ASK DAD HE KNOWS.

BY BERTON BRALEY.

But there are some matters she can't understand,

Some boyishly masculine worries;

And that's what your Dad's for, young fellow. You'll find

He's wise to the world, never doubt it;

Whenever you've got such a thing on your mind,

Go talk to your father about it.

A quite mid-Victorian fogoy,"

Who can't understand what you have to relate;

Whose mind with tradition is logy;

-Bat try him, young fellow; just seek him and spill

Your trouble; be sure he won't flout it.

For Dad was a boy once, he's been through the mill,

So-talk to your father about it!
