WHICH DO YOU CHOOSE?

[Illustration: BETTY LOU DOLLY POLLY SALLIE SUE]

"Oh, ho! little maidens, all in a row,
And each one wearing a butterfly bow.
Which is the prettiest, Betty, or Lou,
Dolly, or Polly, or Sallie, or Sue?
I do not know, so I'll have to ask you."

SEVEN LITTLE MICE

BY STELLA GEORGE STERN

Little-Mouse-Sunday found a great, big bun;
Little-Mouse-Monday wished that _he_ had one;
Little-Mouse-Tuesday was fat enough without;
Little-Mouse-Wednesday sat down to sulk and pout,
Said Little-Mouse-Thursday, "_I'll_ get one for myself!"
Said Little-Mouse-Friday, "There's another on the shelf";
Little-Mouse-Saturday began to beg and squeak;
"Come on!" said all the seven, "we've enough to last a week!"

VISITING

"Good morning, Monday!
Tell me how is Tuesday?"
"Very well, Dame Wednesday.
Please to tell Miss Thursday,
Also little Saturday,
To call on Mister Sunday."

LITTLE TOMMY'S MONDAY MORNING

Like a sneeze, that awful Aw-choo!
Came this Weakness on poor Tommy.
"Mother, dear," he whined, "dear mother,
I am feeling rather strangely--
Don't know what's the matter with me--
My right leg is out of kilter,
While my ear--my left ear--itches.
Don't you know that queerish feeling?"
"Not exactly," said his mother.
"Does your head ache, Tommy dearest?"
Little Thomas, always truthful,
Would not say his head was aching,
For, you know, it really wasn't.
"No, it doesn't _ache_," he answered
(Thinking of that noble story
Of the Cherry-tree and Hatchet);
"But I'm
