by those who favor this course is that
1t would greatly ombarrass the Demo-

The summer girl will soon begin
Her fascinations to display,
Where oceans tumbliug waves roll in
And throw aloft their frothy spray.

And hat adorned with ribbons bright,

And be in clover. 80 to speak;
She'll have dozen Of beaux day,
And be engaged six times a week.
