Book
Book. gentle book.
Shy harbinger of spring,
You bear no shock
Like that sweet fashiOning
Known as high ball.
Or like the gin-fizz gay
No sting a all
Like absinthe frappe.
You come to us
With soothing springtime rains,
No trenchant cuss
Awaits thy hidden pains;
Thou mellOwest
The edge of winters cold,
Beneath our west
We thy fair form enfold,
Deeming the day
More bright than thou hast been,
The while we say,
Just set EN- up again.
Book, gentle beck,
Friend of the errant hummer.
To thee we flock
Wilt smile on US all summer?

tiremen. The scene is so releastic that

on between Greece and Turkey.
A prominent citizen remarked last

The following reflections of bache-
lor, sfrom his dairy were picked up on |
the streets and they show that while a
bachelor pretends to despise a woman,
she is the only thing on which he can |

Lots of men have nice necks and
shoulders, only it doesn't count them
