IT'S UP TO YOU


BY Berton Bradley.
Girls amt the same as the girls l knew
The dowager says, and signs.
Those od-time maidens would never do
thing that would cause surprise"
But she failed to recall, in a large degree,
Some things which she saw occur
Girls amt the same as they used to be, ..
And they never were!
"Men amt the same as the men of DID,"
The old man said with a scow.
But he didn't know that the cave man bold,
Had put up similar howl.
And they both were right in their sad decree,
To which we can still demur,
With, "Men amt at all what they used to be,
And they never were"
The past is ever golden time,
When it's many year away,
And the folks who're pretty we'll past their prime
Are always aghast at Today
And they're right, of course, as you plainly see
In the judgments that they aver,
But, "Times amt at all what they used to be-"
And they never were!
