As 'legal representative' br I read a missive not my own, br On new designs the senders give br For clothes, in tints as shown. br br Here figure blouses, gowns for tea, br And presentation-trains of state, br Charming ball-dresses, millinery, br Warranted up to date. br br And this gay-pictured, spring-time shout br Of Fashion, hails what lady proud? br Her who before last year was out br Was costumed in a shroud.
