An Idyl of the Period.
IN TWO PARTS.

Come right inl How are you, Fred
Find a chair and have light"
well, old boy, recovered yet
From the Mather' jam last night Pr
DIDN'T dance, the Germans old"
DIDN'T you? had to lead
Awful bore but where were you2"
Sat it out with Mollie Meade;
Jolly little girl she is
Said she didn't care to dance,
I'd rather have quiet chat
Then she gave me such glance;
30, when you had cleared the room
And had captured all the chairs,
Having nowhere else, we two,
We two took possession of the stairs:
was on the lower step,
Mollie on the next above;s5
Gave me her boquet to hold
Asked me to draw off her glove.
Then, of course, / squeezed her hand,
Talked about my wasted life,
Said my sole salvation must
Be a true and gentle wife,
Then, you know, [ used my eyes
she believed me every word;
Almost said she loved me-Jovel
Such voice / never heard
Gave me some symbolic flower,
Had meaning, oh | so sweet;
Don't know what it is, Pm sure
Must have dropped it in the street.
How | spoonied and she-ha ha!
Well, know it wasn't right,
But she did believe me so,
That kissed her-pass light.
