that Baltimore girls are the prettiest
because of the climate and of the food
they eat. Ohio girls, it says, eat pork
and sourkrout, Massachusetts girls eat
codish-balls, Virginia girls eat bacon
and greens, the Gulf state girls eat gam
DO, New Hampshire girls eat pie and
doughnuts, and Kentucky girls eat blue
grass beef, and yet all these are prettier
than the girls of Europe. But the Bal
timore girls eat oysters, terrapin, can
vas-back duck bay mackerel, and soft
shell crabs, all productive of beauty. Not

beautiful, but the canned oysters of Bal
timore have begun to make beautiful
the girls of the Mississippi valley. Gal
liant Baltimore, you forget to say that
New York girls live on sugar plums.
