What Shall We Drink?

Here's to a long life and a merry one, A quick death and a happy one, A good girl and a pretty one,

A cold bottle and—another one!—Anon

Here's to the girl, demure and bland. In entertaining, apt and able; Whose eyes look down, whene'er her hand Caresses yours beneath the table! Here's to the girl with eyes of blue. Whose heart is kind and love is true!—Anon A toast to the fellow who when he drinks deep Gets royaUy mellow and then falls asleep!—Fales

—William E. S. Fales

Here's a health to you and yours who have done such things for us and ours;and when we and ours have it in our powers to do for you and yours what you and yours have done for us and ours, then we and ours will do for you and yours what you and yours have donefor ours. —Old English Toast A toast to the wise And a toast to the foolish A toast to your eyes— May they never grow mulish! Whate'er the hue of their eyes may be, I'll drink to the girls this toast with thee!—Anon Here's hoping your life may be happy and gay, Some honest work done and some leisure for play. And last—since I'm toasting your happiness true— Here's hoping—here's hoping your friends may be few! —MacAlarney

Here's to thee and thine. Here's to me and mine—

May thine and thee Like mine and me!

To our sweethearts and wives—may they never meet! —Anon May the last dollar soon have a successor.
