Zulcika scrambled eggs in hats; A roving prestidigitator, Her beauty dazzled owls and bats And tamed the fiercest. woman-hater. Men fell in love with her in shoals In London, Paris, Moscow, Berlin; They couldn't stop to save their souls; All hearts were shrines to set that girl in. Though proffered palace, title, throne, With priceless gems to help adorn her, She knew that she could love alone ¢ Clod whose flame-proof heart should scorn her. At Oxford, where her grandpa dwelt, She met the Student Duke of Dorset He snubbed her; so Zuleika felt A palpitation ‘neath her corset. But when he wooed her, hi d proud, Her love departed with a shiver. The Duke, rejected, sternly vowed To drown himself beneath the river. Then said the Undergraduates, No choice have we save that of Hobson ; We'll join our Duke and meet our fates For love of Miss Zuleika Dobson!” The grand young Duke, so debonair, The perfect snob, the matchless dandy, As like Disraeli’s prig, Lothair, As cau de vie is like to brandy, Arrayed himself in velvets brave, In panoply of Star and Garter, And plunged beneath the surging wave To perish like a Christian Martyr. The student body, each and all, Their noble leader imitated ; As one they sought the river’s pall And left the schools depopulated. Zuleika did not meanly funk Nor fear nto cross the same bridge; She dricd her tears, she packed her trunk— And took a special train to Caimbridge And while ‘tis hard to rhyme about A grin, a flood of splendid 1 hope I haven't le That Miss Zuleika PANDORA'S BOX A story that grips the reader's inter est and sympathy from the first p. —Washington (D.
