The Old-FasMoncd Girl.
She's only an "old-fashioned girl," she says,
(Ib it enough to disgrace?)
An "old-fusMonod girl" with womanly -waya.
And a -winsome and -womanly laqe;
A girl -who 4s innocent, modest and sweet,
"Who Is sensible, earnest and true-
The Tdnd that -will surely lie obsolete
In another short year or two.
She's only an "old-fashioned girl," you see,
And not In the least "up io-date";
But she Is the kind at a girl tor me,
And the kind that 1 -want for a mate.
I know it's very "old-fashioned" to say
Your wife Is a "saint from aboe"
But I own I am fond of her "old-fashioned"
way.
And proud of her "old-fashioned" love!
