Yes, all Is over at last my dear,
And the last of the callers has come and gone,
The finai callers were rather queer,
And stupid enough TO make one yawn.
Just ran over minute to see,
IL the day turned out as you though II would,
And what IL was said by Charley Lee
That moment that on the steps he stood.

because you flushed to your temples dear.
Although you made believe twas n cough;
But YOU couldn't play that racket here

Before i noticed him coming here.

"nen ne ilrst began you, see, my dear
But before he got quite through the street,
thought from his webbing gait, the Ounce!
That he might have found II rather neat
TO call both sides of the street at once.
Yes, Charley's very nice fellow true;
hut he's just n little fresh in his ways,
Ana was pulled from the homo in which he
grew
Before he was through his nursery days.
Z cs, much too innocent--much my dear,
His head doesn't take command of his heart.
And so he will gush sometimes, and is queer,
with glass OF two-indeed rather tart.
But, there. didn't intend to stay
so long. just ran over TO see
What IL was that Charley did really say
AS he stood there moment, shaky in knee.
There; don't flare up SO. dear! You know
We are such good friends, and didn't mean
To hurt your feelings, my dear. Oh no!
For my wit Is slppered, you know and lean.
Proposed toyou In that horrid plight
On New Years Day! What a lark! Ha, ha!
1t is just too awfuly, utterly quite.
And OF course you'll refer him TO your papa.
DON'T mind saying, sub rosa, dear,
That the same fellow proposed to me
In the morning, but that wasn't half so queer
For he was sober then you see.
But must be off, my DEAR TIA, tn.
I'll see you at church IL ii doesn't funk.
What a Jolly lark 1t is! Ha, ha!
What fool man can be when drunk
