MAGE OF Ihmsy crepe ue chine,
Thin as it can be.
Neck and shoes are very low;
You can plainly see
Her silk hose are very sheer
Sheer audacity.
Myrtle white fox collar has
On her velvet coat
But it's only in the back:
White bare is her throat.
Myrtle has the rheumatic
In her dimpled knee;
Quinsy in her lily throat;
Also pleurisy.
Myrtle has hacking cought,
And her nose is red.
She has influenza, too,
Stuffy is her head.
Through her fever blistered lips,
Still she gayly smiles;
For she knows she's all dressed up
In the latest styles.

At the opening of the Little thea
