The SEWN circle met last week at

The metin' Was the best they've had

Each member had one fer To spring
when she acquired the floor.
We neve knowed such w~ickedness

Until they broke the meetin' up and
spread the news aroun.'
The meeting lasted most all night for
no one dared To stir
AND &c tome first for fear they'd
start some yarn concerning her.
They stirred up more cxcitin' news
and YOU kin safely bet
They amt got through a-tellin' all
the sptciest as yet.
They say a: how Hold Peters fell
downstairs the other night.
And smashed "a flask of Old Moon

WHEN WIFES AWAY.
When wife decides to go away
Her husband yells a glad .Hooray."
almost too good to believe.
He's going to stay out every eve
And see the gay and festive sights
That go with the electric lights.
He won't have to go home to dine.
Some class to hat. It's really fne.
No one to ask or question why;
NO one to h"aNe "A plaintive sigh
When he comes home late from the
rouge.
He will not nave to duck and dodge
The conversation she hands out.
He feels as though he'd like to shout.
And acts just like a lamb at play.
When his wife decides to go away.
The day arrives. the whistle toots.
And down the track the Pullman scoots,
His wife has gone to see her folks
best of all the seasons Jokes;
And husband starts i'm on his jaunts
the old familiar haunts
He knew back in his bachelor days,
all the swell cafes.
He'll tramp the city through and
through.
Ana meet the boys that once he know.
He finds that none of them are left.
Aud like a man who is bereft
He wanders aiinlcssly around
that once familiar ground.
For Things ave change since he was
wed:
At s. he is at home in bed.
From that time on, he STAYS at home;
He has no great desire to roam.
There nothing as it used to be
Around the a old town to see.
The dishes pile up in the sink.
The milk gets too blame sour to drink.
And for the first time in his life,
He finds there's no cooks like his
wife.
He cant locate his summer shirts.
He wears one collar till it hurts.
His galluses he has to hook
With shingle nails; he hates to look
Into the mirror on the shelf
For fear he will not know himself.
Within a week. he is a SLOUGH,
is developing a crouch.
Here is the moral of the song:
When next she goes. he'll go along.
