221 LUCIA SHERMAN. The general Whose name our Lucia still bears Marched seaward through buckets of gore. Her name is in history, so are her words, For she made that remark about war. HELEN DEAMER.

' Gladys is fine at collecting our dues- She's taken two dollars from me. She used to be Joseph of Biblical fame- , Was Pharaoh's tax agent, you see. FRANCEQ REVETT. In Italy once Fran Revett held high fame As painter of angels and saints, But Raphael's soul is now cruelly torn By the spasms of posters she paints. U31
