Wanted.
Two arms lound my neck entwine, A smooth cheek closely presses mine ; I know what such caresses mean, And m my chair I backward lean. '"What is it, daughter mane?" I say ; ''What is it that you want to-day? Some more new dresses, or a hat p " "No, dear papa, it isn't that." "I hope it isn't laces, then?" "You dear old dad, just guess again." "Moie diamonds, or perhaps a pearl? No l3 Then what do you want, my girl?" "I don't want anything ; you see It's Tom this time, and — he wants me!"
— F. H. Curtis.
