TO A GIRL IN A GINGHAM DRESS.
I have seen you in a lavender silk sweater That cost not a cent less Than seventv-five dollars. I have seen You in two-hundred-dollar Frocks that made me shiver In wonder at your extravagance and Style. I have worshipped, yes, secretly worshipped The exquisite lines of your Figure, and the art, taste and endless money • Lavished on its beauty. But, O, girl! Now you’ve got me! I’m yours, body and soul. Once I loved you One way —now I love you all Ways. It’s wonderful! I wouldn’t have Believed it! To think that you, In such plain war Glory, should have captured me so Completely in that simple little Gingham dress! —“New York Life.”
