When Flufi-y KufFies with her wealth
(but never with parade)
Had helped a lot of worthy ones she
gave a masquerade.
And Traddles was invited arid a lot of
, other men.
The guests came late: why some of them
had not arrived at ten.
When Traddles as a prince came on he
saw to his delight
That Fluffly merely wore & mask. He
knew the dear on sight.
Now if you wish to be let in to one of
Fluffy's jests
pray you note the damsel tall among the
many guests. -
She wears a Cinderella garb and Traddles
heeds her not,
And yet that maid is Fluffy and not the
one he's got.
He danced attendance on her, murmured
pretty nothings, soft
he masker said but little, although now
and then she coughed.
4My, what a cold, you znz, my dear 1
1 mean Miss Ruffy Fluff ;
(As usual he got tied up) "Y our voice
sounds very gruff.
Now shall we dance?" "J cannot dance
. i hurt my foot to-day. '
Let's watch that Cinderella there. She
: Is so brisk and gay." .
The . Cinderella that they watched was
also watching them.
Traddles thinks he s captured me
while- really it's ahem"
She whispered gaily to the monk who led
her through the dance,
"Why Traddles ought to see said he
"with merely half a glance."
Miss Fluffy," said poor Traddles (rest
assured he II make a botch)
Of all the girls on this broad earth there's
only "one I'd watch.
I've waited long to say it but I'm going
to say it now.
In all the world I love but one and if you
will allow"
The clock struck twelve and Cinderella
'came to where they sat. '
"Come Prince, unmask" she briskly cried.
That voice made him feel flat
"Poor Traddles!" said the pseudo maid,
"Prorose to me you shan't,
And there behind the silken mask was
Fluffy's maiden aunt
