The working girls and the society leaders OF New
York to meet together.
The object is to help the working girl.
1t is not contemplated that the working girl should
contribute to the Improvement Of the society woman.
The plan is that of Mrs Clarence Burns vice president

way. Will you take rum in your tea?
Mrs Burns does not deserve ridcue She is in earn

and that of the working do not touch They have
nothing in common, and never can have The political
economists would say that all the advantage the

According to their Church and Greed;
For Jim was rough, and loved to fight
And drink, and do the things

But all US little fellows knew
That Jim was always good to kids
Why Jim loved every child on earth
And often, with us little chaps
He'd go a-ishing in the creek
Or show us how to set our traps
And lots Of things. And though his hands
Might tremble, and his swollen lids
Were red, he never did us HARM
For Jim was always good to kids
Jim's dead. Nobody made fuss;
Never the slightest tear was shed
For such q vagabond. because

That Jim YVES always good to kids.
