And that one—well, it’s dead!”

FEMININE VANITY.

Feminine Vanity! O ye Gods! Hear to this man!

As if silk and velvet and feathers and fur

And jewels and gold had been just for her,

Since the world began!

Where is his memory? Let him look back—all of the way!

Let him study the history of his race

From the first he-savage that painted his face

To the dude of to-day!
