A VACATION ROMANCE.

"HARRY and Ethel, what are you doing?"

Harry's my chum, if you care to know;

Ethel's a sister of mine, quite pretty, -

As Cousin Maud, just over the way.

Harry laughs at me, - provoking fellow, -

He 'll be the same till his dying day.

"Reading, Ethel? Your book must be charming,

I see you are holding it upside down."

I noticed her blushes, she did not answer,

But tried to fashion the mite of a frown.

"Fishing Harry? You seem to be showing

About as much life as you do at your Grote,

For the book that ought to be there in the water
