of marks against his or her name showing that he or she has sent the bubble through the goal oftener than any player on the same side. Or, if preferred, prizes may be given to every child belonging to the winning party.
The other way in which Bubble Bowling may be played is much simpler, and does not require an even number of players, as no sides are formed. Each bowler plays for himself, and is allowed five successive trials if three bubbles out of the five be blown through the goal, the player is entitled to a prize. The child acting as assistant becomes the next bowler, and so on until the last in turn becomes bowler, when the one who began the game takes the place of assistant.

The Knickerbocker Boy. By Caroline S. King. I. I ’m a knickerbocker boy! See my coat and breeches! Cuffs and collar, pocket too— Made with many stitches! I must have a watch and chain, A silk umbrella and a cane.— No more kilts and skirts for me! I ’m a big boy—don’t you see? II. Knickerbockers! Knickerbockers! Give away my other clothes! Give away my horse with rockers; I want one that really goes. Two brisk, prancing goats will do; But I ’d like a wagon too. No more chairs hitched up for me I ’m a big boy—don’t you see?
