THE WILSON GIRLS.

TIE WILSON GIRLS
Now let us hastily proceed
TO md out how they dress their hair,
whose poems they prefer to read.
And where they buy the hats they
wear,
What do they think
or Maeterlinck.
And when was each born and where.
Is Tbsen one whom they ADMIRE
Does any Of the lovely three
Think Kipline has the sacred fire2
What may their chief diversions be?
on. who. we pray.
Can tell II they
Take milk and sugar ntheir tea?
How tan is each and what's her weight?
Please name the color Of their eyes;
DO they consider Wagner great.
Are they demdre or otherwise?
Please forward news
About their shoes.
And be specific as to size.
Repeat at once all they may say,
And pass the word from zone to zone
Let there be not the least delay
In having all their actions known;
They must prepare
To cease to care
To sometimes just be left alone
