MARY, QUEEN OF POTS
Mary’s eyes arc small and green With a temper-mark between. And the freckles ’neatli her eyes Wander o’er a bridge of size. Mary’s heavenxvard tilted nose Does not shadow lips of rose; Hers are colourless, though strong, And her upper lip is long. Did that square Iliberian chin EA'-er have! a dimple in— Or her rough and ruddy hair Ever know a touch iof cared She’s not willowy nor small, Rather' pillowy than tall, And her short and seamy throat Volleys many a stringent notej But. O Mary, Mary dear, If you’ll only tarry here— If you’ll only story and reign In our cookery domain —■ We Avil Ipaint your virtues rare. Make a nimbus of your hair, Name you quite divinely . tall With a grace that passes all. Call your \ r oice a silvery chime, Aiul your eyes a blue sublime, Swear you’re beautiful and good—• Only stay, and cook our food! Keep Your Flues Clean.—Your range flues need to be cleaned thoroughly once a Aveek. If this is not done you can’t expect to keep the oven at an even temperature; and very often the stove is blamed for wliat is really the kitchenfault.
