LITTLE SALLIE WATERS.

This is a game for very small children. Little Sallie Waters sits on the floor, or the grass, pretending to cry very hard. The rest move round her in a circle.

Sallie rises and selects one from the ring; a kiss is generally given; and the one chosen becomes Little Sallie Waters. The game is kept up until all the players have had a chance to fly to the one that they love best.
