A LAY FOB The LADIES.

A hen sat on some Leghorn eggs.
When. on the twenty first,
Just fifteen bright eyed Leghorn chicks
From those snow white eggs burst.
A lady sat in a church pew
With stunning Leghorn bonnet.
The women were all enVious;
The men were stuck upon it.
"A fifty dollar hatl" one cried.
''Oh. what perfect daisy!
II should buy hat like that
My husband would go crazyp'
But now you ask: What has that hen
To do with the Leghorn hat?
And what have the fifteen Leghorn chicks
To do with hat like thatr'
Why, sure. that lady fed those chicks,
And they became great layers
She soon had money for a hat
For Leghorns are great payers.
You wish a stunning Leghorn hat
That will the male folks dazzle
And lick the women all around
Into a sickly fragile?
Well. now. don't rob your husbands pants
Nor run him into debt
Nor have a bloody family fight
That Leghorn hat to get
1ust raise flock of Leghorn hens
And then behold the fun.
Those hens will go right on the nest
And quick they'll lay you one.
