THE SLEEVE.

What is it that, in fearful size,
That ever grows as time tBkes flight,
In yriad shapes and widespread rage
Is quite the wonder of thd. age?
The modern sleeve.
What is il gives the best pretexts
For glances that reveal the heart.
For lovers nothings, whispered low.
When into coat sleeve at must go?
The modern sleeve.
What is IL that makes Social fcuds,
Imbtters tempers onc@ most sweet,
When in last winters Siacket small
Must 60 the largest of hhem all?
The modern sleeve.
What is 1t that promotes Cur trade
And makes the merctantsthe art gro W light.
The ceaseless strife for fashions sake,
The countless lengths and brcadths that
make
The modern sleeve.
What is it fills the theaterS seat,
And at the concert or the play
One rival has-the theater }l3It-
And comes in size quite up to, that!
Tue modern sleeve.
What is 1t that will bring about,
An era of colossal things
If other parts must fashioned be
In like proportions as we see
The modern sleeve.
