NO MORE GIKAS
Who ever saw the likes Of girls!
With all their feathers. bows and cuflsA
'Tis fix and fuss from morn till night.
"Now, mother, done look all right re
IT'S not the looks that mothers mind
For looks belong to womenkind;
And men expect such things to see.
If girls would ever women be.
And when one has the bills to pay.
To make the girls look sweet and gay.
That's where the shoe 10 sure to pinch.
And make the best of fathers vince
How girls will giggle all the time.
As if this life was set to rhyme,
With naught to do the lve-long day
But CAD about, and rounp and play!
"Now do be quiet, Mary Ann.
Or, be as quiet as you can;
Your brother wants to read his book;
Your father DER his paper look
And baby have his evening snoo.e'
But with the creaking OF your SHOES.
AS constantly you move around. ri
No rest for any one 10 found
Why must we always talk and scold, 81
That girls may do what they are told!f =
But now to turn to other things
At which men often have their filings l,-
One matter of which much is said,
With doubtful shaking Of the head.
Is candy, which girl will eat,
AS if to make herself more sweet;
WOnQeTIuA, DcyOuu COhPeASs
But when one has to pay the fare,
Some things do not appear SO great.
But what to see them we can wait.
Papa would thus most willing be
His daughters not so oft to see
French candy eating all the day
When he has got the bills to pay
But French or German. Dutch or Swede.
IT'S nothing to that filthy weed.
That from the cradle to the grave.
The sterner sex is said to crave.
Yet one thing girls will sometimes eat
Which hardly can be labeled meat;
Big Jumps of chalk. slate pencils too
And all this folly they will dot
That they may have complexion white
And be in form and figure slight;
And when they want the last in hastes
BY lacing they make small the waist
A kind Of waste that's sure to bc'aa
Their passport to Eternity.
But nothing has been said, as yet.
OF girls in weather cold andBwet
Boys must be bundled up with cares
Fur coats and wooden mittens wear;
With boots whose ssoies are madesso thick
That to receive from them a kick. n
(And boys are apt to kick. you know.}T
Is almost equal 10 a blow
Boys hats about their ears come down
Till head is almost pushed .thro CROWN
But girls on head will nothing wear;
Hats are such things to niuss the hair"
Or if bonnet must be worn.
Not one to crown but adorn
Their shoes with soles of paper made;
Nice things in mud and sleet to wade!
Yet girls are said to tender be;
Whyq they are not is hard TO see.
If left to act and dress this way.
And yet tits very hard to say.
What can be done to change this rule:
For-when girls go to Church or School.
They always want to look their best:
Co nserff 80 No.
"I really wish there were no girls,
With all theirfeathers, bows. and curls."
So signs mamma each weary day;
So groans papa with bills to pay;
And brothers large, and brothers small.
And brothers short and brothers tan.
Join in this universal ,squall
Nineteen hundred and ninety-four;
q speak that date with aweD
The first Of April: on that day,
The women, all began to say
pray what's the matter with the rnen7"
The editor has left his den,
Named sol ,perchance, because from there
He roars at people everywhere;
The workmen from the press depart.
And printers devil has no heart.
For mischief that has been his bane.
And fixed on him that doubtful name;
The Courts of Justice close their doors;
No longer is there need of laws.
Wnen papers feIuSc TO PRINT ucWSs
And men all kinds of work refuse;
Yes, businesssto an end has come;
No more is heard the fife and drum
The trumpets clarion tone nosinore
Calls forth the soldier to the war;
Within the city's street is. seen
The grass, as in the country green.
All colleges and schools, alike
Appear as il were on strike;
No more the boys with noisy shout
The yielding football kick about:
Or bend to oars on the lake.
To see which fastest time can make.
Or now and then at Greek roots dig,
Thus daring to be called "prig."
For them all work like this is through.
And one thing only can they do;
In council meet with signs and tears.
Thro, resolutions voice their fears;
That moonlight now without the girls
Will only be like, casting pearls
Before those creatures known as swine;
Or as the wine-cup without wine,
The flower with its perfume gone,
The day without the night or morn.
Without the girisltOhl there's the rub!
Who will prepare for men their grub
Wash, sweep and work, from morn till nigh
To keep the household clean and right?
On brothers. clothes the buttons sew,
When. in their hurry off they go!
Who'll find the. slippers for papa?
Who'll tend the baby for mama?
