HAVING COMPANY.

The letter read: my dearest Sue,
Next Thursday will spend with you.
l won't enjoy my visit, though,
II any trouble I bestow."
80, I'm so glad" cried Mrs. White,
FOR company is such delight"
But looking round her in dismay,
II must get ready right away
Armed with a dustpan and a broom,
She went to work in every room,
She oiled and polished, cleaned and
rubbed,
And mended, secured, washed and
scrubbed.
Then in the kitchen she began,
While perspiration down her ran,
AT pies and buildings, cakes and bread,
AS if an army must be fed.
She toiled and fretted, cooked and
baked.
She hurried, worried, stewed and
ached
When Thursday came, she, nearly
dead,
Just managed to crawl out of bed.
And Mrs. Company came, too.
They kissed and Rugged like women
do,
And then began tired Mrs White
To make excuses, never right:
80, dear, my house then waxen clean,
Is most too dirty to be seen.
So shut your eyes! You're looking
stout,
Take off your things. I'm just worn
out.
"You must excuse my cooking, too,
1t isn't fit to offer you.
CTwas fit for kings. Too bad you
come
Just when I'm upside down at home!"
And thus she welcomed and distressed
and spoiled the visit of her guest,
Who wished she hadn't come to be
A tired woman's company
