APRONS.

Aprons are such intriguing things, They have been so since the world began: An organdie ruffle—a perky bow— May be the undoing of any man. Have you seen blue - gingham starched and clean— Deepen the blue in a woman’s eyes, Until you thought only of blue birds’ wings—or the sea— Or the high blue summer skies? And who could resist a pink-cheeked girl, In a rose-pink apron above a flame ? Many a man for a pot of tea Would barter his own good name. Do you love an old lady who sits by the fire, Who wears white aprons all filmy with lace? Do you think of the angels when you look , Into her old sweet smiling face Aprons are such intriguing things: The. white and the blue aiui the pink of the dawn— A womanly woman always seems More wholesome and sweet with an apron on.
