Petticoat Government.
When lady judges hold the courts And -lady cops the force, The hydrants will be painted pink And spout cologne, of course. On ev-ei'v corner there will be A powder puff and glass, With chewing gum and caramels Ad lib. for all who pass. Each store will be compelled to have A daily bargain sale; A manicure will then "attend The inmates of the ."jail; And nothing but the kind 1 of drinks Imbibed through little straws Will' ever in cafes be served, When women make the laws. —Minna Irving.
