Womens eyes have become dim
over the needle, women's hearts have
been broken over neglect, women's
constitutions have succumbed under
persistent cruelty but of all the hard
ships true woman has to encounter,
there IN none that tries her mind, brain
and body more than the attempt to
walk gracefully in a real fashionable
PIN em-back.
