BREAD AND CHEESE 
I met my love In the summer ; 
The broozo blew from the south, 
Sweet with the breath of the clover; 
X kissed her little mouth— 
But I told my pet so plainly. 
As I guv© her bund a squeeze, 
“ I’ve lots ot love for you, darling. 
But not much bread und cheese.” 
But then she showed her dimples ; 
The bine eyes seemed to shine ; 
Her head was on my shoulder ; 
The little lips sought mine. 
She said, “ I am not hungry, 
And summer time is here, 
Who cares for bread and cheese, love? 
1 want the kisses, dear.”

tricts of China and Japan to select Teas especially 
for our trade.
