THE NEW HEROES.
“The modern girl, who is accused of 1 much, is wise in one thing: She is marrying brains rather than muscles.” Daily Paper.) When warfare was waged by Great Britain, And Angela worked at Whitehall, With love she was frequently smitten For warriors brawny and tall. These symptoms no longer continue. But Angela, though she refrains From worshipping muscle and sinew. Is thrilled, to the marrow by brains! Time was when, intensely hut vainly. 1 I longed for fTie looks of a Nares, For the glorious voice of an Ainley, Or Fairbanks, his graces and airs; Though each, one, in turn, was her hero, And each from his pedestal fell, To-day, if she mentions Pinero She makes me as jealous us—well. Oh, Wells, Merrick, Bennett, and Barrie! Oh, mountainous Gilbert K.C.! Why magnetise her I would marry? Why wean her affections from me? And you, Mr. Lloyd George, whatever, Vous aussi, c,her Anatole France! . Please don’t be so deueedly clever! Do give me a ghost of a chance!
