HOW He LOST HER.

He hardly dared to touch her hand;
He deemed she was so far above him
That he would never have the saEd
To even think that she could love him.
And SO he let concealment prey
Upon the cheek he lacked so badly
And 6umbly watched her day by gay
And moped about and acted sadly
1t may be she his secret guessed;
IL so. she never seemed to show It;
Bat. then, II love Is not expressed
A girl can't be supposed to know II.
She let the foolish fellow call:
= He had n crude idea OF spoontng:
He seemed afraid to talk at all
And sat and took II out In incoming.
Another sutton came At last.
VINO was not shy about his wooing;
Che knew ere many minutes passed
That there was something certain doing.
And one week from the day they met
His ring was on her second finger: !.
Alse the happy day was set;
That lover surely did not linger.
And No. / he dropped and pined.
recovered, some time later mated,
And ever after vas inclined
To thank his lucky stars he'd waited
The moral Is, when ali Is done
Our love we should not hide or smother
But, anyway. it's six Of one
And half desen Of the other.
