. St. Nicholas [serial] . .j THE PAPER HOUSE. Their feet will come below the floor sometimes-—that has to be ; But mother says no matter, just pretend that you dont see. The father is a nice tall man—right by the steps he stands; He s watching his eight middling boys all standing joining hands. The mother s looking from the door, as pleased as she can be;Her little girls are playing ring-a-rosy —you can thinks they re having so much fun, she 11 never make them stop-(She does nt know her littlest boy is on the chimney-top!) And at the attic window her two other little boys Are hanging out and having fun, without a bit of noise. They know hold on quite tight, so we dont think they 11 fall, And really they are having just the nicest time of all. Her houses, mother says, all used to be three stories high; They make the papers smaller now—she cant imagine why, For they really have more in them—but we think they just dont know How many little boys and girls would like to have them grow. 1127. lTUHEan^\MENCEf>^YOUNG FOLKS. x Edited by EdwardF.
