Who longed to appear at her best,
Aud when she came east
The longing increased
And would not permit her to rest.
She hurried at once to my store,
Enchanting, when inside the door
All! This is the place
To find Ribbons and Lace
With Bonnets and Hats galore.
She ordered a hat trimmed in green,
And said she never had seen
A better display

All stylish enough for a queen.

Is made up Of styles
Suitable tor every body,
At prices that are
Reasonable.
