A pretty Miss with rings on her fingers and bells on her toes, came to fetch a pail of water. ' I'm going milking, sir, she said. 'The sheep's in the meadows, the cows in the corn; but leave them alone and they'll come home, eating a Christmas Pie'.' Sudilenlv' there came a big spider and sat down beside her, so she jumped into a bramble bush, where there were four and twenty blackbirds, and so tlio poor dog had none." _ Open to members of " I'nys and Girls only. Four I en-mark card prizes. Closing' date April 20. Mark envelopes " Nonsense Rhymes "
