She bas the cosiest home there is in town,
A " Homey " kind of home, von know, a
place
Where you can alt and sort of rest your
face.
I know of house gewgawd so with style,
That when you enter you put on a smile
A sort of social shine, as you might say,
So that you'll harmonize and be an fait.
But oh, how dreadful tired I should get
If I should train forever with that set.
Ho, give me Mrs. Brown whose happy
guest
Can just lounge down and rest, and rest,
and rest.
Her rooms are low and broad, and quiet
green
'hat restful green, and all the picture
lean
At comfortable angles, and yon chat
In low and cosev tones-- and there's a est.
Of course a cat, that yawns mere in ins sun
A nictnra of content, like everyone,
Then Mrs. Brown brings out her dainty set
Of tea things, and we know that we shall
