MISS MOUSER'S TEA PARTY.

For Mrs. Mouser says she thinks

That kittens ought to know

How things are made, that to their cooks

They may good methods show.

Miss Mouser tries to do her best;

But now and then she dips

Her whiskers in the bowl of cream,

And just the least drop sips!

The happy day arrives at last,

And Mrs. Mouser stands,

With Kitty by her side, to bow

And shake their old friends' hands;

For so they chose to call their paws

Once in a way, you see;

For Pussies like to be quite grand

When they go out to tea.
