It isn't my notion of Rational Dress!

See gowns hygienic, and frocks calisthenic,

And dresses quite worthy a modern burlesque;

With garments for walking, and tennis, and talking,

All terribly manful and too trouseresque!

And habits for riding, for skating, or sliding,

With "rational" features they claim to possess;

The thought I can't banish, they're somewhat too mannish,

And not quite the thing for a Rational Dress!

Note robes there for rinking, and gowns for tea-drinking,
