Billy was going with his mother to ~
seashore, and while she was packing scs

minutes with something Of his that must
be packed also.
I'D like to help you, mother, " he said
once, preparing to pitch his fishing tackle
IN on his mothers lace gown, cause You

catching the tackle, I'm rest after awhile.
Packing Is hard work for tall person,

OUR BOYS AND GIRLS.
The Dolls WOOing.

The little French doll was dear little doll
Tricked out in the sweetest of dresses
Her eyes were Of hue
most delicate blue,
And dark as the night were her tresses;
Her dear little mouth was iuted and red,
And this little French doll was so very well bred
That whenever accosted, her little mouth said,
"Mamai mamal"
The stockinet doll, with one arm and one leg,
Had once been a handsome young fellow,
But now he appeared
Rather frouzy and bleared
In his torn regimentals of yellow;
Yet his heart gave a curious thump as he lay
In the little toy cart near the window one day
And heard the sweet voice of that French dolly
say
"Mamal mamal"
He listened so long and he listened so hard
That anon he grew ever so tender,
For It's everywhere known
That the feminine tone
Gets away with all masculine genderi
He up and he wooed her with soldierly zest,
But all she'd reply to the love he professed
Were these plaintive words (which perhaps you
have guessed,
"Mamal mamal"
Her mother-a sweet little lady Of five
Vouchsafed her parental protection,
And although stockinet
Wasn't blueblooded. yet
She really could make no objectioni
So soldier and dolly were welded one day,
And moment ago, as journeyed that way,
I'm sure that heard a baby voice say,
"Mamal mamal"
