THE FRONT PARLOR IN the good old days, when dad was young, And every home was a model of grace, An august room the parlor was, A scarcely-visited, musty place. The horsehair sofa was scarcely worn, The curtains of lace were seldom drawn backg The steel engravings were covered with dust, The Hoof was in need of a modern vac . But when the Aid was entertained, The parlor was opened and dusted cleang And when the minister came to call, The sofa in all its glory was seen. But now, alas, the parlor is gone- The sofa long since to the attic consignedg Instead, a living room we have, For comfort, not for show, designed. Our front room now is a homelike place, With easy chairs both large and deep, With soft-shaded lamps to ease the eyes, And a divan roomy, just built for sleep. The kiddies play Indian behind the couch, And with muddy feet walk over the chairs, And books are scattered all over the floor, But then,-so long as it's homey, who cares? Priscilla Haskell, '35.
