WaRted-A Little Girl.

Where have they gone to the little
With natural manners and natural
cUrlsY
Who love their ,lollies and like tl,ei,
toys.
And talk OF mcthing Desitles the bows?
Little old women III plenty find.
Mature inmanners and old of mind:
Little old flirts who talk Of their 'bea,,s'
And vie with each other in stylish
clothes.
Little old bellies, who, at nine AID ten.
Are sick Of pleasure and tired of men.
Weary Of travel, Of balls, of fun
And find no new thing under the sun
once, in the beautiful long ago,
Some dear little children used to know,
Girls who were merry ae lambs at play.
And laughed and rollickcd the livelong
day.
They thought not at all Of the 'style'
OF their clothes,
They never imagined that boys were
'bcnux'--
Other girls brothers and mates we're
they;
Splendid fellows to help them play.
Where have they gone? If you see
One OF them, anywhere, send her to me.
I would give q medal Of p.,rest gold
10 one OF those dear little girls of old,
with an innocent heart and al open
smile,
Who knows not the meaning of 'f1irt'
or 'style.' ELLA Wheeler.
