About Mother Goose.

''Is 1t true-about Jill?" asked Dot.
YES" l answered. Il have no doubt
there was, somewhere, sometime, real
Jack and jill. and that they went for
pail of water, and tumbled down hill.
l think most of the Mother Goose
rhymes started from some real saying
or doing or happening. Most of them
are very old, too. The Jack and jill
Jingle was favorite in England long,
long ago-indeed, | rather think Jack
and Jill came over in the Mayiiower.
And we do know, for sure, that there
was a Mother Goose. and that when
Boston was village, two hundred
years ago, she lived there, and had a
little girl named Elizabeth!
"Oh-really and truly" cried Dot.
Tell me about it." well, when Mo-
ther Goose's little girl. Elizabeth YER
Vergoose was the real family

Fleet. a printer, and had a little son OF
her own. Now Grandmother Vergoose
was very fond OF Elizabeth's little boy.

and, being a wonderfully jolly grand

son all the jingles she could remember.

carrying the little Vergoose grandchild
about the house. she made up the
'Goosey. goosey. gander' verse-Eliza-

sey. and not any bird at ALL"
OH said Dot. "and what next?"
We'll. Grandmother Vergoose sang
her rhymes over and over. and sang
them so loud that the neighbors all
heard, and laughed about It. and Mr..
Fleet was vexed-until one day he
had happy thought. and wrote down
the rhymes. and printed book OF
them. Songs Of the Nursery But.
perhaps as n Joke on Grandmother
Vergoose. he also printed on the title
