THEY'LL not harm you. mother spider,
For your babies have no fear.

MISS Sing a Song of Sixpence":
Sing song Of gladness,
Pocket full Of rice;
Twenty four mynah birds
Baked In pie so nice;
When the pie was opened
The mynahs tried to sing;
Wasn't that funny dish
To set before the King7
The King was in the Palace
Counting out his money;
On lanai sat the Queen
Eating bread and honey;
Wash-man on the house-top
Hanging out his clothes;
Up flew q mynah bird
And picked at his toes.

advanced thinking women placed in po-
