Atte Girls orxltnpty-Otto•
They tell me 'was the fashion,
Oh, long and long ago,
For girls to look liko,1iliea white,
seed sit at home and sew.
Forth strode their sturdy brothers,
On really a gailazzt'quest
But the maids behiod the lattice
Their weary souls possessed.
To -day the times have altered,
Ansi pretty Kate and Nell
Are playing merry tennis--
In Booth, they do it well,
They rideacross the country,
They climb the mountain-side,And with oars that feather lightly,
Along the givers glide.
If they're not yot "[teen to college,
They are going by-and-by,
To shake the tree of knowledge,
Though its branches touch the sky,
For all their Greek and Latin,
And poring over books,
' With faces smooth as satin,
They'll keep their dainty looks.
Do you want a happy comrade,
In study or in fun ?
Be sure you'll find her quickly
'Mid the girls of Ninety-one.
,She'll keep that bright head steady,
Unharmed in any whirl,
And not a lad will love her less
Because she is a girl.
