She hit the cosiest bom there ie in town,
A " Homey " kind of home, yon know, a
place
Where you can tit and tort of rest your
face.
I know of house gewgawd so with style,
That when yon enter yon put on a smile
A sort of social shine, as yon might ay,
So that you'll harmonize and be an fait.
But oh, now dreadful tired I should get
If I should train forever with that set.
Ko, give me Xrs. Brown whose happy
guest
Can just lounge down and lest, and rest,
and rest.
Ber rooms art low and broad, and quiet
green
That restful green, and all the picture
lean
At comfortable angle, and you chat
In low and coeey tone and there' a eat,
Of course a cat, that yawn there In the sun
A picture of content, like everyone.
Then Mr. Brown bring out her dainty set
Of tea things, and w know that we shall

Tie very nicest, deareet cup of tea
