WITH MANY APOLOGIES TO MR. BURGESS Why Jane S. always seemed so sweet, was that she kept so clean and neat. She never smootched her face with coal, her picture books were fresh and whole. Just fancy Katherine for a name! Yet she was clever all the same; she knew arithmetic, at four, as well as girls of nine or more. Oh! Think of Helen when you ' re bad; think what a happy way she had of saying Thank you! — If you please — Excuse me, sir and words like these. (Yet she was human like us all. Her muddy footprints tracked the hall.) The gentle Lois tried her best to please her friends with merry jest; she tried to help them when she could, for Lois she was very good. If Louise ' s mother told her No she made but little of her woe; she always answered Yes, I ' ll try! for Louise F. thought it wrong to cry. Was Betty happy? I should say! She laughed and sang the livelong day. She made her mother smile with bliss to see her sunny-tempered miss. To see young Polly at her work, you ' d know she ' d never try to shirk. The most unpleasant things she ' d do, if but her mother asked her to. Miss Thomas took peculiar pride in making others satisfied. One time I asked her for her head, Why, certainly! Alicia said. Miss Elsie she was meek and mild, she softly spoke, she sweetly smiled. She never called her playmates names, and she was good in running games. Nancy was noted for the way with which she helped her comrades play, she ' d lend her cart, she ' d lend her ball, her marbles and her dolls and all. The jealous Ouie Conway was such, as casual callers flatter much. Her maiden aunts would say with glee How good, how pure, how dear is she. What shall I say of Philip Moore, save that he always shut the door? He always put his toys away when he had finished with his play. Larney B. would take off his hat and bow and smile and things like that. His face and hair were always neat, and when he played he did not cheat. How interesting Jimmy seemed! He never fibbed, he seldom screamed. His company was quite a treat to all the children on the street. Don ' t think that Mister Booth is ill because he sometimes keeps so still. He knows his mother does not care to hear him talking everywhere. When Heath B. cared to be polite, they called him gentlemanly, quite; his man- ners were correct and nice; he never asked for jelly twice. Billy and Tommy were a pair who acted kindly everywhere; they studied hard, as good as gold, they always did as they were told; they never put on silly airs, but they took things that were not theirs. When Pierre ' s brother Pierre hit, was Pierre angry? Not a bit! He called the blow a little joke and then no more about it spoke. Page 18
