WHAT'S THE UsEe
MACH succeeding year, while new,
Brings good resolutions true.
HllLong the list you write and vow
You will cut down bills. and now,
Nights you'll come home early.
Only three cigars a day;
Once a week to see the play;
No more dinners at the club;
No late suppers-theres the rubl
Come on, now, go TO III
But you fnd. as months fly past,
Good Intentions do not last.
You viii go this once, you say
Soon you're going every day,
Jean Crosby Bridgham.
