SHEEMPLOYS SOME BACHELORS.
At least a score of bachelors (among
them Mr. Dean)
VVere spending pleasant summer weeks
- at Blennerhaven Green.
Like Traddles, their sole reason for a
sojourn in the place
Was so that they could daily see Miss
Fluffy pleasant face.
2.
The Fresh Air Children were her care
(they were her pleasure too)
And every day she planned something
for all of them to do.
And one day as she chatted on the
piazza in the sun.
Surrounded by a mob of men, she said,
"Let's have some fun'
3.
"All right, . you tell us what to do."
"Yes, tell us what to do." i
"It's this," said Fluffy, smiling gayly,
"You, and you, and you
In fact each man that's here to-day
must help me in my plan
To make my little Fresh Air kids as
happy as I can."
4. '
At this most all the bachelors began to
hem and haw.
And one out on the outskirts of the
crowd said, "What a bawl"
Fluffy, smiled, and then, pf course,
each man within the group
as quite prepared for anything from
"craps", to "loop'the'loop."
, 5.
Next -1 day at three the bachelors, all
togged out in their best.
Came as they said they would, and found
Miss Fluffy simply dressed.
The children wore their "outing" suits
(their "only ones, of course).
"Now," said Miss Fluffy, "here we are;
Suppose we all play horse."
6.
At this each -urchin chose his "mount,"
each lassie seized her whip.
And up and down the country road they
made the poor men skip.
Some didn't mind (like Traddles). but the
most (like Mr. Dean)
Were sorry that they'd ever come to
Blennerhaven Green.
' 7- -With
leap-frog, "jumrthe'rope" and
The eager children chase the hours fci
their spirits never flas-V JJ
Fair Fluffy drove a four-in-hand, but in
mi& 6ire wnu raises jeJr
Although she seemed to lure the menr?PVw
the men made nought but misses
8
Aunt Mary watched the merry sport EutxJJ,
like most ancient dames
She thought it wise to take no part in any
of the'eames.
I Now when the afternoon was spent, the f
men all went awav! -
But every child declared he'd haditK
bulliest kind of day.
