WHEN POLLY GOES OUT WALKYy
le Campbell In "Woman's Progress"
When Polly goes out walking
To see what she can see.
She is so free from fret or caro-
1t Is as II she walked on air.
So light Of heart Is she.
When Polly goes out walking.
Serene her mind and heart.
For she's well dressed down to her toss
The consciousness OF this bestows
Feelings Of happiness and repose
And peace. exceeding even those
Religion can impart.
When Polly goes out walking.
She is most fair TO see.
Though now she wears no costly 0eu2
Cut up in strips. and labelled pun.
or founce or bias fold. or run;
oh. no; Of these she's had enough,
And tailor made" is she.
And no frills running up or down.
The Quaker plainnese OF her gown,
Mars its simplicity.
So. Polly goes out walking.
Yet fine frugaity.

Combined with that so perfect taste.
With which sweet Poliy's surely gracol
Induces her to now have placed
With sweet proprtety.
The stun that erst went into frtlS
A noble mission II fulf1ls.
And Polly's happy heart now thrills
With glad complacency.
Her prudent mind Is now at ease.
And signs OF thankfuness she heavoS
No longer over waste she grieves
For all such stun Is in her sleeveA
And wondrous fair Is she.
When Polly goes out walking,
Light-hearted. free from care,
She perches on her pretty head,
A hat with plumes magenta red.
That tower In the air.
A saucy hat that flares on high,
Ensnaring hap.ess passers-by,
Unhappy wayfarers who try
To pretty Polly TO come nigh.
hat that causes many sigh,
Though Polly Is so fair!
And when she wears It 70 the play.
The people there, as well they may.
Expressly come. and money pay
To look at Polly's hat. they say.
What better can they do. ! pray
When it's beyond compare.
When Polly goes out walking.
She's not on "frivol'' bent.
On all great subjects which the age
And circumstance have made the raeA
On weighty matters which engage
The thought Of scientist or sage,
Her mind is all intent.
Bid her discourse on 'Trilby" and
See what a wonderful command
OF knowledge she has at her hand,
And who but she could understand.
Just what the author meant
When Polly goes out walking,
She's all in harmony.
~ o.
And happiness that meets her sight
A. on her way goes she
In harmony with all bright things.
That soar a.oft on glancing wings.
With every pretty flower that springs
AT Polly's feet. and round her clings
With fond persistency
And as sweet Polly goes her way.
She sings perchance some simple lay.
or some quaint melody.
Oh. sure 1t Is she weaves some spell.
But still. although we know her well.
There Is not one OF US can tell
What is the witchery.
Makes us recall Sweet Alice" too.
AS plainly as Ben Bolt can do.
or what the mystery.
Makes US sing "Au clair de la lune.'
Or yet that ancient classic tune.
I'VE won't go home TIL morning" Groom.
As II We feared TO end too soon
Some gay festivity.
Oh, can II be the magic lies,
In pretty Mistress PoLy's eyes
And she at will can hypnotic
Us all so perfectly?
When Polly goes out walking.
With step so light and free.
bunch OF violets on her dress,
She makes a picture / confess
That's very fair 10 see.
Blu, Polly. as We soon shall find.
Has a most wondrous. well-stored mind.
OF grea; profundity. combined
With versatility.
so with such faculties she's Mt
In learned societies TO sit.
And find their wisdom and their Wit.
As plain as A. b. c.
And deepest interest she shows
In all that comes and all that goes.
And weighs the cons. and weighs the proA
And most impartially.
She with each speaker sides IN turn.
Oh. disputants have much 10 learn
From such facility.
When Polly goes out walking.
Her eyes are bright and clear.
And as she lightly steps along.
The echo Of the last new song
Is sounding In her ear.
Both melody and words are new.
And as she softly huns II through.
This Is what We can hear.
Come Polly" II Is ten and you
Are at the Health Protective" due.
And oh. remember. twice this week.
On Socialism you must speak.
To Women's Clubs from half-past ten
Vp to half-past eleven. then
Al twelve some filters you must test,
And then determine which Is pest.
At half-past twelve help make some rules
On Vaccination in the schools
A. one Sr tn: %sssns must 80 f be
co Gaa to 'G the a 'Siss' c hub at Two
At two-fifteen you'll hear about ..
''Germs OF Disease" and without doubt
Learn How to Stamp Contagion Out!'
The Social Science" meets at thyeA
To hear a talk on "Vagrancy."
And at four sharp you'll have 10 -
No matter whether shine or storm
With that Committee on Reform
At Ave the meeting you attend.
on "Wil the Sweating system End
At six your subcommittee meets.
On how TO Light Suburban Streets!"
And Polly goes on walking
And sweetly singeth she,
This CHEEKY blithesome. merry strain
Which as she sings the low refrain.
Grows sweet as II can be.
For she herself Is so in tune.
So like bonnie rose In June.
SO fresh and fair to see.
We like TO hear her when she sings.
And some soft tender interest nings.
DER sub-committees and such things
A tender interest which clings
To Polly when out walking.
