When she once the Excelsior Dress Model possesses;
Of good taste and model she only asks aid,
And a beautiful garment is speedily made.
"While sitting content in her snug sewing-chair,
We see the fond mother the dresses prepare.
She calls up her children and fits them so neatly
By the children's dress chart that has charmed her completely."
Even the old lady "that lived in a shoe" would find her way out of the difficulties in which she is historically enveloped, by the aid of this magic chart, if it effects half that is promised for it.
