ELOPING UP-TO DATE.
I The coatless man puts a careless arm j 'Round the waist of the hatless girl, j While over the dustless, mudless roads In a horseless wagon they whirl. Like a leadless bullet from hanfmerless gun, . By smokeless powder driven, They fly to taste the speechless joys By endless union given. The only luncheon his coinless purse Affords to them the means Is a tasteless meal of boneless cod, With a dish of stringless beans. He smokes his old tobaccoless pipe, And laughs a mirthless laugh When papa tries to coax her back By wireless telegraph.
