"Madelaine," asked her mother, when home she came at noon,

"How did you like your teacher, or can't you tell so soon?"

MADELAINE.

"Oh, yes, I formed my 'pinion long 'fore I started home,

She's rather pleasant, looks quite wise, and wears a lovely comb,

But surely she is stupid in spite of her wise looks,

'Cause she only asked us questions from out a lot of books.
