Ladies
CLEAR THE WAT. Thcx-e’s a change about to come, Clear the way! In the world of fashiondom. So they say. Skirts have been worn close and flat. But we’ll have no more of that; Oh. it’s the crinoline they’re at, Clear the way! Build the street ears good and wide, Clear the way! Even then the men inside Have to stay; And they’ll make a dreadful fuss, Just because within the ’bus There is only room for us. Clear the way! Married men with wives to dress • (Bills to nay) Are the picture of distress — For they say That it certainly will take Just as much again to make Dresses of the proper shape. Clear the way! Bullies go from hem to waist. Clear the way ! Just to svut the wearer’s taste For display. Merchants wear a fiendish grin, O’er the custom they will win When the crinoline comes in. Clear the way! —Detroit Free Press :
