Come out in the garden, Maud,
Come out and get the air.
Perchsnce the sun is shining,
Perchance the sky is fair,
Or else the rain is pouring,
Or snowfakes dropping there.
Come out iu the garden, Maud,
And look for tender shoots.
Perchance the birds are trilling
Like animated flutes
But you'd better bring your skates,
Also your rubber boots,
Come out in the garden, Maud.
And wear your thinnest tulle;
But bring along your earlaps
And keep your nittens full.
You'll want your fan and suushade
And thickest coat of wool.
Come out in the garden, Maud,
And try your Christmas skis.
You creepers, lest it freeze;
Also bring the garden hoe,
To plant the early peas.
Come out in the garden, Maud,
And feel the cold blasts blow.
And breathe the balmy breezes,
And watch the tulips grow, =
And see the hall and sunshine
And rain and mud and snow!

When I became Mayor. the defun-

personally knew that was not so But
! had an official examination made of

an official report that there were no OBJ

THE truth is that the good, moral

shows, and very often bring their chill
dren with them. would not tolerate the
exhibition OF obscene or immoral pic
lures there. place In which ouch pic
lures were exhibited would soon be with
