WANTED-A LITTLE GIRL
Where have they gone to the little girls.
With natural manners and natural curls.
Who love their dollies and like their ioya
And talk of sumethlngbesldes the boys?
Little old women in plenty I find.
Mature in manners and old of mind:
Little old flirts who talk of their "beaux,"
And vie with each other in .stylish
clothes. ,
Little old belles, who, at nine and ten.
Are sick of pleasure and tired of men;
Weary of travel, of balls, of fun.
And find no new thing under the sun.
Once, in the beautiful long ago.
Some dear little children I used to know;
Girls who were merry a. lambs at play.
And laughed and rollicked the livelong
day.
They thought not at all of the styte of
their clothes.
They never Imagined that boys were
"beaux;"
"Other girls' brothers" and "mates" we're
they. : '
Splendid fellows to help them play.
Where have they gone to? If you see
One of them anywhere, send her to me.
I would give a medal of purest gold
To one of these dear little girls of old.
With an Innocent nettrt and an open
Who knows not the meaning of "flirt"
or "style."
Ell Wheeler Wilcox.
