RIDDLE RHYME

Now, here is a riddle-me-ree Which I'm sure tho answer you'll see. Now let us begin, I wonder who'll win. Away we go—one, two and thtee. My first is a capital letter. , Now that's a good start, there's no better. This letter's in best h"t not in quest, Now I'm sure that, is already guessed. My next is a vowel of fame. I'm sure you can guess its name, For it's not in 'friend and is in foe, Now I'm pretty < well certain the answer you know. ' •• So far we have but letters two. Thai's not very fast, we'll hurry through. So the next is in towny but uot in rural, While the next is plain, for it makes it quito plural. Tho next is a space. That's seen without fuss, Whilo the next word means something really like plus. " The next word's important/ I'll make you guess that, And its first is in dog but not in cat. Its next is in tidy but not in mess. Now here is a letter I'm sure you can guess, For it is in more but not in less, While the next is as plain as tho nose on your face, For it is in sole but not in dace; > While the next is in cards but not in ace. Now the last is the full-stop, the end of the phrase, While the whole is something whose famo lasts for days. It is the name of a page kept by Anne, I'm sure'you all read it whenever you can. Answer. —Boys and Girls.' —From Mary Hyland.
