MATRIMONY

T. 99 would gladly hear

From one whose years are few,

A maid whose doctrines are severe,

Of Presbyterian blue,

Also — with view to the above -

Her photo he would see,

And trusts that she may live and love

His Protestant to be!

But ere the sacred rites are done

( And by no Priest of Rome )

He'd ask, if she a Remington

Type-writer works — at home?

If she have no objections to

This task, and if her hair -

In keeping with her eyes of blue -

Be delicately fair,

Ah, THEN, let her a photo send

Of all her charms divine,

To him who rests her faithful friend,

Her own T. 99.
