writing,
Some lessons and points on the subject
of fighting,
A long course on house building, heating
and lighting,
For OVER her classmates she'd soar.
So she entered the subject oil steam navI-
cation,
Took also instruction in church educa-
ton,
And mastered the study of impersona-
ton,
And still she was longing for more.
Next she tackled the latest great fad,
electricity,
Dress reform institutes taught her SIM
piiciIy,
Sought the best way to encourage felicity,
Oh she's as smart as DOCK I!
She at last ended up with course In
promotes,
Gave a little attention and time to ath
etics,
The rest of her leisure she gave to mag
Detlcs,
And now she is learning to cook
