It was enough of modern stuff When Betsy bobbed her .hair. We thought it, was. just a bluff At being debonair. And when she-wore a jaunty skirt • That barely reached her knee., We said it really did not hurt, And left her, ankles free. She puffed a pretty cigarette— We raised our. brows and eyes, And said that by and "by we'd get Accustomed to surprise. She slipped into a backless dress — She slipped, perchance, is right! We registered regret, I guess, At such a barebacked sight. She's going now from bad to worse — We fear to die from shocks — Wo dare not add another verso Since Betsy took to socks! r —Mabel Haughton Collyer. Judge* •
