[Illustration: "THE IDEAL CO-ED"]

~The Deal Closed.~
The ideal co-ed is a thing of books,
A creature of brain entirely;
With stooping shoulders and studious looks,
She digs all day and half the night;
People say she is wondrous bright,
But her figure's an awful sight!
Her thoughts are deep in the classic past,
She only thinks of A. B. at last;
She has fled this world and its masculine charms,
And a refuge found in Minerva's arms.
Now, the kind of co-ed that I describe
Is a co-ed seen very rarely;
The real co-ed's a thing of grace,
With dainty figure and winsome face;
She walks and rides, and she cuts, mon Dieu!
But every professor lets her through;
For her each year is a round of joy,
A. B. means nothing if not "A Boy,"
And you and I must yield to her charms,
And take the place of Minerva's arms,
CHARLES KELLOGG FIELD.

~Conditioned.~
Dear old pipe, my oldest friend,
Brier of darkest hue,
How I long to smoke and dream--
I'm in love with you.
Good old beer, an oft-tried friend,
Best and choicest brew,
How I long for you again--
I'm in love with you.
Laughing lips and rosy cheeks,
Eyes of deepest blue,
You I long for most of all--
I'm in love with you.
