GEMS FOR YOUR SCRAP BOOK
A TALE OF LOVE.

LOVE-that beautiful, mushy af
fair that floats on the moonlight
breezes. l tell you, it's great
thing-that love business and
presume great many of you sit
up all night long and use fathers
wood and coal and pour big chunks
u taffy into her shell-like ear, and
then you lie-goodness, gracious,
how you lie! Then you sit and
hold hands. Did any of YOU young
fellows ever hold hands? Then you
nudge up, nudge up so close you
counldn't get tootthpick in between
you. But after you are married!
Oh! there's a vast difference! After
you are married you could drive a
horse and wagon between you.
Amt it funny that when you're
in love you get mushy? Kinder
like molasses on the 4th of July.
Then she looks up and calls you
papa" and you call her gum
drops" Then go outside and throw
coal at yourself for being so daffy.
oh, I've multiplied love in all
manners Now to multiply: One
smile makes two flirtations, two
flirtations make one moonlight
meeting; one moonlight meeting
makes one kiss. Five kisses make
an engagement. One engagement
makes a marriage, marriage
makes a mother-in-law and a moth
er-in-law makes it d-m hot for
the son-in-law.
