Lisle

Town in northeastern Illinois, on the East Branch of the Du Page River, 35 km/22 mi west of Chicago; population (1990) 19,500. Largely residential, it experienced substantial light industrial and commercial development during the 1980s, especially along the Illinois Research and Development Corridor.

Settled around 1830, Lisle served as a stopping point on the road between Chicago and Aurora. Illinois Benedictine College (1887) is here. Lisle is also the site of the Morton Arboretum (1922).

The one with red cheeks is called Miss Smith; she attends to the work, and cuts out--for we make our own clothes, our frocks, and pelisses, and everything; the little one with black hair is Miss Scatcherd; she teaches history and grammar, and hears the second class repetitions; and the one who wears a shawl, and has a pocket- handkerchief tied to her side with a yellow ribband, is Madame Pierrot: she comes from Lisle, in France, and teaches French.
