NEWS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN
*N OLD MAN WONDERS
By Edgar A. Guest. si
Did we ever have more fun than
they
Who wear the garb of youtfn today?
Were our eyes really brighter then,
Or are we foolish, gray, old men
Who merely fancy in our rhymes
That life has lost those good old
times ?
I wonder were the girls we knew
In gingham gowns of pink and blue,
And braided hair and ankle skirts,
So very shy! or were they flirts?
Were they much different from the
maids
Of now who have no ribboned
braids?
We sang and danced the latest styles
And lost our heads for maiden’s
smiles;
We often stole a kiss or two
Which like as not these youngsters
do;
I fancy, though I do not know,
They still hold hands, as long ago.
We tell our little boasts of all
We did when we were young anil
tall;
We fancy, joy was sweeter then;
But are we foolish, gray old men
S#ll clinging to the long ago?
And is our prattle really so?
Will not these youngsters turn and
»«y,
When they, like us, are old and
gray,
And hear some newer ballad sung;
U We’d sweeter songs when we were
young,
I fancy they, Mke fia, at last will
Cherish memories of the past.
