V ' ;: Society,",

An Easter hat it was, displayed
Within a window wide.
And many matron, miss and maid
Upon it gazed, and sighed
And some exclaimed: ooh, what a dear!"
And some: IT'S just dream!"
And some, while pressing ever near,
Could scarce keep back a scream.
Yet /, a man, beheld the hat,
And tried in vain to see
What magic was contained in that
Grotesque monstrosty.
It's foliage of funny hue
The like no garden knows!
It's blossoms-ah, a gorgeous crew
Between a squash and rose!
But STOP Transformation rare
Occurred on Easter morn
This self-same hat l do declare,
Put hats around to scorn!
l cannot grasp exactly how
I'd been so much misled,
For what a vision was it now,
Perched snug on Dolly's head!
