Modestly her skirts uplifting,
Yet without the slightest blush,
Ethel wends her way, regardless
WI, Which may be the easiest as, ss,., routes
She has on her rubber boots.
See her coming to a crossing
Where the other girls all stop,
Posing, startled, on the curbstone,
Making up their minds to hop,
On she strides, her skirts uprising
With bold hands as high as suits
Her convenience; she's not bothered
She has on her rubber boots.
And those horrod men behind her
Sadly disappointed seem.
Ethel is so sweet and dainty,
Graceful as an artists dream,
But when she starts Ger the crossing
Only one glance each man shoots
Toward her; then his eyes rove elsewhere
She has on her rubber boots.

proves the irresistible charms of the
widow, as well as the fact that mar
riage is not a failure.

A young married woman, living in
the East End, had peculiar dream
the other evening, says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer. She dreamed that she
was down town on Euclid avenue with
the baby and was preparing to board a
car and go home The step of the new
Euclid avenue motor was rather high
and she requested a gentleman to hold
her baby while she boarded the car. He
consented, but before he could retugn
