WOMAN and
...SOCIETY...


He thought that he would WOO her
as lyric poet dreamed
Enthuse about her saprhiCe eyes, and
hair like sunshine bright,
And vow he thought of her by day
and dreamed of her at night.
The medieval style, he unused, might
be the best, perchance-
He'd tell his lovely ladye fair that for
favoring glance
Against all other rival knights he'd
fearless break his lance.
Perhaps a simpler way were best:
sweet maid this earthly life
Is but a hard and stony path, with
clouds and shadows rife;
My strong arm would protect you,
dear; oh, sweet one, be my wife,
But this is what he really said in very
husky tones,
While sweatdrops on his forehead
stood, and trembling were his
tones:
Dear Kate-er-Miss Kate-er-l
mean ought to say Miss Jones;
If we got married-er-I mean," his
voice was none too clear,
I'm earning-er-fifteen a week, it's
not enough l fear
The maiden blushed and murmured
low, Let's try it, Willie dear"
