THE GIRLS HAVE
CALLED THE TURN

A deputation of charming young la.
dies brought the following verses Il
the Star office this morning:
There is a boy in our town
Who thinks he looks so fine,
But his hair stands up
Just like a porcupines.
There is a boy in our town
Who's as bashful as can be;
If a girl should start his way
I'm sure he'd climb a tree.
There is boy in our town:
Is he nice? oh, no!
But then you see, my dear,
He has fine auto.
There is a boy in our town
Who is a perfect chump.
When he talks TO you
You'd think he was a pump.
There are some boys in our town
Who are mighty fine to see;
If you want to see them at their best
Just get them on a spree.
There are some boys in our town
Who are never hard to find;
Just go to the any night,
They are there till half-pasa nine.
There are many boys in our town
Who are wondrous lazy;
If you'd see them do a bit of work
You'd think they'd gone crazy
There are bows in our town
Who are very very cheap.
They are fond of holding chairs down
While the girls in dreamland sleep.
There are lots Of boys in our town
Who think ii very funny
To loaf around all day
And spend their fathers money.
