Havergal College Magazine PUSSY 1. There was a little pussy, It ' s coat was soft as silk, It never caught a mousey, Nor drank a drop of milk. 2. Now this seems rather funny, And perhaps you are in doubt, But it was a pussy willow, So now you see you ' re out. C. I. McCombe, Form IV. Lower. 64

A cure for a burn is to apply soap and bread to it, or butter will do. (Why not try bread and butter? — Ed.) A good plan to avoid losing one ' s handkerchiefs at the laundry is to sew them together. (Why not leave the spool of thread attached, and draw them home when wanted?- -Ed.) 66
