A TREASURY OF STORIES, JINGLES AND RHYMES.

SPANISH CHILD.

SOFT brown eye and a loving heart,
A winsome smile—yet a roguish art,

For my little lady has learned the trick,

With motion slow and motion quick,

To make her fan
speak whatever
she will,

Though her dainty
lips are perfectly
still.

Take care! when
the days are
drowsy and
warm,

She will put you
to sleep with a

waving charm!

Edith M. Thomas.
