Parting Guests

like to have my friends come
in when evenings growing
gray, and talk of autos made
of tin, of hens and hogs and hay.
Their coming does not make me
sore; 'tis this that makes me
grieve: When they would go,
their visit DER, they take SO long
to leave! They quit the dazzling
sitting room at half past ten
o'clock; then in the halls re
ligious gloom they talk and talk
and talk. At last they leave my
humble door, but on the porch
they pause, and for another hour
or more they ply their useful
jaws. The night is waxing old
and late when down, the walk
they go, and then they loiter at
the gate to talk an hour or SO.
How grand is that infrequent
guest who says, at nine O'Clock,
"Time flies apace, you want to
rest, so | will take a walk" He
takes his walking stick and hat,
and when he comes some more
he finds a welcome on the mat
that lies before the door. My
friends are welcomed to my
gate, and harmless suds shall
flow but when it's time to pull
their freight 1 wish they'd up
and go! WALT MASON.
