THE ETERNAL QUESTION?

{ BY The Eagles Staff Poet.)
The misfiJ days have come at last. the
saddest of the year;
The garments that we have to veal
cause many sigh and tear.
Our winter suits are much too thick
our summer suits TOO thin
One day we wear our derby hat and
the next our straw ag'in
one man comes out in summer pants
with a heavy coat mad hat.
The next you see has on winter pants
with summer coat and cravat:
But the worst of all is the man you
sect is an awful scandal
Walks down the street with a winter
coat and pants of thin white
flannel
The ladies wear their new fall hats
with dresses of linen and lawn.
The next has on last years suit that
looks like it's been in pawn;
But the one that's best is the one you
see, and she is sure to flirt,
Is the girl that wears a last summers
hat and a new style hobble skirt
Oh, what shall we do for clothes to
wear that win exaetly~suit the
season.
What shall we purchase from the
stores that will make us be
within reason?
We can not tell just how to act, we're
afraid Wen miss it a mile,
But we will pass 1t up and if nothing
else we will wear a pleasant
smile
