Lattice to Let Otis Titus used to notice, That his giddy goddess, Lotus, Didn’t care so much to gad as Seek the shadows with her Otis. Then up spoke this Otis Titus, “Let us build a lattice, Lotus. Lotus, let us have a lattice, Where no spying eye could spot us.” Lotus answered: “Let us! Let us! How a lattice would delight us.” “When the moon had lit us, Lotus, In the lattice we could seat us, And the world would never notice, For the lattice would delete us. “Clad with leaves as light as lettuce, We would have this lattice, Lotus, Where the bee would come to loot us, And the glow worm light us gratis, But no leering brute could hoot us, And no Brutus could get at us. Lotus, let us have a lattice.” “Otis, let us,” answered Lotus. —C. L. Edson, in New York Tribune.

Her: Nonsense! SHe: That’s what I said when I heard it. Her: How dared you! —Cornell Widow. The Power of Words Lavy (gently but firmly refusing all substitutes): No, thank you, I must have Scroggins’. I notice the advertise- ments speak so well of it! —London Mail.
