WOMAN and
SOCIETY.

Autumn days are swiftly passing, very
soon the time will be

" hen the wcather's warm, eacf host
ess strives to ind out something
nice
ty sort of ice;

can as fitting be
AS the curse. of mans existence. the
eternal cup of tea!
Then no more the hostess offers clink-
ing glass or ice cold stein.
But a bit of eggshell Sevres, very deli
cate and fine;
And to swallow lukewarm water most
courageously you toll,
While she smiles and ask you sweetly
if the water didn't boil.
Like automaton you answer with the
lie that is SO trite;
''It is most refreshing. thank you, and
it's made exactly right"
oh, I've drunk it barely warm, and 1
have drunk it scalding hot,
And nobody ever bothers IL l like the
stuff or not.
Bitter as was Marsh's water, full of
dregs as lees of wine,
Have / gulped 1t, meekly wondering
why twas served la quinine,
While the charming girl who poured
1t waited till l drank it up
Just to ask the torturing question:
Wont you let me fill your cup?"
