THE GIRLS WE WANT.
The girls that aie wanted are aood girlsGood from the heart to the lips Pure as the lily is white and pure From its heart to its swoct leaf tips The girls that are wanted are home girls — Girls that are mother's right hand That fathers and brothers can trust to And the little ones understand. Girls that are fair on the hearthstone, And pleasant when nobody sees Kind and sweet to their own folks, Ready and anxious to please. The girls that are wanted are i\ lse girls, That know what to do and to say • That drive with a smile and a soft word The wrath of a household away The girls that are wanted are girls of sense, Whom fashion can never deceive . Who cam follow whatever is nrettv, And dare what is silly to leave. The girls that are wanted are careful girls, Who count what a thing; will cose Who use with a prudent generous hand, But see that nothing is lost
