Toast To The “Happy Medium”

Here’s to the great, big beautiful blonde,

     And here’s to the tall brunette;

And here’s to the girl of the broiler type,

     So tiny, but growing yet!

But here’s to the girl who’s neither a blonde,

     Brunette, or short or tall;

Who is all of these, and who, if you please,

     Is the dandiest girl of all.

Written for Anna Thompson, for the linen shower toast to Mabel Reed, Oct. 30, 1914.
