THE LADY IN THE FLAT.
Twas the week before Christmas and all through the flat There were things that her hubby cared not to look at; Sha had bath-robes and slippers and necktie* and socks Filed up in the closets, and box after box She was packing to send to her nephew and nieces, She was nervous enough to almost fly to pieces: She’d begun to buy things in July, but she • still Kept thinking of gifts to have put on the ' >ill. There were dollies and sleds, there were gew-rgaws and toys For her friend’s little girls and her sister's amalwbdys, And she wck; de red what Santa might bring her— 8k thought Of dozen* of wirings that she wanted, but not Of the one thing of all of the world’s treasures that Would have made Christmas more than bluff in that flat.
