How quickly the season has flown;
I've scarce had a day through the summer,
To rest and to be quite alone.
I've been yachting and driving and bathing,
know every horse on the track;
And I've planned out a beautiful future.
I'm engaged to be married to Jack.

But, then, if we wait until Christmas,
Twill be half a twelvemonth, and so
After telling Jack YES" on an impulse,
Icouldn't somehow take it back;
And he says we can court all our lifetime,
So I'm to be married TO Jack.
He hasn't a very large fortune,
But he's handsome and brimiul of life,
And he says that his prospects VIII brighten
With me for his own little wife.
How little dreamed when ! came here,
How settled and staid I'd go back;
No caring for flirting or dancing.
For I'm to be married to Jack.

But the charm which they hold is but trifing,
When l think of his bright, tender smile.

OF happiness there is no lack;
My heart is as light as a feather.
Pm engaged to be married to Jack.
