When the Elephant goes shopping,

Oh, he looks a funny “fellah!”

In both hands he carries parcels,

While his trunk holds his umbrella.

Animal Antics.

Easter Must Have A Pale Pink Innovation!

Morning-Glory’s Easter Bonnet

Miss Glory, discarding last year’s creation,

For Easter must have a pale pink innovation;

The dream of last year is faded and small,

And blue’s the wrong color – it’s not chic at all.

“An American Beauty,” says Posy, “is style,

To wear my old bonnet is hardly worth while,

Since Paris proclaims that a Madame Cochet

Is entirely too small and absurdly passé.”

A YEAR WITH THE FAIRIES.
