We must go home with the ladies. Coupledjtind not one hy one." Aside from the fnct that it is most unlikely that Mr. Harris was familiar with the “Queen's Neck- lace," that the metre of the stanza just quoted is by no menus an unusual one and that any writer of verse readily nilght drop into it there is little or no re- semblance between the Diiinas stanza and the lines of “After the Bali" with the familiar refrain:-- “After the bali is ot-er, After the break of morn. After the dancers' leaving. After the stars are gone: Many it heart is aching, if you could read them nil; Many the hopes that have vanished-aftei' tlie hall." Mr. linrrln has composed it great many more songs, among them "Soine\vhero." “Would Y. u Cnre‘."' "Dreamin love, of You" and "Tho Belle of the ..Bgti.'c nu§'no'tinn;_-o:_ai»'im: .york ;n_»s»,i,°,-‘L ` __ l ihat You Saw Me." The words may be tional. but ,tin a popular audience they somehow never foiled to make straight for the heart. "Just tell them that you sow me. And they will know the rest. , Just tell then! I was looking well, you know; Just whisper, if you get n chance, ¢ To mother dear and say i‘ That I love her :is l did lung, long ago." ' The song is in narrative form, nmi whatever you may think of the words from it literary standpoint they "fetch" you every time. in fact. the charm of all truly popular songs is that you aon't stop tn think of the words from ii literary point of view ir itil.
