The Fall Girl.

A thousand sing the girl of Spring— The girl of fluff and laces; A thousand more their fancies pour To tell the June’s bride’s graces: The summer girl of smile and curl Occasions rhyming scrawl — knd now is due a tribute to The bonny girl of Fall. The Fall girl— The Fall girl—'Hie blue or gray or brown: In tailored-made She is arrayed—She’s coming back to town. We celebrate the graduate Demure in mull or chailie; The tenr.is girl, with skirts awhirl, Evokes a rhyming rally; We softly chant the debutante At her initial ball— Where is the Muse of him who views The bonny girl of Fall. The Fall girl— The small girl— In blue o • gray or brown; A rare del.jht Unto the sight— She’s coming back to town. From head to feet she’s trim and neat; Her cheeks are full or color That makes the giow the maples show Seem dim and cold and duller. Now conje the days of smoky haze And distant Winter’s call In Autumn's blur —hats off to her, The bonny girl of Fall! Th? Fall girl— She’s all gir , la blue or gray or brown, Or any hue Th tt’s swag 'er-new — She’s coming back to town, /- —Life’.
