Our Girls. Here's an assortment of girls from which you can take your choice : — The girls who love Darwin and Tjndal, The girls who love tennis and rink, The girls whom a good book can kindle, And teach them to think that they think ; The girls who are nice, and who know it, The girls who are nicer and don't, The girls who will flirt with a poet, The girls who ar- wiser and won't.
