 On some quite unworthy chaps; But I absolutely see nix In a long sojourn in Phoenix.

For the latter, I have never been able to find one having the remotest orthoepical consansuin- ity. I hope Remlik can help me.
 Just to show the reader that my verse writing is not wholly given to frivolity, I subjoin these lines where of little three year old niece of mine is the motif, as the Society Edi- tor would say:
 To a Little Maid Tell me, little Curly Head What has made your cheeks so red? Have you eaten-iust few Roses sOpped In silver dew?' Much the blueness of your eye Looks as if, from wonder sky You have stolen quite bit; Tell me how you managed it. What deft hand do you suppose Sculrtured, so, your pretty nose, And the tempting lips below Curving like a Cupid's bow? Did some sly. good fairy creep To your bedside in your sleep, Just to dent that dimple in The white roundness of your chin? Little Lady. This your task Answer everything I ask. And if once you go amiss, Pay the forfeit of a kiss
