A SCHOOLGIRL'S DIARY.
A SAFETY PIN".
A safety pin's a useful thing To mend a rent or tear; It s better than a piece of string I use it everywhere. When hooks and buttons will come loo<c You haven't time to stay; A safety pin will make you spruct Until another day. Elastic snaps beneath your chin. Oh! sewing is so slow; Then run and get a safety pin. The pin will never show. My mother says a stitch is best, Sfie likes to sew, yon see, I never put it to the teat, A safety pin for me! Perhaps your skirt hangs down too 1,-w And needs a tuck run in, A weary job it is to sew Just get a safety pin. A precious thing, 'this shining tin When you don't want to sew; Be sure to take a safety pin
