IA fsll 10 describe sven then All the spi.ndor,
sboddy male most Triumphant, sboddy f..
male most tender.
They crowded, they pushed, ,hsy squeezed,
ard they tore
Tbsy ifod upon eofns, alas even swors,
For seldom they'd been In a ball room before
But y. 8. A. sboddy. fair Clsmenlins's father,
Was not Of this set, bs was radiant rather
Hs wife aud ne daughter were there, and h
knew w.
He'd psid for their tickets, and nsrsr would
rue IL.
No, mol till the last ofhls days he'd recall
With transport the fact that he'd bsen 10 the
ball.
His daughter was dancing Of course with
some Russian;
Delightful, oh wasnt iti Really twss
"gushin'"
Miss Clementne dances with Russians by
dozens
And firts with them freely, as though they
were cousins;
But what of the womcs Of Poland whose
shrieks
Would blanche, if she heard them, her heart
and her cheeks7
Aye, what of these women, whom tn Rus
SLAMS destroy,
Because they are Poles, and are romsn, with
Joy.
She hesds not, but wbirleth and waltzeth
away,
With genuine Rus, and her bosom is gay.
But now comes the hoar most cherished
by all,
Who danced, and are danced, at the Shoddy-
ite Ball.
IN hour of pure and poetic delight,
IN hour more precious than Of all the night
season when nature asserteth its power
Yer satin and shoddy-Me great supper hour!
he signal is given, 0 fatsf how they crush 7
muse how they battle ! good God how
they rush
IS though their existence, their fortunes
and all,
Tere staked on the time when they reached
Irving Bali
he tables with glory and gout are arraye6,
Onfectons are plenty; and tro mighty CzdYs,
lezander and A6e, await the huEzas
+ all who behold them in sugar together.
Remember the proverb of /" birds of feath-
ey')
The viands and wines, oh you ne'er would
forget them,
ut few can accomplish this desirable feat;
o the many look on while the happy few eat.
m told IN the midst of the terrible jam
ONE fair female lips muttered audibly
damn"
nd some fragile creatures" waxed wild in
their wrath
nd tore rival skirts in their furious path.
ut effort was vain. The weaker sex found
hat men are but beasts when "feeding
times" round.
nd what can be hoped from creatures Of
Shoddy
hose hearts in their purse, whose soul 10
all body.
ssdes, just consider unreasonable sinner,
is seldom Shoddyite's eaten dinner.
AT last, though, tpe supper wherein
cannot sup asAa. rfk
over and ended and eaten all up
nd sweet Clemehtina and g darling papa"
, happy, she hungry, make search for
" mamma,"
nd together the trio depart one and all
om the scene of the blunder that's known
as The Ball.
And now for the moral of this my short
