AMERICAN GIRL


Here's to the dearest

Of all things on earth.

(Dearest precisely--

And yet of full worth.)

One who lays siege to

Susceptible hearts.

(Pocket-books also--

That's one of her arts!)

Drink to her, toast her,

Your banner unfurl--

Here's to the _priceless_

American Girl!



--_Walter Pulitzer_.
