There was a Lilias Ruthven in

woven was named after the lily
and, curiously enough. was called

Which is how he would have spoken

That, no matter what might hap

If, at some affair or other. there ap-

Asking George to note the beau

But the pop-eyed little beggar
has a face that drives me wild.
Why. the red and wriggling creature
hasn't got a handsome feature
Mouths too big-his cheeks are
puffy. and his nose is all awry."
Did ne talk like that, we wonder! Il
he didn't why in thunder
DO men always keep insisting that
he never told a lie?
When the various electors from the
more important sectors
Came TO offer him their homage
as all politicians do,
Did he murmur. Pray excuse me;
