A BACHELOR'S IDEA OF THE GIRLS NEEDED.

(Dedicated to the girls of the Technical Classes of Otago.) The girls with learning, girls with skill, . The girls with gentle, loving power, Who've learned to cook, or even to grill What you may need at any hour. They've learned to hake good toothsome scones, And fish and fritters they can fry Ihe finest stock they make from hon^s. And fat and jelly clarify. Cak« and pastry, roll and hxm Ingredients given, ana recine,— ™ erVeS ancl entrees > everyone, They can provide with small outlay. T^n c lasses who ' " wllen aught's to do, Will never sit them down and dream; J3ut wash the shirt, or cook the stew Or put the needle to the seam. Their gowns they shape, and make, and menZi -their brothers' clothes keep in repairThey're just the sort who, to Jjfe's end, A man's luck, good or bad, will share. Such lasses, when the times are hard, Will lighten labour with * song; If butter's dear, they'll bake with lar<3 f And plan and spare to get along. No other sort make thrifty wives ; They fill man's home and soul with g7ee; The man who gets one always thrives; I hope there's still one left for me. — Alec Alas.
