A Paris pair; Their day's doings

by Beatrice Bradshaw Brown

EIGHT O’CLOCK

NINE O’CLOCK

FOR déjeuner our children eat
A bowl of milk and bit of bread;
Or sometimes, for a special treat,
A croissant, crisp and fresh, instead.
Jeanette displays her bringing up,
For daintily she sips and lingers.
Her brother drains his brimming cup,
And then—oh, horror!—licks his fingers!
