A VACATION LITANY.

(The Feminine View.)

BY BERTON BRALEY.

From places which are miles

From anywhere at all. Where there aren't any styles And no one conies to call: From shacks far, far too small And bunks devoid of ease.

From all the "wildwood's thrall." Good Lord, excuse us. please!

From tramping over bogs

Before the drawn is gray;

From choruses of frogs.

And katydide at play From hearing, night and day.

Those endless histories

Of fish that got away,

Good Lord, excuse us, please!

*

From camping stoves that simoke

And make us wipe our eyes. From phongraphs which croak

Old records wa despise: From whiskers which disguise

-Man's physiognomies,

Yet which they seem to prize, Good Lord, excuse us, please!

From food forever fried,

Frum ants, mosquitoes, fleas, From spots men view with pride, Good Lord, excuse us, please!
