The time is at hand when the mai
den and matron secure for themselves
spring hats and dresses. They
spend many hours in the effort to fix
themselves up in such a manner as
to make other women turn green
with envy if such thing is possible.
What is sweetcr on a sweet spring
morning than sweet maiden with
spring hat and other harness TO
match? O! Yc maidens, Gods
greatest gift to man, how we love
you and the spring hat! lam writ
ing this little article in order to in
duce gentle spring to "hump herself
and come along so that the maiden
and myself may be happy; and then
again | must not forget the mild
eyed youth with the incipicnt
moustache. Who loves gentle spring,
bringing in her train, new clothes,
new hats and tight shoes any more
than he? o! Youth get thyself in
to thy shoes (or boots as the case may
be) and 90 forth to meet gentle spring
for she has her baggage checked for
this country and will soon be with
us. Could | write poetry would
give YOU few lines, poetry is the
only thing that can do justice to this
subject.
