HOW THEY TALK ABOUT EACH OTHER.
In the drawing-room they say That the oook is fat, lazy, and ill-tem-pered, With absurd eirs, independent; That the waitress is flighty, impertinent, And thinks of nothing but beaux; That the chauffeur speeds when he drives And drinks when he is not speeding — Really a worthless fellow. In the kitchen, they say That, the mistress is fat, lazy, and ill-tem-pered, With absurd airs, independent; That the daughter is nighty, impertinent, And thinks of nothing but beaux; That the son speeds when he drives And drinks when he is not speeding— Really a worthless fellow. Life —Jeannette Phillips Gibbs. ■
