Well, listen to me and I'll tell you soon:

soft tenor voice q cro-king frog
Or legs on q frivolous pollywoe;
A kiddie In school who hasn't an eye
On the noise he'll make on the Fourth Of July;
A summer show that isn't all twirls,
And glitter, and gilt, and gibber and girls;

The chap with voice like q sQueaky hue
Who knows he can't sing. and refuses to;
The lady SO fair on the hotel porch.
With hair Ike nugget, or flaming torch,
Who hasn't gossipy word to say
OF any one else an idle day:
The maid who recites and who lives to tell
That very old tale Of the Curfew Bell
Who'd rather sit out by the moonlit sea
Than spout in the drawing room after tea;
The girl OF your heart, SO rarely priced,
Who when you propose to her isn't surprised
Although you have courted your Hearts trus

And others by dozens; but these will do

To put on your list OF the things a. rare

Some thousands Of these will leave the
city with their parents for summer re-
sorts. A few OF the boys will 60 to work
and many OF the girls will help with the
household duties. But the great major

with no tasks and thrown upon their
own resources for entertainment. Natu-
rally they run into the streets or upon the
vacant lots or, If specially favored by To-
cation, into the parks or Fairgrounds.
Children who live near one OF the large
reservations or public recreation spaces
are fortunate. There they can romp and
play to their hearts content. In this re-
well equipped playground are probably
better on than those who are dressed up
and taken to the parks.
