liptic steel spring skirt for single day, will
never afterwards willingly dispense with their
use. For children, misses, and young ladies, they
are superior to all others.

spring. but win preserve their perfect and grace
full shape when three or four ordinary skirts will
have been thrown aside useless The hoops
are covered with double and twisted thread, and
the bottom rods are not only double springs, but
twice Tor double) covered, preventing them from
wearing out when dragging down steps, stairs,
&c.

Tor double) springs braided together therein,
which is the secret of their fexibility and
strength, and a combination not to be found in
any other skirt.

LET ME WHIP HIM FOR HIS MOTHER

Let me whip him for his mother,
He is such q naughty boy;
He the baby tried to smother,
And he's broken Esmma's toy,
Of the doll | gave to Ellen,
lie has melted of the nose,
And there really is no telling
70 what length his mischief goes.
Last night he put cracker
Meath his Aunt Terminals chair,
And he told me such whacker
When | asked how il came there,
Then when poor old Mrs. Toodles
Was just starting off by rail,
He tied her two fat poodles
Fast together by the tail.
1t really is quite shocking
How ones nerves he daily jars;
He puts pins in ones stockings.
And Cayenne III ones cigars,
You may guess that many another
Boyish trick he's daily at,
So I'll whip him for his mother,
As tires0me little bfat.
