NFaDfc11re LADY. It think that a girl or
a gent can fOrgit their surroun uInEs
when they set down with the Door -I ~
that Gee. George. when I was read
ing about that brave young Paris steaI-
ing a kings wife away and taking her
I1p-state to Troy. IL made me wish that
some fellow would come down from the
A5froDdacI1s and kidnap me away from I
NV fathers roof. OF course II would /
hurt the old gent lot because WIN
nv earning capacity. ! am the only
niIIar I'D home on which they lean on I
The old gent wouldn't care If somebody I
came along and kidnapped brother WI
fred. because the poor bow IS as Iar from /
a job as he has ever been IN All ms
bright young career II was only lstst
night he nicked fathers bank roll Tor !
a case note. the last one he viii get !
for some time as the OLD gent mas
sworn of getting mellow
ct don't see anything very romantic Z
about stealing the kings wife or any /
other mans wife" said the head bar
Wanted To BE stole.
Don't your said the Manicure
Lady. Gee. I think it must have been
simply grand to have lived in them
days and to have been stole by some
guy with a little nerve like that Paris J
fellow And the book told about Romeo
and Juliet
could have a handsome young fellow
like Romeo put a ladder up AGAINST our
front porch and whisper words OF love
to me 7 would accept his proposal or
marriage and beat down the ladder
with him quick before the porch broke
Napoleon and josephine had an
awful sweet love. so the book says
The story tells how much that great
general loved his queen and how much
she loved him until things commenced 1
breaking bad for him and he lost out
and the battle Of Bunker Hill or
whatever was the name Of that fight I
he lost to Duke Wellington and his ]
German soldiers There amt no love J
like that no more. George. When q I
young fellow wants TO get married ]
nowadays he starts saving M until he /
has money enough to buy a house and I
lot and when he proposes and gets /
turned down he takes the money and (
loses it playing roulette. There amt /
even such love as our fathers and I
mothers used to have
Every once and q while when the {
old cent comes home from lodge with /
his feet well apart and kinda halmv
look on his map 7 can hear him re-
mindinE mother Of how they used to :
walk along them lilac-bordered lanes. I
plightin~ their troth over and over
a9ain. Nobody pli~hts no trOths now
adays. George. until the yOun" girl'S
folks has rot report on the Young
gent from DUn'S and BradStreets.
"The more I think about them beau
tifUl old romarces which can never be
no more. tho wore 7 wisht 7 had lived \
the1 instead Of now"
