Thoughts Of the Girls
Written for Evening Journal
BY James 4. CrOzier.

Webster defines Old Maid as a woman
Who has never yet found any man.
Who will throw out the hooks, to all
kind Of crooks,
And try to catch one IL she can.
Some Of them seem to be satisfied
With a polly or canary or two;
If a gray hair should come, they are
nearly struck dumb
And it worries them awful-That's
True.
In a home once had was a sign on
the door
That each one could read as they
pass;
1t was rather seyere-Mr C. resides
here
And the girls will please Keep of
The Grass.
II / could go back from an old man
to young,
To age say. about twenty-four,
know two or three would be after
me,
That fact has been told me before.
If / had good health-and plenty OF
wealth,
The thing might be different you
see;
like all The Girls, either straight
hairs or curls;
As il Is | am now up a tree
/ am rather too young to hear a sweet
tongue
Bid me welcome-when come
home late;
1 had one you know-but a long time
ago
Who was precious to me as a mate
It's the nature of woman and also o.
man
To want companion down here,
And there is quite a few would max,
good mates and true,
That seems to me always so queer
But while you have life get a husband
or wife.
And some day they may to you comr
Just hunt up a mate-either early o.
late.
And be happy in some little home

Approaching Christmas Be
Strangest Many Previous Ones

New York, Dec 1.-THE Christmas
festival one week from Tuesday will
be to many American women the
strangest OF their lives, for not only
will the sons and brothers be absent
from the home circle. but hundreds OF
husbands and fathers who spent last
Christmas round their own freside
will be away on their nations business
this Yule.
But the American women will not be
downhearted this Christmastide. They
have no reason to be-and they know
II.
THE prospects are better and
brighter than ever" they will say,
"and before next Christmas, please
God, there will be the great home
coming, and the bells shall ring OF
peace on EARTH
At no season Of the year does a
woman's heart so yearn to have around
her hearth those dear to her. And
this Yule the husbands and sons, the
brothers and lovers will be absent
from many Of the family gatherings.
But the women are determined that
the spirit of Christmas shall be abroad
in spite of the war and all that it
stands for. They know so well that
the picture that cheers the hearts Of
the boys afar is painted with no
shades Of melancholy, but that it is
bright with Christmas tints. IF our
boys can keep smiling through 1t all, !"
they say, what excuse have we for
sighing?"
The women know that they have the
casting vote as to whether this Christ
mas shall be a time Of signs or OF
smiles.
That is why the bountiful Christ
mas dinner will grace the American
board as bravely as ever next Tues
day. That Is why the toy-shops are
now deIighting the hearts Of the kid

MEXICAN ENVOY TO

(By Associated Press)

Washington, Dec. 18.-Louis Ca
brera, special envoy of the Mexican
government, sent here to seek modi-
fication of restrictions upon Ameri-
can exports to Mexico, has departed
for Buenos Aires without troubling
himself with the formality of good
byes to the state department. He
goes to attend the so-called neutral
ity conference in the Argentine
capital. He is generally accounted
as a determined enemy to the Unit
ed States and his trip attracts a Pc
culiar interest just now when Ger
man propagandists are doing their
utmost to hold Argentina in line as
neutral, and spread antagonism
against the United States in Latin
America.
