in getting up the celebration. A town meet

The Girls and the Wives.

Somebody has written the following about
the girls, and set it ahoat en- the sea Of No vs.
paperdom:
God bless the girls,
Whose gelden curls
Blend with our evening dreams;
They haunt our lives
Like spirit wives,
Or-as naiads haunt the SIRENS.
They soothe our pains,
They fill our brains
With dreams of summer hours
God bless the girls,
God bless their curls,
God bless our human flowers.
The wives, we think, are quite as deserv-
ing as the girls-therefcre the following IL
respectfully submitted:
God bless the wives,
They ill our hives
With little bees and honey;
They ease life's shocks,
They mend our socks,
But-don't they spend the money
When we are sick;
They heal us quick
That is, if they love us;
II not, we die,
And yet they cry
And place tombstones above US.
Of roguish girls,
With sunny curls,
We may in fancy dream;
But wives-true wives
Throughout our irsas--. -
Are everything they seem.
