the subject? Surely. they are ms much concerned
the girls, for sometime they will be making
homes for themselves. taking their blue eyed
daFIinss for their very own.
Now. boys, will the blue-eyed darling content
you for all time? Will the table be bright enough
with jus, two? Ia the long, Winter evenings will
you be con ehted with just her?
Think IL over, boys. and let us know your
