TYPES OF woMEN.

There is the lovely coquette-
See how she constantly lirts,
Laughing now, now in pet;
Sootns first, then sadly she hurts.
There is the dame of the world.
Given to teas and 10 balls
Caring not whittier she's whirled
Coming when pleasures god calls.
There is the maid OF the West,
Rough and unpublished this pearl;
Heart that is made Of the best,
Glorious. dashing cowgirl.
There is the woman who pants
For all the rights Of the man;
Doesn't core much for the dance
Can't vote, but thinks that she can.
There IS the other so gay,
Life given over to dancing
Tripping the lightsome ballet.
Manner most truly enhancing.
There is the creature in rags.
Gone all her womanly grace;
Wearied. L5r footsteps now drag,
Sorrows have furrowed her face.
Can her bag if you will,
Pass this one by with a sheer
Woman she'll ever be still,
Worthy some fugitive tear.
Truly the poet hath said il:
Custom and age ever fall
Most of the world must have read it
Thy manifold blessings too stale"
So here's 70 that glorious creature
To whom all mankind bends the knee
The worlds most delectable feature,
The lovely and beautiful She.
