y SOCIETY MANS BREAK.
Well. boys. nj the german last evening,
made a most terrible break;
My hes; girl has gone back upon me
Because Of little mistake
You know Mt the last social function
/ had an unpopular girl.
And Just how to pass off the evening
Set me and my brain in whirl
asked all the boys to dance with her.
And filed out her card when upstairs.
SO, of course, the poor girl was delighted
And never put on any airs.
But last night. Just as told you.
! settled my hash. don't you see
l took ont the belle of the season.
who has always been partial to me.
at the dressing-room doorwoy I told her
Her card would certainly fiji.
But she told me II was no representation"
with glance that was likely to kill.
You can bet felt cheap all the evening.
And tried to make all the amends
But that girl, with q great show of
hauteur.
friends ~
Well, boys, ] was really in earnest.
But now don't stand any chance:
Next time I'll be more DIPLOMATS
when take a girl out 10 a dance.
