THE OLD BEAU.


I've been a foolish moth and-well,
I've many times been singed;
But ne'er a flame I've called a bane,
Nor been by burning VeXed-
u let my wings grow out again
j. And buzz around the next!
I've pressed the first love kiss on lips
Since kissed-hOw many times!
With love squeezed many finger-tipS,
And woven names in rhymes.
The sweet young buds of womanhood
I've schOoled in love and then
Obigingly aside have stood
While they wed other meni
I've never really thought to win
The girls I've wooed-'tis said,
And very truly. Fools rush in
Where angels fear to tread"
, And yet I'm with the course of things
Contented more than Wroth,
For, though / often SINCE my wings,
m glad to be a moth,

Ters and luncheons have been given for

of men in their social world. Spring and
summer weddings have made bene-
diets of so many of the society men that
the girls complain there are really not
tremedies have been suggested, but I'M
less few men are recruited from the
franks there promises to be plenty of pref
