Helen Farnham, 12. Eunice Farnham (Payne)There is a poem on the back of the frame;
Away in the merry southland,
Far down where the oranges grow ==
In the land of the great busy city,
Where the angels were lost long ago,
There's a way to forget your troubles,
For a day to be brimful of fun,
And the jolly Balloon Route Excursion Guide
Will show you how it is done.
"Not up in the air" he takes you,
Though you'd think you had left the earth,
For weariness, trouble, sorrow or care,
Have no place in this car load of mirth,
Then away and away he will speed you,
Through Fairly Land, down to the shore;
Then back to real life, he will leave you at night,
With a feeling == yes a longing, for more.
