Tap. tap. tap!
Won't you please let three country crack
ers in for wee bit? No thanks, we DO not
care for chair We only wish to read you
a little piece of poetry if Auntie will give
her consent
Watch Yourself Go BY
Just stand aside and watch yourself 20 by;
Think Of yourself as he instead of l.
Note closely as in other men you'd note
The bag-kneed trousers, the seedy coat.
Pick flaws. find fault, forget the man IS
you
And strive to make your estimate ring true;
Confront yourself and look You in the eye,
Just stand aside and watch yourself go by.
Interpret all your motions just as though
You looked on one whose aims you did not
Let undisguised contempt surge through You
When you see you shirk, o, countenance 9t
men,
Despise your cowardce. defend not one de-
feet that shames your eye
Just stand aside and see yourself 90 by.
And then with eyes unveiled to what you
loath
To sins that with sweet charity you'd cloth!ei
Back TO yourself-walled tenement you'll
With tolerance for all who dwell below.
The false of others then will dwarf and
shrink,
Loves chain grows stronger by one mighty
When you with he as substitute for I,
Have stood aside and watched yourself 60
by.
Now the usual subicct-powder and paint,
Just little powder and paint
Makes a girl think she is what she amt.
Jane and Doris are old cousins and have
a visitor with MS this time We just want
to thank the cousins for the many nice let
ters we received, and just pardon us FOR
not answering them all We are all in the
teens not over is. II you wish to know
any more about MS, just write Bye. bye 70
you, cousins. Just keep smiling, for while
yon smile another smiles and soon there
miles and miles Of smiles ami life's worth
while because you smile.
