My little sister and I take HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE. She is nine, and
I am twelve. My brother has a cat nine years old. He is gray, and
striped with black. My aunt has a Maltese cat twenty-seven years
old. I go to the Central School, and I am in the sixth class. There
is a parlor game called capping rhymes. One person gives two or
three lines of some piece of poetry, and some other person takes
two or three lines of another piece, the first word beginning with
the first letter of the last word of the preceding person's verse.
