STOLEN SWEETS.

We We're together on the stair,
Just she and l; the hour was late,
The light shone on her golden hair;
1 Iruly tried to be sedate.
But then-her head was close to mine.
Such chance one surely could not miss,
Before my act she did divine,
Slyly L stole just one sweet KISS.
''You are a robert" was her cry,
In tones of mingled ire and grief.
So quick / made her this reply:
Receiver is as bad as thief"
Did I not give you what took?
Fairest accomplish, now confess.
And say YOU liked 5t"-one sly look
She flashed, then softly murmured
Yes &C. 5. Pearson.

coil pO4,Ia yK-1on
ed to really know what is prOepr, that
spring weddings are out of date, but
whether il is because Lent is such con-
Ncnient time to prepare ones trOusseau
and get rested up after the fatigue sure TO
follow from the rapid pace of Dame So
c.ety during the season. or whether
