Isn't IT fun to have nom de plumes,
though?
Here is just a bit Of poetry that
made itself up while 1 vas writing.
Evening
Sometimes, when the sun is sort o.
sinkin' hind the hill,
N everything is just so quiet an so
still,
When you en- near the whip-poor-wiIl
a-calling,
An a-calling.
Then at the close of each bright day
I like to leave the worl' an steal away
To dream of knights, Queens and elfn
: fay,
AT close of day
At close of day.
THAT last phrase seems to have
lengthy epistle.
with best wishes for the success
of our column, from,
FORGET-ME-NOT.
"P. S.-Dear Girls:
