My Lady's Wardrobe.
The children sit in a ring, and are named according to the articles of a lady's wardrobe. The child in the centre of the circle of players names some article, as, "My lady wants her brush, brush, brush." She who has received that name must answer before the third utterance or pay forfeit. The speaker naturally pronounces the word as fast as possible.
No. 125.
Housekeeping.
(A ROUND.)
Kittie put the kettle on,
Kettle on, kettle on,
Kittie put the kettle on,
We'll all have tea.
To this familiar little round, girls five or six years of age, in New York, sometimes prefix a fragment of some ballad—
Here stands a red rose in the ring—
Promised to marry a long time ago.
