A Mothers Meeting


"I Wish" said Nell, "to say to you,
I think our dolls an hour or two
Should spend at school, to learn to spell,
And read, and, maybe, write as well.

What's your opinion, Alice Gray?"
"I think with you and Minnie May,
Our dolls should go to school at once
Twere sad indeed if mine should be a dunce.

Miss Waxhead's school, in Play-house Street,
Our wants, I think, will nicely meet."
Said Nelly, You are right, and so
Next week to school our dolls shall go .
