WOMAN and
SOCIETY.

The birds are singing In the trees
Why shouldn't they? They take their
ease,
They loaf about the woods all day.
And haven't any rent to pay.
The flowers bloom and gayly bow
Why shouldn't they? Who'd make a
row
If down below they had root
Preparing food and drink to suit?
The trees are rustling all their leaves
Why shouldn't they? Who is there
grieves
When neatly dressed from top to toe
And not a cent to pay or owe?
The fishes dart about the sea
Why shouldn't they? 1t seems to me
That men enjoy mere rambling. too,
Provided there's no work to do.
The little lads do skip and play
WHY shouldn't they? What's in their
way?
They have no bric-a-brac to smash.
E. Or doctors bills to pay In cash.
All Nature finds the world atune-
Why shouldn't she? The month is
June,
The grass is green. the sky is blue.
How very trite that is. though true:
Tudor jerks. in Harpers Magazine
for June.
