And speak OF ways that he should mend.
And often trust and distrust blend
In How much money does he spendt"
When to the problems OF this life
He seems to have become awake.
And thinks Of getting home and wife
What form then does our question tale'
Our thoughts thus into speech will break:
We'll how much money does he maker"
In middle life he has become

And OF his countenance so grun

But into his affairs We wade
With How much money has he nAdet"
Next as pillar OF the state
At forty eight or nifty. say
We point to him the honors great
That walt for him along the way,
The war cry OF the bitter fray
Is How much money will he pay"
And later on when days go by
Like water dropping through q sieve,
And falling hair and falling eye
Proclaim he has not long TO live.
Oh then we're most inqulsitive

We speak OF him and gently greve,
And In mpassloncd eulogy

SILK Shirt Waist Snifs

SILK shirt waist suits continue to be
the most charming demitoilet affairs
worn. To begin with, the silks are of
the best quality of French taffetas or
iouisines. The skirts are ample and
self trimmed in various fashionable
ways in a series of wide or graduated
tucks' IN rows of narrow shaped
hounces or in shirred tiounces. The
smart effect aimed at is to subordinate
the skirt SO as to show off the elabora-
tion OF the waist. This is the dominat
ing rule of all gown trimming at pres.
ent except for dinner and other cere.
monious toilets.
