A MATTER OF IMPORTANCE,

Let us pause in our discussions
OF women's right to vote
And for time consider
"a question less remote.
No doubt the rights of women
Have been ignored by men.
n doubt by these same creatures
They'll be ignored again.
But that is not the question;
What now concerns us more
Shunts politics and pushes
Religion to the fore.
That is to say, shall women
Take OFF their hats in church.
Or give the men around them
A more exalted perch?
According to the fashions
Prevailing most today,
The women's giant Donnets
Block up the narrow way.
So men cannot get iii it,
Or even see ahead,
And soon they will be hitting
The broad one that is red.
Now, therefore, will the women
Adopt different plan?
Or will they keep the bonnet
And sacrifice the man9
