SCORNFUL LADY.
“There did not seem to be a single man who she would consider as her husband.” — “Woman’s Weekly.” .She told the fireman to go to blazes; * Gave the greengrocer the raspberry; ' ' Scorned the grocer’s sugar; Said the bootmaker had no soul; Didn’t like the idea of a double with the bookmaker; Told the chemist his love was a drug on the market; Treated the publican like a mug; Told the baker she couldn’t live on his dough; When the dairyman offered her the cream of life, told him to cheese it; Refused to be mate to any seaman; Advised the soldier to get shot; But being dissatisfied with every single man she met, made off with a maried one, who was a model of imperfection, and not a working model, either. * * *
