Yoi'd be surprised to know my theme: A Little Uinf?hum Bonnet. No mutter where I turn or look, My eyes, they fkll upon It, Ana memories fondly cluster 'rouud, This little KluKhuiu bonnet. Tho far away from me to-day, 'And sad am I to own it, In fancy I can picture her. Who wore this gingham bonnet. And not a lassie in this world, you may depend upon It, Can touch the curly haired girl 'Who wore this gingham bonnet. flhe never wishes Ho stay < within, ,On a bright and sunny morning, 80 neath the little dimpled chin 1 tied this gingham awning. And o'er the fragrant violet beds, iHer little feet went running, - JWhere dainty snow drops lift their heads, And buttercups are blooming, The yellow buttercup wub bright, But the golden threads that spun It, Could have borrowed many , a beam of light * . Prom the curls beneath the bonnet. . And violets blue as summer skies, And snow drqps white aftd pure, (Never could rlvaj her sweet eyes, i/Vnd snowy neck I'm sure. The little bouquet gathered there, With morning dew upon It, Was not so sweet, bo fresh, so fair, As the face beneath the bonnet. And so I thought that 1 would tell, . Why I set such store upon it, Of all my treasures none excell, This little gingham bonnet. 4 ? ????? j Miss Helen Oelsenhelmer left Mon day for Converse College.
