The QNLOOKER HENRY HOWLAND Henrietta

Henrietta was a maiden with a pair o£ witching eyes ' And her voice was like the sweetest music man has ever heard; She had all the charms that nature in her gracious moods supplies— Henrietta was a, beauty, as you doubt* /less have inferred. ♦ She possessed a gentle manner' and a temper that was sweet. She was always doing something for tha ones who needed aid; Scandal was a thing she never found it pleasing to repeat, From the path that leads to heaven Henrietta never strayed. She possessed no taste for ragtlmfe and she ne’er indulged in slang, Henrietta was artistic from her finger* to her toea; Sweetest ecstacles were given to her hearers when she sang, She was free from affectation and was not inclined to pose. She respected age, believing that the old could be sublime. And instead of reading novel* *ha dipped into classic lore; She could neatly darn a stocking or construct a witty rhyme, And she wasn't always thinking of til* pretty things she wore. Do not think and do not say that Henrietta was a myth, Do not say that one so perfect never oa this earth was known; Henrietta lives and answers to the nami of Mrs. Smith; I've described her as Smith saw her er* be claimed..her for his own.^
