And don't put on an air as TX
You're MORALLY offended;

Take this advice. and get him back,
My darling, II you CAM
But II you can't Why, right-apour
And take another man.
What / did?
I went TO the fair with Charlie
With handsome Charlie Green,
Who has loved me many year,
And vowed his loving with tear
A tear of the neart. mean.
But never gave a smile 10 MIN
Until tonight,
When full In sight
OF Kitty Carol and Archie Dean.
Now, Archie knows that Charlie mas

And his wealth Ia little TO him
without my heart and hand.
So | smiled on Charlie.
Ard / danced with Charlie,
iShen knew that Archie's eyes
,Yere fixeG on me as In a trance.
/ once caught them In the dance
And | could have fallen at his feet.
Dear Archie Deanl
But there were Kitty and Charlie Green
And when Archie came to me,
As was sure he would,
And with softest tone and glance,
Do you think ] dropped my eyes.
With a glad surprise?
No. no. indeed
That would not do.
Straight looked into his face,
With no broken-hearted grace.
Oh, he could not see my pain
And ! told him he must wait
A little while
TIL had danced with Charlie Green;
Then / cast a smile
On Harry Hill and Walter Brown.
Oh. the look he cast on me
As his eyes fell sadly down.
He said he something had TO say,
But 1 laughed and turned away.
For my sight was growing dim,
Saving, I would not forget
That / was TO dance with him,
He did not go TO Kitty Carol,
Who was sitting alone,
Watching as with flashing eyes.
But he slowly turned away
To a corner in the dark.
There he waited patiently.
And. he said, most YEARLY,
For the dancing 10 be done,
And although my heart was aching
And very nigh to breaking,
1t was quite bit of fun
Just to see him standing there
Watching me. Oh. Archie Dean,
What picture of despair;
Why not HE 10 Kitty Carol?
She has money. so they say,
And has held 1t for lovers
Many and many a weary day.
She is rather plain. I know
Crooked nose and reddish hair.
And her years are more than yours.

(fIe Is not rich. like Charlie Green).
What does love for beauty care?
HE away to Kitty Carol:
Ask her out TO dance with you,
Or she'll think that you are tickle
And your vows of love untrue.
And maybe you'll get the mitten,
Then. ah then, what will you do?
Well, no sighed at me and I laughed at
him
AS we danced away together.
He pressed my hand. but l needed not,
And I whirled OF like feather
He whispered something about the past,
But did not heed at all,
For my heart was throbbing loud and
fast,
And the tears began to fall.
He led me out beneath the stars.
I told him II was vain
For him to vow. I had no faith
To pledge with him again.
His voice was sad and thrilling and deep,
And my pride flew away,
And left me TO weep,
And when he said he loved me most true
And ever should love me,
"Yes, love only you" he said.
/ could not help trusting Archie,
Say. could you?
