WOMAN and
...S0CIETY...
Getting Ready.

The house is cluttered up with trunks
and grips and telescopes,
And fathers hunting all around for
straps and cords anu ropes;
The wagons from department stores
leave bundles every day,
And every bed and chair presents a
millinery display.
My mothers stitched so much that
she is growing gaunt and lean
The hired girls al Tired out from run
ming the machine;
They've burned out eight dollars
worth of gas while sitting up to
sew;
They're turning out new dresses in a
never ending flow.
You'd think it meant a wedding, for
they fuss around enough,
And they could fit out sixteen bridges
with all that lace and stuff;
But that's not it at all; it means that
Sister Grace will go
Away to make a visit for perhaps
week or SO.
