The Not-A-Chance Club

young maids,
Not ‘Old Maids,” of course under
stand.
Have taken advantage of nineteen
sixteen
In trying to capture a man. l
Tuesdav we meet at eleven ¢’clock, !
To sew for the future and chat,
For thovoh we're indifferent, we
each on= admit
That “A man’s a man for all that.” |
Y 2 eal it the “Not-A-Chance
Club” don’t you see,
*What's the we<e,” js the motto
we've taken. ®
O'd maids are our flowers, and
though you mav lauch,
Our stand is not easily shaken.
Ech rloud holds a lining of silver
for us. :
Ovr futures are tinted with rose,
And so for our colors we've chdsen
these twn
Whose csionificance every one
knows.
Althoroh we talk of scandal and
such,
Wa manace to do some sewing, l
And put it away for a future day |
For our hones are steadily growing |
—A Man. |
