THOSE EVENING GOWNS.

*l* Uaa! I hear how qnaint and V ♦♦♦ queer They look who sport the latest *♦* fashion. »♦, v 'Twill give us shocks to see such V frocks «$♦ On any maid we have a "pash"' on. *i* Tight to the knees, small hope ♦> ♦♦♦ i she sees ♦♦♦ Who wears such styles of any *♦* *** movement. *♦* *t* Talk as they may, I cannot'say ♦* ♦J* I think the change is an im- *{* provement. *** Besides, you know, long year 3 *}* ❖ ago X V " Sheath gowns" were worn V and in the day-time, 4 *. *;* And womankind, I bear in mind, V Did not exactly have a gay time. *♦ They made, indeed, but little speed, «J» Ana those who gaily ran and ♦> scampered, ♦♦♦ Unbound and free, quite recently ♦j» Will hate to have their move- *♦* ments hampered. *** «£♦' Surely small chance they'll have *♦* to dance V •J* Who are by Fashion thus af- *}* flicted. ♦t« They'll ltave to fit a step to it ♦> Which will be terribly re♦i* stricted. ♦♦♦ Yet I'm afraid each wilful maid <g» *♦* Who reads these words may fail *J» V to heed 'em. «£♦ V And, vain and blind, too late may *t* X find *t* That she has lost her boasted ♦♦♦ freedom. ***
