Straight From The Shoulder.

\\ e men must view with deep distreati Ihe fashions in the daily press] I'or ladies shoivii in these desigus I'rom t-op to toe are all straight lines, As though, to suit the present taste, A woman must avoid all waist, it may be, fashion's present mood Is influenced by the price of food. Though too much waste may make us sad, ,A littlo waist was not so bad; And if wo've sometimes viewed with scorn The clothes that womankind has worn, Or marvolled at the facile grace With which 6he Altered form and face, We one and all must stand agape Before tho fashionable shape; For there should be no doubt of this: A miss was not so much amiss That wo can now, without dismay, Look on, and see her waist away!
