The Shirtwaist Man.

When the SIN is shining downward,
And Is hot as all get-out-
Then Il Keeps you guessing daily
How you ought to go about.
The latest great Improvement,
Built upon the iceberg plan,
Is the coming of a creature
Called THE shirtwaist man.
He strolls along serenely,
While all others cuss the heat:
He never wears coat or vest,
And looks so cool and neat
Most everybody wonders
Why they ever used a fan,
Since the coming. of a creature
Called 1.-The shirtwaist man"
But the general public swelters
AS a rule of etiquette,
And many men will suffer
Just to be a social pet
The year of 1900
Has removed an awful ban,
BY the coming of creature
Called The shirtwaist man."
