R omance By Grace M. Peters in Colliers TELL me a tale of the picaroons,^ Or else of a sailor bold.Sing me a song of Spanish doubloons,And whisper of hidden gold. Im sick to my soul of social vice,And of votes for women, too; The cost of buying a pound of rice,And what will our Congress do. Away with all thats timely and new.Forget the turkeytrot dance, Eugenist, scientist, banish the crew IAnd quaff me the cup, Romance! So lets go sailing over the sea In search of Adventures far,Sail on till we come to Arcadie, Where our childhoods heroes are. Lets run in Sherwood with Robins band.And prowl with Harun the Wise, Find Fridays footsteps upon the sandAnd joust for our ladies eyes. Tell me a tale of knights of the road, Or else of a Chinese junk.Sing me a song of jewels that glowed, Whisper of galleons sunk. Well go in quest of the fleece of gold.Or fight for the fame of Rome; And not till weve drained those days of oldWill we turn reluctant home. THB

This remark was followed bya volley of unjust criticism of the railroad fromother passengers in that part of the car. Would it not have been better for the youngwoman to have answered the remark somewhatin this manner: The train that is passing usis loaded with a high grade of perishablefreight, of which the consignees are in urgentneed.
