Editor Fadden was here getting
out the Chronotype last week, and.
after he had left the typewriter, we
found the following:
Then give me the girl with the
pearly teeth.
With theTgint of the sun in her
hair.
With the roses bloom in her fair
round checks,
And the cherry lips, so rare.
Take her, Homer: she's your'n.
Do not forget, however, that the
pearly teeth may decay; that the
rose fades soon after being plucked.
and the cherry lips lose color when
she eats cucumbers or like indigest-
ibles. or there was ball the night
before. The CLINT in her hair may
change to her eye. When it does,
be sure, my son, that your manly
form is just outside before the fiat
iron strikes the decreasing. The
amiable, everyday girl is worth
considering. She who can keep the
house tidy, can cook and darn socks
and spank babies into shape. She is
like wine. and grows better with
advancing years, until you begin to
wonder how the great Creator ever
produced anything so nearly perfect.
