WOAiAN'S WAY.

(James j. Montague, in the Atlanta
Georgian.)
When her doctor declares, with a
glance at her gown,
That her ribs are too rigidly bod
iced,
And adds, as he gives her the swift
up and down,
That the cut Of her skirt is immod-
She'll calmly continue to dress in the
Disdain written large on her fea-
And say, with a lofty and plying
These men are the silliest crea-
tures!"
When her doctor informs her the col
lar she wears
viii quickly destroy her digestion,
That exposing her neck to the mid
winter airs
VIII ruin her health beyond ques-
ton,
When he tells her the heels on her
shop-going shoes
Her spine will eventually sever,
She says, with sniff and a couple
'"These men, they know nothing
whatever!"
When her doctor announces that
dancing too much
Will make her both old and rheu-
matte,
When he warns against parties, late
hours and such,
In language extremely emphatic,
When he speaks Of the wrinkles that
soon will appear
If she loses her sleep, on her fore
head,
She murmurs to Gladys: "It's dread
full, my dear;
These men are so perfectly hor-
rid!"
But when she is told by woman
NJ. D.,
With sisterly words OF compass
sion,
Just where, very soon, she is certain
to be ..
If she still stays slave to the
fashion,
And how she will weaken her body
and mind
Past recall, If she can't be induced
Abandon the frivolous ways of her
kind,
She'll behave just the same as she
used to!
