And wars and things,
All done in black and white.
Though sometimes a trifle bloody,
’Tis my best beloved study,
For only so
One learns, you know,
To govern and to fight!
THE YOUNG LADIES.
The young ladies had a reception this afternoon, and a charming occasion it was. The guests were invited for four o’clock, and when I came in at five the party was in full swing.
