Couldn’t rag out stylisher—
Like some neighber-girls, ner thumb
On their blame’ melodium,
Whilse their pore old mothers sloshed
Round the old back-porch and washed
Their clothes fer ’em—rubbed and scrubbed
Fer girls’d ort to jes be’n clubbed!
—And jes sich a girl wuz Jule
Reddinhouse.—She’d be’n to school
At New Thessaly, i gum!—
