Dear Charlie:
I'm down in the dolarums; bin landed. my boy, and
Never thought to be bowled ont 90 clean Nv a nat

dowl 10 the ground,
VINO could boast of as many bun four taass as any
big swell knocking round
You remember my mentioning Loo. 'er as faded on
pictures and thatl
WELL wasn't much took with the lady at fust
thought her rsyther fat;
Da''5sr see. toddBn' round with gal always leads
70 lne o'd sort o. lunes.
And BY the time she was ready for home began
10 feel precious like spoons.
Thinks I"she has bees 10 Ter bonnet OF that there
IL not the least doubt
But when she Is once fairly spliced, all that non
- sense can soon be knocked out.
She is po0ty, her CATERS gos tin-mn es dead nuts

felt certain she'd jump at me. Chsrlie-pops only
come o.ce in a while
But she opens her op tics and skews her ink ips In
rum sort OF smile.
why, AIRY" she SEE, 81 shant suit YOU a bar
maid 10 more in your way;
haven't taste you can share, and caut understaad
half what you say
thought she was Isrking.u course. and 40 timing

Tried ktss-but it didn't come of; s'help me,
seemed
Je1t IS IL was something unpleasant-me, Charlie,
the pet o. the fai,,
With my Handkerchief smotht red In musk, and fresh
lemon pomade on my air
Yus. she give me the mi.ten; aud Why, Jest be-
cos-so learnt from my dad
l was not educated enough, but too much Of the
loud cockney cad
Hadn't neither good sense nor good feeling, was
spoilt by cheap scorn and low slang,
And but there. that's enough Of er rot ave
done with er--let FER go 'angl
Redhulus. my boy, amt 1t, And no doubt you'll
be tempted to larf;
But tell you, dear boy. these ere women is ges>
ting too uppish by arr.
Educations the euss o these times; real smartness
gifts showed 10 the wall;
And II gals s to go In for learning, shsn't
be In it 81 all.
Education Yahbah What the doose do We want
with yer science and art,
The ght thing to DO with kid is to bring him up
II chap knows his way about town, and can bal
ance his bett'og-book well,
Mathematics and jography's rot he may leave TO
the sap and the swell.
As for gals. too much know ledge Jest spiles EN-
You teach mere moke Park-'sck PAGES,
And then put the brute in barrier; it's bound to
kick over the traces.
Aud so If we men let the women go stufin their
brsia-pans you'll see
They'll round on Us, Charlie, they'll round on us
just as that Loo did on me.
see Il comm my pippie, yer Girtons aud Art
Schools and such,
Teach the women to take ne ems measures and that's
just triie too much.
Education has spoiled all our servants and now II
our sisters and wives
Gets too fine for the fresde and fsggln' we shan
have no peace Of our lives
don't want wife as paint or pick 'oles in my
grammar no fear
But one as can bile pertater and keep In her own
proper spheer.
A gal as 'ull larf at my Jokes and look up to me
Yes. III marry,
1t shan't be a Loo by a long way-confeuna her
Yours shiiily, AIRY
