THE CHARGE OF THE SKIRT.

Half an inch, half an inch,
Half an inch shorter
Whether the skirts are for
Mother or daughter.
Briefer the dresses grow.
Fuller the ripples go
While whisking glimpse show
More than they oughter.
Forward the dress parade,
Is there man dismayed?
No-from the sight displayed
None could be sundered.
Theirs not to make remark,
Clergyman, clubman, clerk,
Gaping from noon till dark,
A the Four Hundred
Shorter skirts to right of them,
Shorter to left of them,
Shortest in front of them.
Flaunted and fiirted-
In hose of stripe and plaid,
Hues most exceeding glad.
Sporting in Spats run mad,
Come the rt-skrted.
Flashed all their ankles there,
FLASHED as they turned in air
What will not women dare?
Though the exhibits show
Some of them blundered).
All sorts of pegs,
Broomsticks, piano legs;
Here and there fairy shapes;
Just built to walk on eggs
Come by the hundred
When can their glory fade,
Oh-the wild show they made,
All the world wondered;
Grande dame and demoiselle,
Shop girl and Bowery belle
-Four hundred. H'm-oh, well, any
old hundred.
