Show I "WE ARE SIX." ,J ' I asked a little chorus maid, All frills and winks and kicks: "Pray are there any more like you?" She answered, "We aie six." "Nineteen are in the "'Silver Shoe,' Twelve in the 'Jersey Rose,' And thirty in the Runabouts' Disport In gorgeous clothes." "The 'Prince of Kensico' has eight, At Daly's there are three; And other theaters in town - ' .lave fifty-six," quoth she. ' "Aiprithee, tell me true," I cried, . , "And play me no rude tricks, Howvmany maids are there in all?" She answered: "There are six. "Nineteen won wealth down Wall Street way, And twenty-two are wed'; In 'Paris there are thirteen more, And some, alas! are dead." "How many are there then," I asked ' ''On either side of Styx?" And still the simple sextette maid 'insisted, "We are six." , New York Telegraph. |
