HER ANSWER.
(Sent in by Jnlla Pottlt.) It was an easy question, and Margie thought it so— An eiisy one to answer, as anyone would know, She smiled and smiled again as it hung upon the wall, "In going to school what do you like, the very foest of all?" Then grew a little sober, as she began to write, Witli wrinkles on her forehead, and lips a little tight, She wrote her answer carefully, with look so grave and wise, She minded all her capitals, and dotted all her "i's." She cross her "t's" precisely; she smiled a little more, At all the pleasant images the pleasant question bore, "Of all the merry, laughing hours, and all the joyous play, The thing I like the beet of all in school—a holiday!"
