All the girls used to say That Laura would never marry, But, after a few years of maiden life, She decided no longer to tarry. Away she went to the far-away North, Alone with a soldier man; And now they are facing life’s problems Together, as best they can. Elizabeth, as we might expect, H as made much use of her knowledge, And in a distant Western city H as founded a modern boys’ college. Elma has her heart’s desire— A multi-millionaire; She has motor cars and yachts galore. And a biplane for the air. And as for Frederica— Probably all of you know She is a great Latin scholar. And thinks of naught else below. And Kitty is now a skillful nurse, And cheerfully hands out pills; If e’er you feel bad, just go to her; She has remedies for all ills. Margaret, alias “the Boss,’’ For several years has concertized; Her Leschetizky-Ninnis style Has all her hearers hypnotized. As for myself—sad to relate— I am still alone, in a single state. —B. McL. THE BELLS CANNOT RING IT; BUT LONG YEARS, OH BRING IT. SUCH AS I WISH IT TO BE’’

So now she is on the ticket For Governor of her State, And that she’ll be elected Is just as sure as fate. Margaret had always declared That, after her education, She would settle down with just one man, Who owned a large plantation. But, fortunately, it could not be Just as she had it planned; So now she has gone as a missionary 1 o a far-off heathen land. Now who would think that Sarah, 1 he smallest little lass. Would become a famous lawyer And glorify her (lass? But now she shines in the courtroom, Just as she did in ( lass, When she never would be downed. But argued her point to the last.
