    EPIGRAPH: The girls that are wanted are good girls Good from the heart to the lips Pure as the lily is white and pure From its heart to its sweet leaf tips. The girls that are wanted are girls with hearts They are wanted for mothers and wives Wanted to cradle in loving arms The strongest and frailest lives. The clever, the witty, the brilliant girl There are few who can understand But, oh! For the wise, loving home girls There’s a constant, steady demand.
