A HAT.PIN.
Al About II.

An ABOUT IL.
oh, Reginald Van Buren, lived
A very happy life,
Until one day a gift he bought
And gave it to his wife.
The gift was just hat-pin. but
The head was an odd tint,
A sort OF brown enamel with
A lovely reddish CLINT.
Was Reggie's wife delighted ?
Well,
Delighted!-she was that!
She cried, ITO match this hat
pin, why,
I'll have to have hatI
She got hat to match the pin,
To match the hat, a veil;
And now we are but started on
This very thrilling tale,
To match the veil she got some
gloves;
To match the gloves, a purse;
And from that moment, really,
Things went from bad to
worse.
To match the purse she got
skirt;
To match the skirt, waist;
To match the waist she got a
cloak:
All chosen with good taste.
TO match the hat.pin. Then
she bought
InnumeTable things,
From lingerie to things you see,
From shoestrings up to rings
To match this toilette all com

The parlor was arranged;
To match the parlor, next the
house go
From basement up was
changed.
But when this transformation
scene
Was finished and complete,
The dear dame thought the
dwelling-place
Was better than the street.
And so she found a street to
match
Her dwelling and her gown;
Aud then ALIAS, alack" she
cried,
''The street don't match the
town.

While Mrs. Reggie cried;

The unexpected announce
