poem. Here II is:
From whence you came we do not
know. you are a mystery;
We only hear you once week; your
face we never see
We do not even know your sex, your
kind We must surmlse.
You are, Eve judge from what you
writel a genius in disguise
You know exactly what Is what, and
just what is In vogue.
You either are a witty Miss. or just
n clever rogue.
But man or dame, Whichever you are,

It's hard TO think a witty maid, could

But then, you Judge the men as well
and yet, you can't be neuter.
The dope Is whit we seek.
We like the pleasure that you give 20
all OF MS each week
And after reading murder yarns, ami
such sobriety,
We turn the page with pleasant
thrills, 10 your Society.
