Lucile, who now for politics has such decided bent, Will be a suffrage leader, then U. S. President; Wlnle Charlie is explaining a fancy step of dance, Oi wdl he take to motoring, or queening perchance? But what becomes of Philip? Well, time alone will tell, e hope to see him happy with some nice young village belle. The fifth one? She’s the puzzle for you yourself to solve, Forget not that some little things great consequence involve. Z. M. IJ. ’14.
