Remember, the two hats removed must always be contiguous ones, and you must take one in each hand and place them on their new pegs without reversing their relative position.

Try it with counters of two colours or with coins, and remember that the two empty pegs must be left at one end of the row. 237.--BOYS AND GIRLS.
