THE RED-HEADED GIRL.
As old as the hills Is the mouldy old saw — As old as the joke On the mother-in-law — Beware of the vul with the Titian curl, "Oh, don't fall in love with a red-Leaded girl." ''Her temper is fierce As a midsummer girl ; A drop of the hat And she blazos with ire. With ease she can set your poor heait in a whirl, But 'ware, oh, beware, of the redheaded girl." How many the so.ws We accepted in youth, And credulous thought Them t>e essence of tmth , Mature years, however, traditions o'erhurl — At least in the case of the red-headed girl. Nine times out of ten She is sunny and fair As the sunshine that weaves In the gold of her haai , Good nature I've found in each Titian curl That grows on the head of the ie headed girl. Then don't com© around With your adages ' Don'fc swallow them now — There's a good reason wby AH proverbs axe queered when they spitefully hurl Malicious untruths at the red-headed girl.
