FASHION! Lovely Dame!
Pledge in sparkling wine!
Let us add her name
To the Muses’ nine!

THOUGH the lovely Nin
All should pass away
Why should Woman pine,
If but Fashion stay?

THO’ the Muses’ lore
Molder on the shelf,
Still may She adore
In Fashion’s glass—Herself.

To
The Typewriter

Here’s to the Typewriter!
Health to her type!
Whether blond or brunette
Or budding or ripe.
If she be the right type
Be she buxom or slight,
When she doesn’t type wrong
She is sure to typewrite.
