To The June Bride

est Number-Aftsr hiptings White Mans Burde
BY HELEN ROWLAND
Take up the White womsn's burden
Give up the world for Him!
Go bind yourself at the altar,
To serve your captives whim;
To wait, like sweet Griselda
On FESTIVE mate and wild
Your new-caught. untamed husband,
Half dictator half child
Take up the White Woman's burden
Have done with girlish days
The trophies orchids triumphs,
Your gay. untrammeled ways;
Give up your dreams of glory,
Come down 10 toasting bread
And receive. at last your payment
kiss-and pat on the head.
Take up the White Woman's burden
Cater and cook and sew.
Sweep up his stubs and ashes
Scattered around like snow.
Take up the White Woman's burden
And pay the price of peace.
Fill full the mouth OF the pampered.
And bid his headaches cease
And when you have done your utmost
To make him happy-then,
Watch out for the debs and glamour gals
Or do 1t all over again!
Take up the White Woman's burden
No iron rule of kings.
But Just the grind eternal
OF picking up his things;
or counting his shirts and collars,
OF tempting his appetite
OF waiting-wating-WA
Til he comes home at night
Take up the White Womans burden,
And reap the old reward
a peck on the cheek at Breakfast
Your clothes and roof and board;
A smile if the markets rising
A frown. if it's had fall
But haven't you got q HUSBAND
And isn't that WORTH il all?
