Talk bout women all gwine

chuch full of women, dey looks

does mo- dan religion to keep
women out of trouble. AS long

scandalizin' anybody while She S

"Furdemo' hits lot better for
a man for his wife to be maxim
over her ole dress dan hit is fol
her to be cuttin' his character
over accordin' to her own little
paper pattern. Eff you'll notice
dem women whut's always tryin'
to reform de universe is de ones
dat's got on clothes dat is yeah

women's interest in clothes, you
takes away deir prop an stay, for
whatever else fails you, you's al

rs done seed many a po', be-
reaved woman dat would have
committed susancide on de grave
of her beloved except for de con-
ISOLATION she had in gittin' in new

Mo'over, Sis Dlcey," l goes
on, hits hard enough to catch a
