 DAME TRIMMER'S SCHOOL.

girl who was much taller and older than the
others, and who appeared to be teaching them,
noticed Bertha's shyness, and bade the children
attend to their lessons, which was very polite of
her. To Bertha's distress, Dame Trimmer said at
once she would be very glad to take charge of
her, saying that she had taught her mother, Miss
Beeta, when she too was a little girl. This in-
formation was certainly a little cheering, because
she had been thinking Julia Layton would scarcely
approve of her going to such a plain school. To
her great delight, she found she was not to go to
school for a week; and while nurse arranged all
the business part, she inwardly determined to
have as happy a week of it as a little girl could.
