An illustration from St. Nicholas [serial], 1873, leaf 50 — HE DOES N T CAREFOR DANCING. II We ve seen the little girls go in, with smoothly shining hair,We ve seen the little boys, and marked their almost cheerful air;We hear the merry music, and the glowing lights we see,And where on earth, we ask of you, can Alexander be? in He is nt in the attic, nor… … THOMAS JONES. He does nt care for dancing much, he thinks it s meant for girls,He seems to have too many feet that trip him when he twirls;His arms get somehow in the way —as everybody owns —But oh, we wish that he could dance as well as Thomas Jones! tH
