because I have somehow expressed it, and if I had striven to hide my
thought he would have guessed it, for he knows full well what goes on
in the hearts of little maids and gallant lads.

Therefore have I asked him to voice my deepest feelings in a poem that
will answer yours:


"IDEALIZATION"

By Andree Leblanc and
Yankee Teddy.

"_Though our eyes may never meet,
To me you're more than bread or meat,
You are the proud and noble knight
That I pray for every night.
You could stand up on burning decks,
While others ran to save their necks,
You would not fear the dreadful Hun,
In Freedom's cause you'd fire a gun.
A lad who never gets cold feet
Was not destined to know defeat,
But oh! thou child of many pray'rs
Beware of Jealousy's deep snares!"_


From your affectionate godchild,
Andrée Leblanc.
