YOUTH MUST BE SERVED
By s. D. Kiser.N

 Harry and Myrtle and Reggie and Grace Are at home from their schools for the holiday season; Mother begins to have lines on her face, Fathers in danger of losing his reason, For q week they've been doing 1t early and late Skating and dancing and dinners and suppers; Mother looks weary, but thinks it is
 great. Dads leaky shoes are worn down
 to the uppers. It's hurry and worry from morning till night, Trousers to iron and waists that need pressing; A holiday season, of course, is all
 right, But some things about it are rather
 distressing. Rush to the door, for the postman
 is there
 More invitations; the trouble in
 creases; How can they manage It? What shall
 they wear? Everything seems to be going 70
 pieces. It was fine. of the Gurtons to keep
 us in mind, Their parties are always expensive
 and splendid; Mother must find an excuse of soma
 kind
 That will keep Mrs Bicket from
 being offended So she stains her dear soul with
 little whits lie, And after she's told it is filled with
 contrition; She knows that truth will come out
 by and by, And then she will be in pretty
 position! Taxis and flowers and gloves and the
 rest
 Of the things that cost more than
 we ought to be paying; Still, we must stand it and hope for
 the best;
 Youth must be served-you re-
 member the saying. The pace is terrific, but nothing shall
 check
 Our efforts to brighten their prec- ious vacation, Though fathers becoming a physical
 wreck.
 And mother is headed for nervous
 prostration.
