WOMAN'S WILES, by HENRY SMITH CHAPMAN
First Line: Two snowy arms around his neck
Last Line: He knew it was a check she yearned.
Subject(s): Flirtation; Money

BEFORE.

TWO snowy arms around his neck,
Two rosy lips to his upturned;
The outcome now he stopped to reck,
A kiss he knew was what she yearned.

AFTER.

Two snowy arms around his neck,
Two rosy lips to his upturned;
The outcome now he stopped to reck,
He knew it was a check she yearned.
