Sir, there ARE Fields In Which we do Not lead the World, Just One or Two (Let’s face It) where We don’t excel, Others lead US, And just as Well! Our Tastes, our Styles, We mostly borrow, What’s Theirs to-day Is Ours tomorrow. Of course our COUTURE’S Pretty HAUTE, Wait till They see That Deerskin Coat! But why not teach Them To look trim in The Native Costume Of our Women? Let Skirts be scant, Or Seasons tardy, What Female’s clad Without her CARDY?’ “Whenas in Silks My Julia goes” Hung like a Sack Round Beauty’s Rose, Her CARDY goes, Fond Eyes to cheat! At Counter or Concert And down the Street It’s a Hundred Years Since it All began, With the Seventh Earl Of CARDIGAN, What better Banner For the Woollens Trade? HE led the Charge Of the Light Brigade!
