Frederick A, Stokes Co.) N opulent agronomist, Named Edwin Trowbridge, mar- tied Peggy. - They lived where simple ways persist And wheat is prime and colts are leggy. While Edwin loved his bride a lot, His breed were always Lords and Masters ; So Peggy had to plan and plot To rule and yet avoid disasters. (Oh, how these women domincer ! They do the things you tell ‘em not to Then calmly say, “ Forgive, me, dear!” And then, you brute, of course you've got to!) He planned a trip to see a fair. She wished to view Niagra Falls, so Eloping by herself to there, She made him hasten thither also. Their home was hers to run, and still He wouldn't let her re-arrange it. She locked him up and worked her will When all was done he couldn't change it. Tn time this male conservative Allowed her need of spheres expand- ing; And Ed and Peg have learned to live In peace, with Love and Understand- ing. Thus women reign. Yet if and when We ought to curb their divagations, What means have weak and loving men To guard against their machinations! How may we foil the wiles complex By which they dominate and quell us? Won't some sweet traitress to her sex Be base and kind enough to tell us?
