SOCIAL AND PERSONAL. En Domino. Lady in the touring car, How we wonder what you are! Underneath those yards of veil Are you flushed or are you pale? Or have we with many freck Les behind that veil to reck? And your, no doubt, ample share Of that crowning glory, hair, Is it dark, or is it fair— Or some queer, uncertain shade, Which somehow seemed to fade? What behind those goggles wide. Are the beauties that they hide In the way of lustrous eyes — Like the midnight or the skies? Or are they of doubtful hue, Mixed green, yellow, drab, blue And the form swathed in that coat Which makes it seem so remote, Is it sylph-like in its way, Or more like a bale of hay? Lady in the touring car We might guess on what you are If we choose; But why should fancy mar? It would be an awful jar If we’d lose. - Indianapolis News. County Treasurer George R.
