DRESS TO ONE OF TnB sPINs1nRS AND 1IeH
PRIRsTEssEs OF THE NKw FAITH.
WRITTEN IN SORROW On sroSz-
Oh. Kitty Why bors as with reasons,
With arguments. fsuIss and tropss,
To prove that snynph At Al seasons
May handle ths nuskst repssS
To prove We rbould love her moro dearly
In ready made gehtIsmen's suits
Than garments that grace her 70 clearly
Much better than trowssrs and b00tst
To prove she's d. graced by allowing
The utls TO mso of superior
person whose scrs Dg al b0wing
Has sinister objects ulteriorp
That the day of recsmptioB ID near,
When females shan grApple their rights;
At primary meetings hu,ti and cheer
Or vote At elections in ttghMf
When, in similar dresses and trades,
The sexes WI h hammer sA~,
To distirg uish the virgins and blAdess
VIII have 10 be labelled BY law
When spinster may ganop in brass,
And swear like q bold Cuirassier,
Ogle he barnsn, cali him her LASS,
And below for fAgons OF beer
When judge, or . skipper at sos,
With PREF poets maternal ia view,
In q cause, or gale suddenly,
May stsrtls the bar or the crew
When persons who're bound to deliver
sermon, but fed 1t cAut be,
6cbd word that the B0unafal Giver
Has rent them safe delivery
When the wires with tid,pgs CONTRARY,
Flashing omens of lowering fate,
Nay shock . big State Secretary
Increase the Department OF STATE.
Kitty. Kitty fys! Kitty, for shame
What ftching demsnted u this
Have you lost al regard for yssr fame
Are you deaf to the general hissr
Shall tho girls Of America learn
Taught by you with . bArbarous zeal
That tinidity graceful to spura
VIII CHI nature has taught them to feels
Casting off on q wre ehed pretencs,
That exquisite trait OF the soul,
That shrinking retiring difideat sense,
Which gves them an angels control
Shall they learn self posed, In Q glare,
With cheeks unsDorisomed TO stand
To retort without hiBchibg, the stare
OF leerDg masculine band
Kitty Kitty Pm 6lNd with dismay,
Dread gloom ovsrshs dows my thoughts
When think Of the horrible ~sy
You'd plscs al our kwssthsarts n "shorts."
or The terrible lesson you teach
OF bashfulbess flung 70 the winds,
When you Chamber the rostrum to preach
W0men's rights " and rights Of all kinds.
Oh hsd you been born in Already
Then then W could aDs~sr with pride
When strangers asked, : " no IL that lady.f"
"Egsd, sirs, she comes Il ON your Side"
Sure am, If your grandmother lives
With bushes her siinkss are clothed
When the hears hat her granddaughter gives
Instructions that soe would have loathsd.
Kitty, Kitty, fye Kitty. for shame
VIVA frenzy mas seized on your mindp
Are you dead to che tcofs At youe name,
The laughter, tbs j-srs of mAnkinds

Yet, yet viii you follow the right
AID your name, your fair name you'll rstrivs it.
And shine like . soft gentle light.
No more ~ . comet you'll wander.
Or ncssor, that shoots in the Ky,
On which gazing hard. We all ponder,
Amazed at it, AnticS on high.
Yes too harsh we're my words admit
Forgetting, while thoughtlsss and Joung,
1t 10 torture for dsmsels Of wit
To curb a. sxorbtxnt tongue;
Forgetting that great notoriety
To many, no matter how got,
Or how it ma jar vita propriety,
Il swess - tbs sweet honey pot.
No, no; / repel tae aspersion.
That one with presence 50 fair
Can never be brought to c0nvsrsion
Like sinners with frost On the hair.
It 10 nsrely Wild cats you are sowing,
Deserved BY . whimsical Drain,
BY men. taboiss, and maids VINO are growing
Too old to be cured Of their pain;
Who because they are ancient and battered,
With hopes that are broken and wrecked,
Would wish other hopes 70 % shattere&-
The men al abused or henpesksd.
There's balm for your Evil in GilsaA,
And Gu pia's the doctor who can
