—R. W. LOWRIE.

Such a little woman,

Busy little fingers,

Gravely shelling beans,

Eyes of sweetest blue;

Kitty looks as she would say,

"Don't you bother, kitty,

"Tell me what it means!"

I have work to do.

"You may sit and watch me

While I'm shelling beans;

I am helping mother,

That is what it means."
