Enjoyment.

The LATEST thing.
The JOllicst thing,
The happicst thing know
Is to IN NJ lunch fair spring day
Ana load up the crowd and go
To u ltttl" place on the river.
TO Il grove with spring set nook.
And lose myself In the love OF life
And companionship OF q book
To swing myself in the sprinEtime
Fair full in the path of joy
That lies on the road to picnic days,
With never u care To cloy,
And the LATEST thing.
The jolics; thing.
The happlest thing | know
Is To just forget about dollars and cents
And load MP the crowd and go.

ation perhaps better than the tobacco men
themselves. Ii is their business to know,
